Hi I have two accounts and was wondering if this was possible, I usually use my second account as a storage for my main account, but I got to thinking why don't I use the heroes on my second account to go with my main account when I'm vanquishing, I was wondering if anyone else has tried this and has any good synergy builds for all the heroes, I did try to search but I could only find things for 2 characters and 6 heroes,

This works if you don't zone. Basically group with 2 humans and 6 heros, then when you are in the explorable, have the 2nd human leave. His heros will follow you for as long as you don't zone (and when you zone, they leave too),

You won't be able to flag them separately or micro their skills, so that should be your biggest consideration when making their bars.

yes as sindy said this is the only way to have 6 heros. The heros will stay with you as long as you dont leave. this is what i do when i have a difficult mission or a a difficult area to vanquish.

Is having 6 heroes (party of 7) better than having 3 heros + 4 henchies (party of 8) ? For a difficult VQ for an example.

Elite areas are possible this way as no henchies are allowed.

It depends very much on your hero setups and how well they mesh with your three heroes. Most of time, i wouldn't bother with it and just go with H/H even if H+H would be more powerfull.

In GWEN, there is no question, use H/H.
In Nightfall, outside newbie island, use H/H, at newbie island 8 man areas H+H is more effective.
In Factions, Luxon areas are H/H, Kurzick H/H, City is H+H
In Prohecies its H+H with H/H only for areas that are not in area adjacent to outpost. (btw, Desert can be vanquished 8 man with NF H/H)

In 6 man areas it is not worth it to trade two henchmen for one hero

With 2 accounts, in a difficult HM area, I would go with 2 accounts, but I wouldn't make the other character leave the game.

I would select the main character, press space to move (follow) him. Then bring some of these on the passive character:

1. Wards (even if you are not an Ele, some of the Ebon Vanguard wards are quite nice)
2. Maintained enchants (e.g. bonds, strength of honor, succor, holy wrath, retribution, etc.)
3. Global Shouts
4. Pet
5. Spirits
6. Asuran minions

...since these do not need much active playing but still contribute to the team.

While ^^ does sound nice, it might be a bit cumbersome/annoying to actually control a second character. You still have to move out of AOE and "follow" after every stop.

Maybe I can put ursan on the second toons account, bind all keys to 1-4, pour some seeds on the keyboard and get a parrot to eat them, unknowingly hitting the keys and helping me VQ!?

6 heroes is > 3 heroes + 4 henchies
hechies have *6* skills(such as signet of devotion f.e) that you cant change -_-'. the lack of 1 character is doable if you have 6 heroes imo

As long you dont change the selection on the "follow" character, moving out of AoE is not so bad. Since the "follow" character always has the main character selected, all you have to do is, move your main character out of AoE, then quickly press space on the other keyboard to move the "follow" character to your main character.

My other computer (i.e. notebook) has a bluetooth wireless keyboard.

I've done the 6 Hero thing for a long time. Unless you're going into an elite area where Henchies can't go, it's easier to stick with 3 Heroes and 4 Henchies.

It is a little more challenging to go 1 Player + 6 Heroes because you are a man down (usually a healer), but coming up with 6 Hero builds is good fun.
