MoP Hero team questions

1. Your build is fine, but a couple of notes:
* Rigor is not needed throughout most of the game. Most of the time that should be a free slot.
* In much of the game, technobbable pays off more than BuH.

2. Nix the UA monk. First, defensive hero builds have zero synergy with AP-MoP. Zero. The only reason to bring one is that the henchmonks simply can't keep you alive. Second, if you do need to bring a defensive hero to stay alive (which happens quite a bit), ER ele heroes far outperform the monk heroes.

3. Minion-bomber should be an obvious choice. I would not consider it optional. I'm still rather lukewarm towards the "comminion-bomber" thing, but I guess if it works for you...

4. Nix the mesmer for a BHA ranger. Rangers interrupt *and* trigger MoP/Barbs at range. Mesmers merely interrupt. Recently I've been running a pet on my hero ranger for scavenger strike and extra physical hits. of course, there's quite a few areas where you don't need serious interruption at all.

5. HB warrior should be optional (and rarely used). Hero melee AI just isn't quick enough to hit what you want hit when you want it hit. Plus, no Whirlwind Attack for heroes makes me sad. In terms of tweaking the build, I'm not sure if sever/gash adds enough to justify 2 slots considering you're just going to "Finish Him" things anyway.

6. As others have mentioned, paragons make excellent fallback choices if you've got a hero slot open.

7. As has been discussed at great, long, disgusting length before, discordway is a terrible idea for a AP-MoP build. In addition to being mediocre to start with, discordway has a really bad anti-synergy with MoP. (Killing the MoP-ed target with a large proportion of non-physical damage isn't smart people!) If anyone would care for more explanation (or would like to post an impassioned but idiotic defense of discordway), please use search and post in that thread. Rigor should always be on your bar, in almost every area there is atleast one thing that will have a block, it's just safer to always bring it.

By Ulral's Hammer is an amazing skill. Come on, Constant +25% Damage? If anything should be changed for Technobabble it should be Finish Him. I use Mindbender instead.

Now assuming you're doing something with Henchies and Heroes, I would tend to run;

1x Command paragon, with your average shouts and AR.
1x ER Prot spammer.
1x Orders/MM. (I run OoU on my Livia and she copes fine with it.) I prefer running an MM with my MoP because the minions deal more AoE damage than Death Nova. And more constantly.

If I don't need the ele hero, I would take either another Paragon OR a Ranger with a pet; for slightly more activation.

Hope that helps.

Edit: And try not to listen to the people saying MoP works wonders with Discordway, because you want to get the most out of your hexes. Build around Mark of Pain, not Discord. Physical team, bring the 2x Warrior heroes, 1x ranger (make sure it doesn't use Kindle Arrows) and 1x healer hench. (if using your own prot monk.)
