Im a warrior

I nearly always take a minion master, domination mesmer (with a monk heal party skill) and SF fire ele wherever I go including gwen dungeons

- Hardly ever use paragons, monks, ritualists, derv or rangers heros

Which heroes do you tend to take and why ?

Most of my Heros that run with me come from this list:

Jora (most always)
Olias (yay, minions)
Ogden
Zed

Will run with a rit or derv sometimes, but mostly from the list.

Mmm, SF eles work best in pairs, otherwise all you tend to be doing is setting fire to a lot of things and never hitting the damage trigger. Additionally in Gw:en there's a significant amount of fire resistance (Fridged armour, Destroyers).

Minion masters are excellent. They're damage isn't that exciting (until you add [skill]Barbs[/skill]) but they provide excellent "balling" so your curses necro can do his stuff. Seriously, don't leave for HM without one. Rip enchant/SS/Enfeebling Blood/Barbs. For the utility skills I tend roll with the 2 mesmer inerupts or monk prot skills. Putrid Bile is also ftw.

Dervishes/Warriors aren't so hot in hard mode, but work ok in NM. I'd recommend bringing a Weapon Rit (Offering of Spirit, Splinter, Ancestors, Restoration heals) or Smite monk if you do go down that route.

It all depends on what class you play and where you're playing it really. 3 Paragon team is great if you play a primary para. Necros are great with anything. Illusion mesmers and earth eles make for great anti-melee. Smite monks are great for undead.

I usually take Olias as a N/Rt healer but no weapon spells (i'm usually on my Rit these days and he has a habit of ruining my own wep spells), Livia as a minion bomber with some prot spells and Vekk as a E/N earth ele warder with enfeebling blood. Basically 2/3 Sabs setup but it works wonders in HM. Turns most HM melee into kittens

Olias the minionbomber and Zhed the SF-ele nearly always. The two remaining heros get changed often, but are typically a splinter-barrage or BHA ranger, hybrid monk, or a second SF-ele. Recently I've been taking Gwen with a caster shutdown/anti-enchant build quite a lot.

For my warrior I usually run the triple necro, unless I need Interupting, which case I take Pyre as BHA, or some bonding/protting in which case it's Talkhora.

For my para it's Hayda with SoR and Morgahn with either Divert Hexes or SoP (mostly Divert though-I seem to go into more hex heavy areas then condition) and Pyre with Anthem of Guidance-although this last choice I've been experimenting with.

For my other chars....I usually leech off my party's heroes XD

Usually I roll with the 3 necros, works great with my main being a necro actually
When those 3 don't make the cut I usually keep pyre set as BHA interrupts and Vekk for when things really need to be blown up.

I normal take the 3 necro, but sometimes depending on the place, i could take pyro, Gwen, Jora, Vekk, odgen, basicly any of them cause not all my characters have the 3 necros yet.

Rt/

my heroes usually are ducky, olias (mm) and another depending on what character I am playing---usually sosucky (sh) but recently I have been bringing xandra (channeling) or morgahn (p/w build).....
I like using xandra since her healing skills are better than my e/rt and she does some pretty decent damage--not reliant on things being on fire for them to work.
though if I am with my guildee things change, but ducky is usually by my side for most of my travels. (and when he dies I say thats just ducky!).

I main a warrior, and I usually bring three necros along; otherwise I bring any combination of eles or monks. Rarely, I bring two paras and an orders derv, or even a mesmer; I've been meaning to try a Rt/N minion bomber, but I forget to, and I can't seem to bring myself to take these guys over necros in most cases.

Depends on the situation, I use all my heroes interchangeably.

But my most often used (elites change depending on situation):

Olias as minionbomber
Sousuke as Fire ele
Norgu as Domination
Xandra as AR/Splinter/Resto

I don't use triple necro as I feel pretty competent in synergizing my own team builds for Hard Mode. Normally I use hench monks since my heroes deal more damage then hench do, and with Xandra running a hybrid bar she can patch heal between Mhenlo's Healing Breeze.

