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?

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!

Sabway for every place

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.

exploiter · Apr 19, 2009, 08:49 PM // 20:49

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

Eragon Zarroc · Apr 19, 2009, 08:55 PM // 20:55

discordway or sabway

Revelations · Apr 19, 2009, 09:02 PM // 21:02

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.
