Basic Guide to Using Heroes

Wow, great guide.

One thing tho, skill chains like [devastating hammer] + [crushing blow] do work on heroes, and do work well, guys know when to use them. Assassin skill chains such as [falling spider] after KD...dk...didnt test that but there was an update regarding heroes using such skills, may work now. Ok, thanks. I'll take Goren out and see how he responds to those skills now, I was just going on when Nightfall came out and Heroes didn't even know what an attack skill was!

As for Assassin KD chains...Assassin chains are bad generally. Zenmai "thinks" for several seconds between each dagger attack usually. They need very simple attack chains if they are to be used, and the rest of the skillbar filled up with things to augment the other things they CAN do, like Hexes and general attack buffs.

Edit: Tested. Super Igor is quite right, Heroes seem much better now with "requires KD" skills than they used to. Hero Assassin would happily use Falling Spider or Falling Lotus Strike after having used a skill such as [[Shock], but seem reluctant to use them after using [[Horns of the Ox]. Perhaps this is because the knockdown from skills like Shock is guaranteed, whereas Horns of the Ox is quite conditional.

Strange, mine cast all at the same time. ;\ That was what I would suggest. Within about 5 seconds of the battle starting the Hero Ele usually has all your wards up. Can't say I've noticed if they wait for Melee to be in range before they use Ward Against Melee though. I don't know why Martin's Ele is not casting them straight away, unless you have something on your bar that they prioritise over a ward - difficult to think what that might be though.

Are you saying you micro the wards for your heroes? No, they use the wards fine, main problem is them staying in the wards which is sorted out with flagging.

But generally yes sometimes I disable like all key skills/spells on hero bars and use the manually, for example [protective spirit] or [weapon of warding], although they use the last one decently they still connot precast it on someone as well as a player can do it.
