Herta just mainly uses sandstorm and just spams stone daggers. I take her as more of a defensive henchie with 2 wards.

It depends what you want to use generally warrior have higher dps and they can be used to "tank" because of their 80 al.

I would suggest Herta , she has nice damage and a defensive spell , ward against melee.
If you can get you or your heroes to spread weakness she can even knock down with stoning.

I personally don't like melee henchmen because they are too aggro for my taste...XD.

Same as I was thinking, I normally just use my MM's minions for aggro.

Quit fighting you too, it doesn't even matter. In a couple days both of these threads will be off the first page anyway.

For the question, as far as damage goes, I would take Devona. But I love taking Herta too because she has moderate damage (though nothing spectacular) and she has wards which have helped me out a ton throughout PvE.

Damage-wse: Devona
Moderate damage with some defense: Herta

I don't like NPC melee. They tend to be aggro nightmares.

Herta is probably more useful.

If I've got room for Jora as a hero, I take Herta. If I need the hero spots for others, I'll take Devona. Unless I'm on my Warrior, then it's Herta all the way.

If you already have a melee in your team take Herta, hands down. I only ever take a warrior henchman if I need a tank in my team and haven't been able to fill the spot any other way.

Here are their skill sets:

Devona - http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Devona
Herta - http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Herta

Thanks.
Sandstorm is possibly the strongest AoE in the game. If you want to deal with mobs faster, Herta gives you damage to more than 1 at a time. As noted, her warding can be a benefit as well. Melee hench are always the last one I use. If I need/want melee, I take a player or a hero.
