Warriors

Somehow I dislike melee heroes and there are no exceptions for warriors.

Description	Goren	Koss	Jora
Template	OQYTs0IS5pvEYIfTN+a78ZcVAA	OQASEZJP/VDLfVqAV601xrC	OQcSE5JPFFDLfdsAWKLMwrC
Equipment	Destroyer Sword & Destroyer Shield	Kanaxai's Axe & Shield of the Lion	Destroyer Hammer
Information	485 hitpoints. Icy sword hilt. Blessed-Insignias, Runes of Major Sword Mastery (headpiece), Minor Strength, Clarity, Vitae (1x) and Sup Absorption.	480 hitpoints. Brawler's-Insignias, Runes of Major Axe Mastery (headpiece), Major Strength, Clarity, Vitae (1x) and Sup Absorption.	485 hitpoints. Knight's-Insignias (4x) and Stonefist-Insignia (1x), Runes of Major Hammer Mastery (headpiece), Minor Strength, Clarity, Vitae (1x) and Sup Absorption.
Notes	He deals good damage, has a high survivability and can not be set on fire.	Fair damage output, but somehow nothing special. Sort of a standard axe warrior.	Devastating on a single target due to shutting it down while also dealing high damage.

Rangers

I like these huntsmen. Their high armor vs elemental damage is well received.

Template	Ogoicxp80cZuO3z9AG1IAEOA	OgUTcZ8kZyV6x4L0J4W7SUAQ4AA	OggkctZaYIq0ixjxXYFIGDmTylwB
Equipment	Destroyer Scythe	Destroyer Longbow	Forgotten Longbow
Information	580 hitpoints. Zealous scythe snathe. Brawler's-Insignias, Runes of Minor Expertise (headpiece), Clarity, Vitae (2x) and Sup Vigor.	575 hitpoints. Silencing bowstring. Survivor-Insignias, Runes of Major Marksmanship (headpiece), Minor Expertise, Clarity, Vitae (1x) and Sup Vigor.	575 hitpoints. Survivor-Insignias, Runes of Major Marksmanship (headpiece), Minor Expertise, Clarity, Vitae (1x) and Sup Vigor.
Notes	Good aoe damage, good defence vs combat classes and high armor vs elemental damage, an excellent pve frontliner.	Broad Head Arrow is marvelous! Mass conditions due to ♥ Epidemic. Very useful and solid hero-template.	He prefers to cast Splinter Weapon on allies. To solve this problem it's best to have more than one char carrying Splinter.

Monks

Since I am monk myself, most of the time I am using a hench- instead of a heromonk, because
I think a hench healer does a far better job than a warrior/ranger/ele/necro henchman would do.

Description	Tahlkora	Dunkoro	Ogden Stonehealer
Template	OwcU0wHD1vM2Dby3LMWQur1jZCA	Owgj4sQqoOuVqvLBvaS8mYsqPA	OwAS0YITbExV2ENgTfOgSEvT
Equipment	Jayne's Staff	Greater Guardian Spear & Forgotten Shield	The Scar Eater
Information	570 hitpoints. Anchorite's-Insignias, Runes of Minor Protection Prayers (headpiece), Minor Divine Favor, Minor Healing Prayers, Vitae (1x) and Sup Vigor.	595 hitpoints. Survivor-Insignias, Runes of Major Smiting Prayers (headpiece), Vitae (3x) and Sup Vigor.	565 hitpoints. Blessed-Insignias, Runes of Major Healing Prayers (headpiece), Minor Divine Favor, Recovery, Vitae (1x) and Sup Vigor.
Notes	She can swap Shield of Regeneration with Restore Condition or with Shield of Deflection.	Never leave an outpost without Splinter Weapon. The smiting is particularly useful vs. undeads.	Very good at healing, but you still need some prots from other partymembers if going hunting in HM.

Elementalists

These magicians are really mightful. Be sure only to bid them, if their abilities are suited for the imminent dangers.

Description	Acolyte Sousuke	Zhed Shadowhoof	Vekk
Template	OgVEIyYKz7gMobNtxKuoHAMyBA	OgVDM2y8SXDvDrDQiID9AqDQDA	OgVCgMzC34ElTYjMhDpQLA
Equipment	Destroyer Scepter & Destroyer Focus	Elsnil's Frigidheart	Dolyak Prod Staff
Information	545 hitpoints. Pyromancer Insignias, Runes of Major Fire Magic (headpiece), Recovery, Vitae (2x) and Sup Vigor.	575 hitpoints. Pyromancer Insignias, Runes of Major Water Magic (headpiece), Recovery, Vitae (2x) and Sup Vigor.	550 hitpoints (45^ench). Pyromancer Insignias, Runes of Major Air Magic (headpiece), Minor Energy Storage, Recovery, Vitae (1x) and Sup Vigor.
Notes	Good aoe damage when used by two heroes at the same time, one alone won't be as effective. Meteor Shower can be micro-managed for a better effect.	Zhed's not dead, baby! Infact he's a godsend when fighting Destroyers or Charrs! Maelstrom can be micro-managed for a better effect.	Good single target damage plus major support by spreading all conditions your party is able to cause to all enemies. I ♥ Epidemic!

