Best HM...

Heroes are passable at some things, and horrendous at others. Necro's make good heroes because they are horrible at managing energy which SR compensates for, however the thing that heroes are the worst at is managing reddots/bodyblocking which is why I would say that the easiest classes H/H on are warriors/sins and to a lesser extent dervishes. This is true to such an extent that you'll often have an easier time by playing going melee even when you're using a caster class.

i myself play as a necro and have for the past 2 1/2 years. i've tried other professions but none were close to as enjoyable for me as necro. now if you ask me what profession is best for me and only me it would be necro but for other people it would be other professions. i personally can h/h almost any area in hm (havent found one yet that i cant) and i've vanquished countless with me, the heroes (sabway), and henchies. it really comes down to which profession you like more bc most likely you'll play better if your having fun. thats my opinion at least :-)

Necros benefit from the typical H/H builds of Discordway and Sabway. Unfortunately, in the end game areas like UW, Slavers, Urgoz, Deep, DoA, or even BLA, pure versions of these builds tend to come out short.

Necromancer heroes, as has been pointed out, are reliable due to Soul Reaping being such a powerful primary.

Paragon heroes are viable due to the fact that unlike melee heroes they wont spend most of their time running uselessly back and forth between targets and the fact they can now maintain aggressive Refrain quite well.

Ritualist heroes also work quite well, though I feel this is because a blind mentally challenged wombat could spirit spam equally as well as most people, even if they relied solo on having a seizure and mashing the keyboard with their wildly thrashing limbs. The Hero AI can easily keep up with this level of gameplay.

Monk heroes also work quite well, I have never had that much trouble with Hero Monks failing to spam healing or prot on recharge.

don't forget about mesmer heroes -- they have insta-interrupt abilities.

I've been combining 2 roles into 1 lately, a n/me minion bomber/panic/dom hero. It's pretty slick.

paragon is the strongest,nothing can beat the imbagon

I disagree with AP bars with necros being the best builds for simple reasons, any area with quick or heavy hex removal will make it nearly impossible to get kills, also the northern shiverpeaks, tons of Mark of pains. Therefore i beleive the best build for H/H anything is 2 rits and a necro,most people use 1 SOS rit and 1 SoGM rit with an MM. What i use is 1 SoS, with 1 soul twisting with Shelter, union, and displacement. For the minion master i take the usually, bone horrors and jagged bones, however instead of the usual death nova and blood of master i take putrid explosion and rising bile. I prefer this build because I discovered as my Olias was casting death nova on every minion and staying back, so unless i pulled mobs to me Olias and his minions wern't in the battle unstil most of the mob were defeated. Because this builld is so defensive, you really wont want to run Imbagon. I am a warrior so i run earthshaker and for henchmen i bring 1 healer henchie, 1 ele, 1 dom mes(if they have 1) and a necro. I have done just about every vq with this build in EoTn and tyria for now i need 4 more elona and 5 cantha for the title and this build just blows threw every vq. i think you didn't ask for a guide but here goes 1 for ya. build works amazingly well for everything guildwars related.
