Did you not notice my advice? Avoid_those_skills. Oh, I forgot Endure Pain.

Some recommendation will be good for the poster instead of just 'avoid' and I am sure everyone agrees.

The OP needs to know what he wants his heroes to do, and then find the skills that will best do that. A warrior with attack skills and a skill that prevents you from attacking, for example, is clearly a bad choice.

Orison of Healing is the worst heal in the game. It's an unconditional low-heal and 1s cast. I think it's the lowest heal, actually. Dwayna's Kiss is higher even without the bonus of enchant/hexes. Patient Spirit is alright, if you can wait, and Word of Healing is also better for an elite.

Most people slate melee heroes because the AI is bad at switching targets and spamming attacks. So, just replace them with hench.

Res Signets aren't great when you have the choice of taking anything else from a secondary profession. Death Pact Signet or Flesh of My Flesh is optimal in most situations, or Renew Life/Ressurrection Chant.

If you only have Nightfall, I don't know what skill is from where, so you've just got to read and see what works well with AI.

Another thing: do your heroes have any runes or insignia? Minor runes for their professions, + radiant and survivor insignia etc can improve them a great deal.

Insignias aren't too fundamental in a team; last thing I'd change if I was close to winning but still struggling. Don't use more than one Superior/major rune... Keep hero health between 550-600.

If your completely new to the game, but you want to improve your hero bars, I recommend grabbing PawNed2. It is a free program that lets you build skill bars, complete with skill descriptions and attribute point allocation. A link exists in Guild Wars Guru to its free download link.

What Higher Minion said, you need to figure out what you want to do with each individual hero and get spells that compliment this direction. If you are limited to only a select number of skills, as I said grab Pawned2 it allows you to select skills only available to certain campaigns (it even has a link to the wiki site for each skill if you want to unlock em).

I wouldn't say NEVER bring a rez on a monk - just make sure that if you do then it is disabled (to use manually) as you dont want them wasting valuable seconds rezzing dead chars when they could be healing

For quite a long time when I first started playing.. ehh, 4 and a half years ago or so, I was playing an E/Mo and speccing into healing prayers to use mending, healing breeze, and orison of healing for the first few months of playing, I was supporting my buddy who played a warrior and I'd heal him while he tanked, throwing flares up as we slowly went through. Not afraid to admit it, either, I was bad then. These things aren't always obvious. As you play through, sure, but when you're relatively new to the game, and particularly heroes and putting together a full team instead of just worrying about the skills for your own class (there's so many, after all), it's not altogether clear as to what's good.
