I know a lot of people hench in Elona so I was just wondering which hench you normally use?

Implied that you bring 3 heroes with you so that leaves room for four hench.

Generally, I bring the Motivation, Khim/Mhenlo (I like to leave my heroes for damage), Cynn, and Devona. I'd prefer to have the brawler over Cynn, but unfortunately the brawler doesn't show up anymore.

Henchie selection is kind of lame though, but I guess since you have heroes, you don't need that many different henchies to select from.

I work Norgu and Zenmai in sometimes. Koss rarely. Morgahn and Rangers sometimes. Wish I could use them all.

I always try to bring Khim, Odurra, and Herta along whenever possible. They have the best lines of any henchmen (even beating out Cynn and Lukas, which I never would have thought).

As for others, I usually take Sologon, since most of my characters don't have a Paragon hero, and his buffs can be handy, and of course Mhenlo when I need a second monk. Whenever I'm on Istan I try to take the warrior hench (name?), her lines are great as well. "Well, if I screw up it's not like you'll be able to yell at me."

Hmm, Henchmen are usually Cynn, Eve and Mhenlo (or as I call him, Mhenlo the Noob). The 4th usually changes depending on which heroes I'm required to bring on the quest / mission.

As for Heroes I usually take Koss, and Dunkoro also. The third depends on the situation. If I want interrupts I'll take Margrid or Norgu, the tubby little bundle of fun that he is, often I will take Sousuke and sometimes Olias (to use as MM)

Talking about lines...I just love Sousuke's "That blew up good. That blew up REAL good!"

As long as I have my buddies, Mhenlo and Cynn, it's all good. I also bring Kihm and the Illusion hench when I'm playing a melee character.

Goren- W/P some sort of Shouting warrior. works kinda well. (he use hammer)
Morghan, Jin or Zenmai- in mission i solo i usually bring morghan. otherwise jin or Zenmai if i rly feel like having a sin with me.

Khim
Mhenlo
Devona
Th dervish or Cynn- depends on the region.

Unless i'm levelling their pets and unless a quest/mission needs a specific hero it's

Koss... chopping duties n pet stuff
Jin... barrage, interupts, pet stuff
Melonni... apply poison, bleeding and deep wound.. and pet stuff.

Khim
Mhenlo
Sogolon
Herta

4 level 20 pets even at only 4-5 beast mastery adds a lot of damage. with call of haste and call of protection added as well.

Me (Monk) - depends on situation, usually prot

Heroes:

Olias (MM) - when im lazy
Zenmai (Temple Strike) - when i know ill face an evil caster boss
Jin and/or Margrid (Magebane interrupt) - same reason as Zenmai (two if its total emergency and i dunno how to kill it, one goes Broad head, the other Magebane if so)
Zhed + Sosouke (Searing Flames) - pure damage
Rest: no use

Hench:

Holy Hench (dont like Devona; she healsigs too much while under pressure)
Fire Hench
Healer Hench - depends on the situation, if i go active prot or smite
Prot Hench - depends on the situation, if i go active prot or smite
Illusion Hench - must must

Rest: no use

(sometimes i actually kick both Monk henchies and go with my solo healing and just take the Earth Hench along with Eve, but that only works in easy areas [anything before desolation usually], and if im not lazy/in a horrible mood)

My heros only play their primaries. Don't like Dunkoro (we just never hit it off ) but Tahlkora is fun. Zhed tends to get in my way a lot, but he tries, you know? The assassin hero - omg, what was Anet thinking! She is as useless as tits on a boar! Jin -- now Jin I really like. Arid sense of humor I can relate with and damned fine ranger, especially armed with Barrage from the outset.

Henches (the usual line-up, subject to constant change as the situation or mood warrants):
Devona for her knockdowns (which is funny since I had little use for her in either of the first chapters).

Been trying Odurra but am not sure if she's really all that good (yes, I know mesmer-craft is a silent but deadly one).

Kihm is a good healer -- superbly better than her Tyrian or Canthan 'sisters'. At least she passed her classes at Monk University!

Sogolon - well, I just like to watch angel-boy's wings unfurl.
