I've heard that dunkoro is internally programmed to heal, whereas tahlkora is programmed to prot. can anybody confirm this?

also for MoW and olias, what are their programmed attributes (too lazy to check on starting skills...) or do they not have them?

goren/koss?

jin/margrid

also, has anybody tried using dunkoro as prot and tahlkora as heal and seen some stupid decisions made by either?

My Talhkora was set as a healer from the very first day. Never had any problems with the way she heals

I don't really notice a difference between the two necros when I've traded builds back and forth, they seem to be identical. I've seen the same thing for the monks, they're interchangeable as far as I can tell.

Well, I haven't had much success with Master of Whispers as a MM. Olias just seems so much better and they are running the same build when I go with two MMs. I generally use MoW on a SS build.
Some say there is no difference. I think there is. I don't think Talhk is as effective healing as Dunk is either on the same build, but really, you should be using Henchies for healing and leave heroes for damage dealing.

I know Koss comes equipped and set for axe and Goren for hammer but use these too infrequently to know if it matters. Koss seemed ok when I used a sword build on him.

I'm fairly certain that all hero's are NOT programmed to be good at certain skills. Yes of course their main profession allows them to play that profession more efficiently. However, their actual programming i believe is all inherently the same basic Ai that are created with enough intuition to use any skill they are given.

Meaning both monks will heal or prot as well as the other, both necros will MM or SS as well as the other, etc and etc and so on. If there were actual pre-determined programmed preferences that the hero Ai's observed i am quite sure Anet would have made such aspects very obvious, which such difference are currently complete conjecture.

So again, with all heroes utilizing the same basic Ai code, i am sure they ONLY differences are their primary professions and the proficiency that their primary attributes allow them to perform.

Again, not concrete or fact. But more of an intelligent guess. I so very doubt that Dunkhoro is inherently better at healing then Tahlkora...

cheers.
