Default Poll: Who's your fave & least fave hero/boss?

This idea came to be when I was in Arahni's Haunt. I don't know if there is already a post like this (my search hasn't been working, it's just a blank screen when I click it), so if there is I do apologize.

Anyway, I'd like to know everyone's favorite and least favorite heroes and bosses, and why that's so. I'll start hehe:

My favorite heroes are hard to choose, but I must say that Livia is my favorite necro hero, and Gwen is way better than Norgu (plus her armor is awesome!). Xandra is an awesome ritualist (and much easier to get than Razah), and Sousuke is a cute elementalist (hahaha). And of course I've always been partial to Margrid. Oh, and of course Jora. hehe I prefer Anton to Zenmai (he's much better looking to me haha), and Goren is just downright funny. I love his math comment in Dasha Vestibule.

As for my least favorite heroes, I must say that Vekk and Zhed are always the first to die so they irritate me the most. Hayda and Tahlkora are okay, and I do prefer Hayda to Morgahn, but these two are both more focused on becoming heroes so they're all "giddy" and what not. Sometimes this even shows in their AI. lol

Favorite bosses? I love Arachni, I must admit. Ranger is my favorite profession and the whole giant spider thing is kinda cool. Plus she has great greens (wish I had one lol). Shiro is actually one of my faves. Sure he can be a pain to kill, but he's kinda cool looking. I love the final cinematic in Factions where he's all sparkly.

Least fave bosses? Those are hard to choose from, as so many make me angry. I HATE Kormab, Burning Heart or at the end of Dasha Vestibule. One time I had master's and right at the end, BOOM. He nuked us all with Liquid Flame and Searing Flames. Pretty much any monk boss surrounded by a huge mob is very frustrating too, as since it's the monk you have to drop him first because he heals, and even more so since he's a higher level. Josinq the Whisperer (a skree griffon) is uber annoying because skree griffins seem to heal more than usual and are harder to drop, and he's a boss surrounded by rangers, warriors, and paragons.

Well that's pretty much all I can think of now. How about anyone else? hehe

Favorite heroes are a tie between Koss, Thalkora, Zhed and Olias. I love them so much! Least favorite is, I hate to say it, Gwen. I can understand her situation, but yeesh...

Don't have a favorite boss yet. Least favorite would have to be Mungri Magicbox.

Favorite new hero is Hayda, as she rocks in a duo with Morgahn. all time favorite is Olias, which is my usual MM.

Other ones I like to take with me, are Gwen, Dunk, and Vekk.

My fav hero is Sousuke. His n00bery reminds me of my early GW days. My least fav is General Morgahn because I've never found a reason to use him. He's an old man. He should be in a little cottage in the Issur Isles, fishing and just enjoying life.

My fav boss is Cobble Poundstone. I just love his name. I lol'ed for 5 mins after I first fought him. My least favorite boss is Maw the Mountain Heart. I just gave up trying to get to him. 3,000 Balth faction + Necro Elite Tome=less money but more worthwhile in the end.

Favorite Hero: Talhkora. Best Protection monk ever. I give her any build, she knows exactly what do with it.

Least Favorite Hero: Zhed Shadowhoof. Idiot Centaur, no idea how to work spell chaining, and has a snooty attitude -.-


Favorite Boss: Tough one. I'd have to Say Duncan and Frostmaw, just because their chests are so nice.

Least Favorite Boss: All the bosses in Snake Dance, for their lack of greens, and in some cases, lack of elites. There was no point in making them bosses. The only good places in Tyria to cap are Mineral Springs and The Ring of Fire. Most other elites that are only found in Tyria are garbage to the normal build. (Unless you're going for skill hunter)

My fauorite is not hero or enemy, its henchman:

Herta

* Her build pwns 90% of builds used by reall players. Her performance pwns 95% percent of them.
* She is actually only hench that was good enough that didnt need to be upgraded unlike other EOTN henchies.
* Shes hot.
* She has cool quotes:

- "Can't we all just get along? It's not that I'm a pacifist. I'm just dreadfully lazy."
- "I volunteered to help. Remind me to read the fine print next time."
- "No, don't heal me, just let me die. I'm halfway there already so it would be a shame to waste the effort."
- "Yup. You tried to hit me, and failed miserably. The lesson here is: never try."
- "You know, this hero stuff isn't that bad after all. Some would even say it builds character."
- ""Join the Sunspears," they said. "See exotic lands, meet new and interesting people... and kill them." That's what sold me."

