As the title says, what hero build do you always seeem to be chosing to fill your last slot? Or, alternatively, what build are you always selecting first no matter what the circumstance?
I ask this, because my heroes always have very average builds going, the most common ones I pick are say, a SH ele, MM or just simply a WoH.
So, what are your favourites?
What hero build do you always take?
Torment Burden

If i have a spare slot, and everything else is covered i take a rit with splinter, Arage, OoS, Mendbody and soul, spirit light, PwK, life/bloodsong, and fomf

Always grab the MM first.
Sometimes its a bad thing though. Because I end up taking it out in places with very little bodies.

If by MM you mean 'minion bomb' I wholeheartedly agree. Personally I like interrupts on my heroes as their 'twitches' are inspiring to see (though HA has been rife with unskilled people using Hero interrupters to get by). Even if I do have to use a hero monk I often put Leech Signet or Power Drain on their bar. As for eles I only use blindbots, the utility speaks for itself.

My first hero is always Gwen. 
PD with a bunch of non-elite anti-melee. I'm more worried about casters so PD as the elite takes precedence. If there's nothing to PD, I have plenty of clumsiness, sig of clumsiness and empathy to go with.

Discordway, every time, always. Unless I made a new character and don't have them, in which case I'll do SH eles or WoH monks until I do get them.

discordway + me: A/E (AP + YMLAD + finish him + glyph of sacrifice + maelstrom) = win!
Issac
Sabway for every place
Inferno Link
Probably the MM or the WoH hybrid monk.

I normally play a RoJ monk with Cry of Pain, and my heroes are normally a FC RoJ mes, a mm, and a Mo/Me support smiter with smiters boon, divine boon, reversal of damage, signet of judgement, and other signets. 160hp heals from Reversal of Damage and then the negation of damage is amazing.
If when doing a guild vq i always go as a Mo/me Healers boon mimicry monk and bring a hero with Unyielding Aura and prots.

Discordway or Sabsway. Or if im not doing a hard area, or i havent got the 3 necros. Usually something like this.
1. Standard MM with Flesh golem, and Death Nova.
2. Usually vekk with most of the times with SH and other AoE skills + Mark of rodgort.
3. Ogden standard WoH healer with powerdrain.

I always have Livia, and always try to bring in Xandra/Razah with OoS, Ancestor's Rage, Splinter Weapon, Mend B&S, Spirit Light, Bloodsong, Destruction (I hate Hero AI and Life), Rez.

at the start im using 3x RoJ or SF ele, heal monk and VoR mes. When i get 3 necros, discordway

Revelations
Interesting to see a couple people using an OoS rit. I normally run a Jagged bomber, resto necro, and since the AI is average at best with curses I throw in an OoS rit. 14 or 15 spec splinters are amazing.
Arage, Kaolai, Spirit Light, MBaS, and Recoup are all pretty staple on Xandra. Essence strike (if needed), cry of frustration, cure hex, and various other utility skills make pretty frequent appearances also, depending on the area I'm going to.

I almost never use a hero build more than once since I like changing builds + I always check the areas bestiary before going. But A few I often use:
W - Don't really use my war heroes as I mainly play war myself. But when I do: Battle Rage or some sorta spike war.
R - Barrage or BHA with a pet (For looks or extra interrupt on the dazed foe).
Mo - WoH, Aura of Faith, RoJ.
N - SS, Lingering Curse, MM using Jagged Bones.
E - Searing Flames, Shatterstone spike, Blinding Surge, Sandstorm.
Me - VoR, E-Surge, Tease.
Rt - Supporter with A-Rage, Splinter Weapon and either Clamor of Souls or Xinrae's Weapon.
A - Rarely use it but when I do I bring Palm Strike, Locust's Fury (Underrated skill in PvE), Beguiling Haze.
P - Command supporter or spear spike with skills like Stunning Strike, Angelic Bond and Focused Anger.
D - Rarely use, but when I do: Reaper's Sweep, Zealous Vow, Vow of Strength.

I always have Olias as an SS necro (I hate MMs, and at any rate my friend who I play with runs his Olias as an MM and I see no point in having two around), Dunkoro as a WoH healer, and Melonni snares/spreads conditions and uses Reaper's Sweep. The only time I ever use any different heroes is if a quest/mission requires a different one.
And generally all of them have at least one interrupt. Leech Signet, usually.

Recently changed from a follower of the Sabway path to that of the Discordway. Sabway still gets a look in though because I sometimes like to run a spirit-spammer build.

Two monks and one other.

I am currently trying to sneak as many disco rays of doom as possible into my parties! I LOVE a good AoE (for the pretty mostly! Gosh I miss Firestorm!) and that's the only one that's currently working.

HM-discord necros(or just necros in general with different builds)
NM-whatever i feel like experimenting on at the time,but most of the times i end up taking 3 necros along with whatever build they had.

If it is NM, I bring a Tease Gwen, an Order of Undeath + Fiends Olias & whatever takes my fancy...E/N Sousuke with Unsteady Ground, Defender's Zeal Boon Prot, Punishing Shot Ranger w/e..
If its HM, Discord Heros or RoJ heros, based on my character's profession, area etc.

I tend to adjust depending on the environment (including enemies as well as what gaps are left after you've taken four henchmen with not-TOO-horrible builds) but the MM is typically standard issue.
Arduin
Went from a Searing Flames setup, to Sabway, to Discordway... I really can't be bothered to come up with some interesting builds myself at this stage in the game, so I just grab the most OP build out there and kill stuff.
I even stopped tweaking the builds for the areas in which they are kinda counterproductive. No corpses? Just keep on killing... Too much condition/hex removal? Just keep spamming those conditions/hexes...

That's like the best description of PvE!

Discord if I have all the necros. Ray of Judgement (rayway/monkway) or some version of it for character without all the necros.

I use em all more or less for the same periods of time to keep the game fresh. Allways different builds, but their basic gear is fixed:
Norgu: Illusion, Gwen: Dominate, Koss: Axe, Jorah: Sword, Goren: Hammer, Ogden: Healing, Talkhora: Protect, Dunkoru: smite, Accolite Jin: Archery, Margrid: Beastmaster, Pyre: Survival, Xandra: Channel, Razah: Communing, Olias: MM, Whispers: Curses, Livia: Minions and blood, Zenmay: Daggers, Anton: Deadly arts, Sosuke: Fire, Vekk: Air, Zhed: Water, MOX: Earth magic (yes), Meloni: Earth prayers, Khamu: Scythe mastery, Morgan: Command, Hayda: Motivation.
Why use only three necros when you have a whole arsenal of builds? After all: In PVE there are few places in wich you absolutely need certain builds. You can get the job done with anything.

Talkhora WoH hybrid.
Livia as MB.
Gwen with a VoR build.
That's pretty much it... Tried runnnig paragon heroes and discordway, they both failed for me. Sabway is okay, but meh. Good thread anw, always wanted to try other heroes and builds but nothing seem to worked for me, might pick up something nice here.

ogden as ua monk
livia as discord/mm/splinter bomber build

I usually run some variation of Sabway, Discordway, or a Necro Smiteway build I've been using for a while.
About half the time I'll just go with some type of Balancedway that fits the VQ or w/e else I'm doing. Or sometimes just weird things, like a IV team spike for Destroyer-heavy areas.
If you mean my favorite hero, it's Vekk in NM and Olias in HM.
EDIT: Oh, and sometimes a variation on Yellowway if I'm playing my warrior.
