Alright...

So I normally use Ogden and Tahlkora (healing and protection respectively) in my party whenever I am in PvE. It tends to work fine, as I can have them focus solely on healing.

I wonder though, is it better to take 2 henchmen monks, and then use the 3 hero slots for +damage heroes? What do you guys normally do?

I normally take Henchie monks. That allows me to bring whatever heroes that would work best together for the task at hand.

depends how badly you set up your hero builds . I usually take hench monk because I haven't set up my hero monks yet. Unless I need serious healing, then I work on my hero's skills.

So, to answer your question, use the 3 slots for damage (or whatever), you'll be fine with hench monks.

I like having at least one of my heroes be healing. Don't fully trust the henchmen.

for most place hench monk works perfectly fine, if you wipe, most likely its your own fault over agroing and such, i usualy take hero of my choice that does damage to kill faster :/

hench monks, they do an ok job and the other professions have worse skill sets so its best to replace them.

Bring Tahlkora, with this bar: OwYT04XCzRjQX3ICk6xmGZM9BA

Except, swap in Sig Rejuv instead of Words of Comfort, and you'll win all day. Then just bring either 1 or 2 hench monks, depending on the zone. Normally you only need the one + Herta.

i almost always bring hench monks. 2 hero monks is to much. In HM i would usually run Sab's necro build, with modifications for different areas. In NM I generally bring 2 SF eles and a MM. 90% I just roll through.

The hench monks are good, but their condition & hex removal is limited. If you're going up against a lot of conditions or hexes, also bring a hero monk. Otherwise don't waste your hero slots on monks, bring damage dealer heros.
