I would like here to express my thanks to the wonderful heroes and henchmen who have made my GW experience so fun.
Special mention, I think should go to:

Heroes:
1- Tahlkora: has been through think and thin with me ever since Nightfall started. She has been doing an awesome job keeping the party alive and interrupting foes.
2- Acolyte Sousuke: superb elementalist with enough fire power to mow thru enemy ranks.
3- Olias: the best minion master one could possibly hope for, never tiring, always doing his job.
4- Gwen: although a new addition she proved brilliant. I had parked her across the wall from the Lich in the Gate of Madness to keep him busy while I capped the shrines. I had later to disable her skills because the Lich almost died and we could have lost the bonus

Henchmen:
1- Lina: Its been an honor being protected by you.
2- Kihm: same as Lina, except Lina stuck around more.
3- Devona: excellent KD warrior, despite what some people say. Willa the Unpleasant and Varesh Ossa confirm my opinion.
4- Eve: self sacrifice to keep others' energy high cannot go unmentioned.
5- Herta: very good addition to most H/H parties.
6- Erys Vasburg: lightning reflexes.
7- Cynn: funny and strong.. I just wish her Metero Shower wouldnt come too late 70% of the time.

My heroes are situation dependent, as are my friends, my religion, my preference of sports teams, my political association, and my gender.

...

No but in all seriousness, I love my heroes but my main complaint with both them and henchmen is that they refuse to move out of AoE. Kathandrax last night was ridiculous with them all just clumping together and begging for Fire Storm, Savannah Heat, and Searing Flames. Other than that, henchmen builds are generally sucktastic as well.

But... I'm glad you've found love.

Koss - moron that aggros too much
Dunkoro - "tactician" with the worst plans I've ever seen
Melonni - basket case
Tahlkora - whinny little pain in the ass
Zhed - demands we help him and then tells Master he doesn't want us to help, the hell is with that?
Goren - retard
Norgu - worthless glory hog that should be killed
Ogden - midget
Vekk - Asuran, nothing more needs to be said
Gwen - uppity little bitch who needs to stop causing problems (mostly with Pyre)

I think that's enough for now.

Norgu kept pwning me in the early Norm tournements so I regretfully had to strip him of all weapons, runes, and insignias.

(echos) . . . the fat bastard.

All my heroes own, All the henchies suck. But with my heroes backing them they manage to win.

My tribute to heroes? Thank you for ruining GW PvE.

Ok, Who called the grammar nazi? Also Heroes did not ruin pve, players did. Heroes allow you to enjoy the game without qqing, ragequitting, leeching or any of the other many crappy things only players can do.

Heroes>players>grammar nazi's.

NORGU: For messing up the enemy healers and casters
OLIAS: For half-killing most of the melee by the time I switch to them.
DUNKORO: For casting prot spirit/shield of absorbtion when I tell him to.

HERTA: For some actual decent support

Heros/Hench are awesome, I just flag them to a location near an enemy, press ctrl+space and watch. I don't have to do anymore work.

Livia - for taking the job of primary healer 90% of the time
Olias - Keeping them corpses turning since day one
Master of Whispers - for attempting to cast ss on anything that moves, while always tanking ( yes he has more deaths than any of my heros combined

Lina - does the job when the job is needed (hm only)
Mhenlo/Danika - cringe ever time I have to bring them
Herta - probably one of the best hench in the game without a doubt.

Tahlkora: If my GW character could marry anyone, it'd be her.

Zhedd: He's a centaur that throws fireballs at you, what's not to like? But seriously, I like characters who are normally "shunned" or looked down at and who turn up being a great hero.

Olias: I love characters who "turn away" from the bad path to assist a greater good, even though his intentions can be a bit disagreeable.

Herta: Total bitch. But thanks for the wards!

Herta & Eve - Both are head and shoulders above any other henchie out there.

Lina - Pleasure having her along

Mhenlo - Does the job, but hard to like the guy because of way he acted in factions.

Olias, Livia, and Master of Whispers - Execute Sabway perfectly, although I rarely use MoW.

Gwen - Best interrupter ever! Love having her along for those times when shutting down an enemy is paramount (Hidden City in HM, for example)

Jora - She's built like a tank and can work like one too.

Souske - excellent nuker, fun to have along

Tahlkora - Eww blood!

A bit comical, and good with the protection.

Zhed - I fired this aggro happy freak. I won't party up with a wammo who aggros 3 mobs, why would I take a "hero" that does it, especially when one of the mobs isn't even in range of the spin map!

The Heroes I use most are Dunkaro, Olias, and Acolyte Souske. A Healer with Res Chant, a pretty darn good MM, and a Nuker, they help me get the job done. That said, Herta has always been my favorite non-Hero Henchy. Never had any trouble with her.

Alesia, on the other hand...

The only thing I'm thankful for is that they save me from PUGging in some areas, and that time Alesia wanded a jungle skale to death in HM - I was vanquishing The Falls. I wasn't paying attention, got my team killed EXCEPT Alesia, who then wanded the last enemy before resing everyone else. That's the ONLY FREAKING TIME, in nearly 3 years of playing, that I've seen one do something remotely intelligent.

In general, heroes suck, as proved in our Shards of Orr run. MAKE 'EM MOVE OUTTA THE ****ING AOE WITHOUT HUMAN INTERVENTION, please! Not much to ask, YOUR FOES do it...

At least Sousuke's hot and Vekk's got good quotes. And nope, it's not sarcasm.

I also love how Dunk and Tahlk focus on the minions instead of my allies who are at 40% health and less, while Zhed is busy hard-casting MS on Justiciar Thommis.

Tahlkora: For being the only Monk Hero I use.
Morgahn: For somehow making a crappy build be good.
Olias: For making a better MM or MB then I can ever be.
Razah: For the quotes. and good nuking.
MoW: For the Sabway support. And helping me in my Imperial Sanctum runs.
Livia: For the healing. And helping me in my Imperial Sanctum runs.
Pyre: For running a cheesy Beastmaster build *and making it good* and always rezing the henchies when they died. And for being a Charr.

Mhenlo: For being the healer while Tahlkora protects.
Cynn: For burning those mobs to a crisp.
Aiden: For not overaggroing like the warriors.
Talon: For being the best, looking and acting, warrior henchman I've used. Tengu FTW!

To all others not worth mentioning alone: Thanks for saving me from finding PuGs when I don't want to. Especially you heroes.

Side-note: To Warrior Heroes: You don't have to be as idiotic as your henchmen cousins.

Vekk- Keep using those lovely "Pinky and the Brain" quotes. I will always love thee for it.
Me:"So what are the Destroyers going to do tonight, Vekk?"
Vekk: "The same thing they do every night, bookah...
...TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!"

muHAHA
It gets me every time.

Little Thom- Thanks for staying on target, unlike that over aggroing, wanna-be wammo, Stefan. I like how you're still wearing that coat I got you so many years ago. Shows that you care.

Olias and Sousuke are standard members of the team of any character I play. Their skill bars change depending on the area, but they’re there and they do a good job. The third slot is interchangeable but most frequently it‘s Vekk - Tahlkora if we’re in an area with only 4 slots on the team.

Last night as I was going through the Ring of Fire and Abaddon’s Mouth missions for the first time, I swear they were leading the way in some parts.

Orion and Claude are old favorites. They always make the trek to visit Galrath. Dunham is cool too. My favorite Monk hench is Khim in Kamadan. I like her quotes.

I do not like Dunkoro, Zhed or Melonni. They’re odious.
