Because Nightfall was lacking a Necro / Warrior / Ritualist / Mesmer / Paragon with boobs.

Therefore Livia, Jora, Xandra, Gwen and Hayda were introduced.

The only class now lacking boobs (discounting Zenmai's flat chest) is Elementalist.... which is a shame. The Elementalist class compensates by having wacky races. ^_^;;

And new heroes got more distinctive look then NF ones. :P
And Gwen with Gwen's Flute or Rose rules!

By the way, did anyone check if Jora's bodyblock area is bigger then Koss' one?

malko050987 · Sep 06, 2007, 09:18 AM // 09:18

I don't use Koss so I don't know about the bodyblock thing, but just take Vekk along. He's under the impression he's a tank >.<

I think its great...more selection is always better.

This way I can set up heroes and leave them set a certain way. For example (and just an example) Talkora=Smite Dunk=Prot Ogden=Heal

Saves me from redoing them every outing.

Actually I think there's 3 heroes for every class except Dervish, Paragon, Ritualist, Assassin, and Mesmers.

There were Vekk, Sousuke, and Zhed for elementalists. Add a couple of elementalist henchies and you just made yourself a walking nuclear explosion! lol

Haha, Vekk is a bulletproof little blighter! I was on a bit of a charr-hunt last night, doing the final charr mission and some quests. I took Vekk and Sousuke as SF Eles. By the time I'd finished questing, Vekk was on +10%, and Sousuke was on -60dp! Apart from weapons, they were armed and armoured identically. It was quite amusing that one died horribly (repeatedly) while the other kicked serious amounts of Charr hide.

Roguey000 · Sep 06, 2007, 10:03 AM // 10:03

so we can load up with different skills?

That's probably because the Acolyte died first and since he was weaker the Charr targeted him instead of Vekk. I've noticed that the enemy in Eye of the North coordinate spikes much better, so there's a greater chance of a caster or monk getting picked off.

Longasc · Sep 06, 2007, 10:18 AM // 10:18

I gotta agree that a slutty female elementalist hero is definitely missing.

Vekk is such a shame, he is so small that he has problems wielding any staff out there.

I also miss a third Paragon, as they synergize so well with their own kind.

Cole Frehlen · Sep 06, 2007, 10:32 AM // 10:32

It probably didn't help that whenever I flagged my heroes and hench away from the enemy, Sousuke just couldn't resist running back over and firing off another spell... into a massive group of Charr led by the Hierophant himself! Stupid arrogant kid. I tell you, next time I'm taking Zhed!

My General Morgahn has same issues as your Sousuke ;(

Diablo™ · Sep 06, 2007, 10:43 AM // 10:43

Maybe it's just cuz Vekk doesn't have to duck when the arrows come flying... lol

I like to do that too but I'm running out of ideas for jobs for these people.

Koss = axe murderer. Been playing around with W/D for Goren but haven't finalised him. Jora became a Flailing Dragon swordsman.

Sousuke is of course Searing Flames. What to do with Zhed and Vekk???

Tahlkora is prot, Dunkoro is healer. Ogden Stonehealer? Hmm. I thought of smiting but I'm not convinced.

Olias is MM. Whispers is usually SS but I've tried him as BiP and other stuff as well, so when I get the new necro I guess I can specialise them more. Lots of necro jobs.

Jin is Fire Barrage and Margrid alternates between Ebon Dust, interrupt and splinter barrage so I guess there's room for that Charr guy when I get him. Though I take three splinter barrage into FoW with me.

I've never really used Norgu and now I have Gwen as well. But I have a mesmer character now so perhaps that will give me more ideas. Norgu has a Psychic Distraction Build.

Zenmai I usually run as a critical barrage. She dies too much otherwise. Though I have new builds on my assassin I guess I could try out on the AI to see how it goes.

Melonni has an avatar of Melandru build, not sure yet what to do with the new guy.

And Morgahn. I've never really understood Morgahn.

What's everyone else doing?

This build synergizes nicely with Searing Flames if you bring them both (after some battles I look at both elementalists' energy and they're full!):

[skill]Mind Blast[/skill][skill]Mark of Rodgort[/skill][skill]Fireball[/skill][skill]Liquid Flame[/skill][skill]Glyph of Lesser Energy[/skill][skill]Fire Attunement[/skill][skill]Aura of Restoration[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

I also like to take Zhed & Vekk, since they don't spread disease.

Quote:

He runs this build fine (got it off of pvxwiki, although it suggested ballad of restoration rather than aria of restoration, but I don't have ballad unlocked):
[skill]Signet of Synergy[/skill][skill]Spear of Lightning[/skill][skill]Song of Restoration[/skill][skill]Aria of Restoration[/skill][skill]Aria of Zeal[/skill][skill]"Watch Yourself!"[/skill][skill]"Shields Up!"[/skill][skill]Signet of Return[/skill]

Not a big damage dealer, but could probably stand in for a protection monk.
