The new Hero

I wanted to bring attention to this matter and i want to hear peeps opinions on gaining another Hero. Like Pve only skills which are totally h4x this new hero will be pve only and likely to be very useful in hard mode environments. What i want to know is has Anet gone to far in separating the pvp from the pve or are you all for this new hero? Anet has already recently separated the two 'worlds' by making many skills a pve and pvp version. So have they gone to far? i want to know your opinions.

Personally i am all for it it generally surprised me when there was not a Golem Asuran hero he one could fit into the story line perfectly. Making him pve only however is a different matter Anet has indeed made great changes from the two 'worlds' this is not necessarily a bad thing only it kinda pisses me off when my lightning orbs don't crack armor anymore of course if you read the wiki info it mentions him only being excluded from pvp due to his large size despite this a large body blocking hero in pve could be used to great advantage i myself use dervs to manage agro this guy has a key advantage over the other heroes so it is understandable why he is not in pvp . In which case Im all for the pve pvp separation

Since it's a logical reason of giving an advantage in PvP through blocking vision, and not because it's going to be super powerful, I don't think this really matters in the separating of the two 'worlds.'

Not many people even use Dervish primary heroes outside of Arcane Orders and in HB for various capping builds.

Thats very true yet somehow i believe every PuG is gonna be using him


Hell i will! yet in my defense i do use derv's a reasonable amount

Scythe mark of pain = boom

Thankie for contributing ^.^ yes i guessed there would be but hey feel free to close mods if you feel it must.

Already big thread bought this

lol dervish heroes
nobody uses those

as for the size problem im sure they could have scaled the model down a bit to regular npc dimensions

it might have been impressive if say he had variable primary profession or some other unique feature

in the end thou its just another skin, regular hero like all the rest, and after sept 4th noone will use it

Well I'm looking forward to this:

Melee AI is pathetic and Derv heroes serve little use, I'm guessing people will use him to see his unique avatar forms and then forget about it.

I wish MOX was identical to those golems you get in the second to last GWEN mission. He's pve only after all

And otherwise i just use him as an ele.

I'm personally all for this hero being PvE only. It's not as if PvP players are starved for choice, and I'm sure most PvPers will agree that it is better to have it PvE than to add the advantage of seeing it's rather unique forms and have his huge size act as hindrance.

I am really looking forward to seeing his unique god forms. Can't wait for him to be added.

Well MOX will be checked out of course.... need to see how he can handle things and who knows there may be some good builds out there.... melee tank literally.... lol...

lolfail, all the pugs are gonna use Avvy of Balthazar. Great.

"But he has +armor and look how big he is!!!!1"

So instead of fixing the screwed AI of the heroes, we get a new hero. Awesome.

WHy? Because dervish heroes are really popular right now? No i don't think so.
Its a dervish, it has no special ablility or anything, just another one like we already have. Why is everyone suddenly going to be using it? On all my characters my melonni's have the skills they started with and I use them to hold extra weapons I cant fit in storage.

Meh... I'll do the quest or whatever to get it on my main for something to do. Then I'll let it sit in the cyber-closet like so many other heroes that I don't use.

I am kinda hoping it will have something special. Ability to use 1 pve skill or perhaps be able to maintain an infinite form. Otherwise I wish it would of had a variable profession. I really don't use dervish/ melee heroes for anything any more. They just run around like headless chickens when i'm constantly targeting different enemies.

Hehe, another one for the collection :P !

They COULD give us a useful hero like a Paragon or a Ritualist...

But no, instead they are giving us a THIRD dervish hero that nobody will use. I mean, come on, I think only one my character has Kahmu and that's Mesmer... The only situation I can think of when I will use MOX is if my Melonni is under 15. Level.

Oh wait I know a use for it! I can't believe I didn't think of it. It is going to be my third hero needed for my hfff kurzick side. Shadow form, pious haste, dash= permanent speed boost. Hooray now my shores runner will get there even quicker lol.

Triple d/a with dash and pious haste ftw.

Would rather have more weapon skins or something. Yay for useless heroes!

PvE only skills
PvE only heroes
...
PvE only weapons

It's gonna happen.