Fave Heroes

Olias - Makes a damn good MM. I find him to be better than the other Necro Heroes.

Norgu - He rocks the domination line like no other. Interrupts like mad, has all the tools. Love this Hero.

Hated Heroes

Zenmai - She can't chain attack skills at all. Thinks she is Koss

Ogden - Must be related to Mhenlo - Has the same suicidal tendencies...

Hated Boss

Josinq the Whisperer - Monk Boss - Resplendent Makuun. This boss has got to be the most frustrating in the damn game. He cost me multiple vanquish runs in the same location. He isnt so hard but that damn group that surrounds him is next to impossible unless your build is tailored specifically for that group. 3 monks, paragon, Warriors and a Monk Boss = exercise in frustration.

"My ex used to spell my name H-U-R-T-A. Guess Why."
"I've killed more men than I've dated. Is that a character flaw?"

My fave heros:
Jin - shes just <3
Koss - Makes me think of Afro Samurai ^_^
Pyre - FUZZY

Least fave heros:
Ogden - I duno...hes just not very fun
Melonni - I just dont like how they made her character design

Herta is cool. Except that outfit of hers. That's Hot.

Of the heroes, I guess I like all of the warrior heroes but I guess Jora is my favorite. I use melonni quite a bit and off and on I like to have Jin and maybe Margrid with me. I like zenmai so long as I have the right build on her. Talkora is my favorite monk hero. I've been using Gwen a lot more than I used Norgu.

The only ones I really don't like or want in my party are the necros. Never got Olias or Master, going to be mad at having to get livia (a waste of space on my hero list IMO).

I like Shiro too. Sure, he has the voice of a lobotomized frigtard, but he looks pretty badass. When it first came out the Factions cinematic was so good it hurt.

Margrid is probably my favourite hero.

Homer Simpson quotes FTW

Fav Hero: A tie between my wingman Koss and Master of Wispers, for his quote "There are a million ways to kill a man. This is number 362."

Least Fav Hero: I love his name, but Zhed is a real jerk.

Fav Boss: He's not a "Boss" in the sense of the aura and capping a skill, but I just love the Abbadon mission. Killing him is a lot of fun.

Least Fav Boss: Cyndr. Cyndr!! I will curse his name till my last breath.

Favorite Hero - Koss, he is funny and that ,,This moves always impresses Melonni'' is so.. Erotic?
Least favorite hero - Tie between Zhed and Vekk. Zhed aggroes monsters like a mad man, while Vekk can't manage energy with 2 attunements...

Favorite Boss - Black Beast of Augh, what else can I say? ;d
Least favorite Boss - Willa the Unpleasant, super-hard to kill without daze/anti-caster mesmer.

Favorite hench - Herta and her battle quotes. Favorite one: "Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try."
Least favorite hench - Claude, even if he is almost same as Eve, she doesn't use BR when being attacked by 3 melee sword monsters + bleeding. Besides, Eve > Claude.

I'd have to say my most favorite boss is Kanaxai, He's very strong, takes a good team to get him down, and he just looks totally awesome.

Least favorite boss, It's hard to say honestly, Perhaps Molotov Rocktail.. Just cause a recent annoying encounter.

As for my favorite and least favorite heroes, I would have to say:

Razah is my favorite, He just looks really neat, and I love all the help he is with the spirits.

Least favorite Hero, would have to be Goren.. and if i could pick a second, Koss. Those two just make me shiver with their fuglyness.
