See, I like that idea.
Not due to PUGs but mainly as heroes work better for me then henchies and I can better equip my heroes item and skill wise.

Zhed has a nice 40% HCT 40% HSR wand a focus set

which only cost me 10k hehe

Still it would be nice to be allowed more heroes at once, it might take longer to set up but at least you know what they're doing

20x1,2=24 HCT and 20x1,2=24 HSR :P collector stuff = 2k

Mesmer - Gwen(?)
Necromancer - Livia(?)

I think we'll meet Jora rather quickly, as she's the promotional character. Maybe even before Ogden.

I had no idea the Necro had been named, until I saw this http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Livia

A Shining Blade Necro? I wonder how she and Olias get along... (Olias is ex-White Mantle, right?).

Off Topic - It's very strange going through Kryta again and knowing the White Mantle are evil. Actually, it makes you wonder if King King Adelbern was right not to trust them...

EDIT: Fixed erroneous Shining Spear references...

Actually Olias I thought was ex-White Mantle. And yeah she was described in some hero thing on some website. The others there included some Asura, King Jalis Ironhammer, and the Golems. So she isnt "confirmed" as a hero I dont think but Id still bet on it.

In retrospect, he was, albeit he did it for the wrong reasons...

They're going to have to find a better way of organizing heroes for us to manage better.

Yes we will be getting lots of new heroes in GW:EN even though I wish that they would give us the ability to put more heroes in our party.... but thats besides the point. as for stocking them up, use the pre order weapons

. Hourglass staff works like a charm.

See we have another who wants to add more heroes to their party. I enjoy a good team as much as the next guy but sometimes it's very rewarding to beat the thing yourself. Just you and the heroes you command !

I would have to agree on one other comment in the thread as well in that we will have many to pick from and it seems like it's just a way of ANET saying here is your choices pick the ones you like and the look your going after.

I don't agree with people who say they would prefer less heroes. If you have the funds to rune heroes up, it's a pain if you need them to do a job other than that which you've originally set them up to do. For instance, if you only have Olias and set him up as MM...then decide you need an SS necro...unless you went to the trouble of runing him up all over again you're missing out on potential damage.

Multiple heroes means you can set them up with different builds...for instance, all my Dunkoros are healers, all Tahlkoras are protectors. Ogden Stonehealer will be my new kick-ass noob-smiting monk!

If we get a 3rd necro I can have a Death, Curses and Blood necro. If we get a 2nd Rit I can have a Spirit Spammer and a Channeler. Then there will be no need to switch builds from time to time.

Also to those people who worry about kitting them out with weapons, the bonus pack items are fantastic for that job...if you have it that is.

What's the max party size gonna be anyway? If it still 8 then I have no problem with just 3 heroes. I always have someone to team up so 1-3 heroes each will be just fine. Would be nice if you can have 7 heroes tho, as many player would rather go alone anyway.

And make the PvE aspect even easier? All that would do is make 'Normal Mode' 'Easy Mode', 'Hard Mode' becomes 'Small Challenge Mode' and the Ascalon Heroes will spend all their time lounging around in the outposts getting fat because everyone is taking Koss/Tahlkora/Zhed/Margrid/Olias

He's such a moron, I wish he was killed fighting the Titans. I mean using a FDS against them?

Outfitting heroes: Don't forget collector weapons.
