I was just wondering which of the two you suggest for taking out enemy mobs quicker, Devona or Herta (in Nightfall & at lvl 20)?

Here are their skill sets:

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

Thanks.

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.

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.