I tend to run with Livia (mm), Master of Whispers (SS), and Gwen (Dom shutdown). I find this to be more effective than using the Resto necro in the standard sabway setup (I am an ele)

Norgu - HeV/Mirror of Disenchantment/shatter hex.
Morgahn - Spear/Motivation
Ogden - Divert Hexes Hybrid

Xandra - Channeling/Restoration (rarely, outclassed by N/Rt)
Livia - Minion Bomber
Hayda - Spear/ToF
Pyre - Ebon Dust Aura/Volley

Don't Use:
Koss/Goren/Jora - Warrior Heroes are just minions that kite when you don't want them to
Zenmai/Anton - Haven't found a good use for a A hero.
Razah - Can't find a use for 2 rits in one build
Kahmu - Can't find a use for 2 dervs in one build

I'll be looking soon

E/

Usually Livia (SS), Olias (MM) and Vekk/Sosuke (Changes, often dual attune rodgorts innovocation)

If no corpses then I add Vekk/Sosuke

Sometimes add Tahlkora as a Prot monk

I have been known 2 run Jora (Axe) and Koss (Sword) with one of the top 3.

Will run Dunk (Heal) and Tahlhora (Prot) with any of the above if required.

Rarely take 3 necros, I think the resto rit is overkill on the healing, especially when u can put some utility on the SS and MM (hex and condition removal).

Oh and Gwen or Magrid if I want interupts/BHA and the interupt hench dont cut it.

Rest of them I dont really use.

I'm ele, often mindblast but also go other ele builds again depending on the situation.

Nearly all of them. Some of my professions like to take certain professions (for example, my N likes to take all 3 N heroes for 4 N's... my R likes to take 2 R's and MM for b/p... my Me likes to take both Me heroes for 3 Me's...), but for the most part, I constantly cycle my heroes. Only exceptions are...

Heal/protection heroes. Henchies can heal just fine. Why bother to waste your slot on healing heroes? The only time I take a hero healer is for some specific HM missions. Sometimes, you may want a bonder (which henchies can't do), so I'll take a hero to bond. I also take hero healers for missions/quests where your team has to split up (since you can't split henchies). Lastly, if I'm playing with another player, there's no reason to take hench healers since you can take hero healers and still be able to fill the remaining slots with offensive heroes. Other than these, I stick with hench healers be it NM or HM.

Assassin heroes. I RARELY use them. Until Anet fixes the bug with heroes rarely using lead-off-dual (they'll often go 30 seconds without using the combo... just slashing away with regular attacks), I'll stay away from using A heroes.

All other heroes, I use regularly and constantly.

Doing the side scrapping bit in Tyria as a warrior, I generally took a Jagged Bones MM, and 2 Searing Flames Ele's using the henchmen for healers. If I was going to do Necrotic Transversal I switched the MM to an SS. Running around EoTN with a Dervish, I generally used Xandra as a Weapons of Fury + Splinter Weapon with a healer and warrior hero.

Jora, Gwen, and usually Tahlkora. In GWEN, I'll switch out Tahlkora from time to time and rely on both henchie monks to stay alive. Used to use Jin, Zenmai, and Melonni a bit more often than I do now.

Olias the MM, and Livia the N/Rt(Resto) is probably the most common on my Necro now. The last spot is usually filled by Zhed(Fire) or Jin(BHA). I have structured all my Jins to be interrupt Rangers, and all my Magrids to be barrage Rangers. Tahlkoras are my Prot+WoH monk and see next most action.

I've recently got Primeval armour for Sousuke so he gets a look-in ahead of Zhed. Vekk is the designated Air ele for some GW:EN zones. Most of the other heroes are full of cobwebs.

On my Paragon main, Morgahn (Command), Hayda (Motivation) and Melonni D/N Orders (she keeps getting herself killed in HM if I give her a spear. Sigh.) My Ritualists uses Koss (Conjure DSlash) as the conduit for Splinter and Rage.

Mostly I take:

Gwen for interrupts/shut down. Almost always in my group.
Ogden for healing or Tahlkora for prot or Xandra with restoration. I like bringing my own monk/healer instead of henchie one when I'm doing things on my own.

Third one gets changed up depending where I am. Most often I use one of the following: Livia, Vekk, Jora.
