Talk:Herta

She's great to have along

I really like her attitude...it is refreshing after listening to Melonni and Sogolon a lot, and she's great to have along too.Nicky Silverstar 07:05, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

You didn't bring her along on anything at all in Nightfall? -- ab.er.rant 07:25, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

He might be talking about Nightfall for all we know. --- Raptors

I never use Melonni unless I have to, if that is what you mean. And as an Earth Elementalist, I often lack reason to bring Herta. But I like it when she's around. Nicky Silverstar 09:21, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

I love this henchman :p. Limu Tolkki 01:41, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Huge boobs help a lot in the liking of this henchy. Also very usefeul :D --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:87.23.202.143 (talk).

Sandstorm

This causes fleeing, so other than Magnetic Surge on recharge and stone dagger spam she's really not that great damage-wise. The only thing that saves her from being in the outpost is the wards (which she often misuses). --Life Infusion «T» 15:03, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Magnetic Surge actually makes her quite useful against all those highly armored foes in Eye of the North...especially in hard mode. And don't forget the mobs of minions that get clobbered by Sandstorm. I'd say she's way better than Cynn in most cases. 145.94.74.23 14:58, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes but don't tell Cynn that (dumb girl still thinks Meteor Shower is good). 68.193.113.198

Work with her :) Bring KD or snaring skills on your char and try to use them when she uses her Sandstorm. -- ab.er.rant 02:27, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Lmao. Meteor Shower IS good. Mind Blast is terrible in pve, as monsters always have more energy than humans/henchmen/heroes. Replace Mind Blast with Searing Flames and all is well. Oh and get rid of fireball, it's a joke skill. 74.243.163.114 21:55, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Nope he's right Meteor Shower is terrible, it's casting time is too long as well as it's recharge and the overcast prevents it from being combined well with Glyph of Renewal. There are much more effective skills in Fire Magic to use in PvE than Meteor Shower. Mind Blast works just fine in PvE, it's energy gain triggers plenty of time, even in HM as long as you are not facing eles. Unless the build is fully designed around it Searing Flames is quite a hard skill for a hench or hero. Fireball has become a very good skill with the introduction of the 1.5 casting time and deals a respectable and unconditional ammount of damage without overcast. An allround skill usable in any situation against almost any type of foe. Da Mystic Reaper 22:55, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Yesterday's replies are to comments made on 2008... there is a 5 years gap which includes the Game_updates/20091022#Nightfall that changed her build. It was supposed to remove Stone Daggers but her page as of today...still has it? And why talk about Fire Magic when Herta is Earth Magic henchmen? Yoshida Keiji (talk) 03:25, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Good question. I was thinking about that myself and i have no idea tbh. Da Mystic Reaper 13:18, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

The Ip's comments were directed at the person who said cynn still thinks meteor shower is good. I think that was me, can't remember. The comment was merely about her build as a whole. Most people took her and not Herta, in their party, throughout nightfall. Before the 7 hero update, I took them both with me. Assuming that was me, I was just leaving my comments here like everyone else. I couldn't care less who does or doesnt reply to them. And it's been 4 years, not 5. Check the time stamps. 74.243.163.175 00:05, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Possible GW2 incarnation/fate

The Guild Wars 2 Wiki has an article on Herta.

There is a posthumous character of the same name in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns, though it is unclear if it is the same character beyond being a former human whose closest friend is another former elonian human. Should this be added to the page or is it too unclear? VectorSomething (talk) 07:09, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

In my personal opinion, after reading https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Herta I'd say it's too unclear to add the gw2g tag: Most of Herta's life as a human is unknown, though is possibly the Sunspear elementalist of the same name who aided the Hero of Nightfall in stopping Abaddon and later The Great Destroyer.

That'S speculation on the gw2 site ... Steve1 (talk) 08:10, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