Necromancers

You gotta love a powerful sorcerer with endless energy supply (Soul Reaping), which makes them very versatile.

Description	Master of Whispers	Olias	Livia
Template	OAhjUwGZYSoBVBKgLVTOEPVVDTA	OAhjYkHcYO7O7gQLPM5IeV1hJA	OAhjYshqoSUbjTRT1MTOEPJgDTA
Equipment	Draconic Spear & Shield of the Wing	Deldrimor Spear & Deldrimor Shield	Destroyer Spear & Asuran Shield
Information	555 hitpoints. Radiant- (2x(chest+leg)), Survivor- (2x), Bloodstained-Insignias (1x), Runes of Major Death Magic (headpiece), Minor Soul Reaping, Vitae (2x) and Sup Vigor.	560 hitpoints. Radiant- (2x(chest+leg)), Survivor-Insignias (3x), Runes of Major Curses (headpiece), Minor Soul Reaping, Vitae (2x) and Sup Vigor.	575 hitpoints. Radiant- (2x(chest+leg)), Survivor-Insignias (3x), Runes of Minor Soul Reaping (headpiece), Restoration, Purity, Recovery and Sup Vigor.
Notes	If the upcoming task leaves corpses, chose him. Don't ask questions, just chose him. The minions not only take out so much damage, they also dish out a lot (when blowing up). If your party lacks spirits consider swaping Spirit Light for Mend Body and Soul.	Spiteful Spirit does the most armor-ignoring aoe damage in gw; best skill for pve. Optional: Barbs, Mark of Pain, Rip Enchantment or Well of Silence. If your party lacks spirits consider swaping Spirit Light for Mend Body and Soul.	Recovery will trigger twice together with Foul Feast. Therefor and due to the runes all transfered conditions will only last a few seconds. Having a MinionMaster will make sure she has enough energy.

Mesmers

Mesmers can greatly reduce the incoming damage by interrupting the actions of foes.

Description	Norgu	Gwen
Template	OQhkAwCyAGqTGoBM6IC5goZydYC	OQNDATwNPgA5hQNkgPyHnk7G
Equipment	Solemn Spear & Warlord Shield	Destroyer Axe & Rose Focus
Information	580 hitpoints. Wonder-Insignias. Runes of Minor Fast Casting (headpiece), Minor Inspiration Magic, Vitae (2x) and Sup Vigor.	575 hitpoints. Survivor-Insignias. Runes of Superior Illusion Magic (headpiece), Minor Fast Casting, Vitae (2x) and Sup Vigor.
Notes	Norgu the meatball, at least he's got savvy. His interrupts take out a lot of damage. He has excellent e-management and his high armor makes him hard to kill. The healing support is also very welcome.	Disable all skills except Signet of Rejuvenation and set her to "Avoid Combat". Cast the skills 1 to 6 on the "600hp-tank" and flag her outside of enemy aggro but still inside your radar radius. Do not remove the flag after the foes are dead, because she will run away outside the enchantment maintain radius. Instead flag her closer to you, then you can remove the flag.

Dervishes

Too bad hero dervishes have the disadvantage of not beeing able to use pve-only skills like Aura of Holy Might, which are really powerful.

Description	Melonni	Kahmu	M.O.X.
Template	OgGjkyrG7Ov3gCzt5CdF3EYBAA	OgSjQoqK7OeXDxk4+ifDvzhyLA	OgGjkyqDLPxXuPzt5GUI3jXxNA
Equipment	Soulbreaker	Denravi Sword & Fenrir's Bastion	Droknar's Reaper
Information	605 hitpoints. Survivor-Insignias, Runes of Minor Scythe Mastery (headpiece), Minor Mysticism, Clarity, Vitae (1x) and Sup Vigor.	435 hitpoints. Radiant-Insignias, Runes of Superior Mysticism (headpiece), Superior Wind Prayers, Attunement (2x) and Sup Vigor.	415 hitpoints. Windwalker-Insignias, Runes of Superior Mysticism (headpiece), Superior Scythe Mastery, Minor Wind Prayers, Vitae and Sup Vigor.
Notes	Avatar of Dwayna and Victorious Sweep provide good healing plus automatic hex remove. Very good damage and survivability!	Set him to "Avoid Combat" and make sure to set his flag to a place, where he will not get aggro. He obviously only makes sense, if your whole team consists of physical damage dealers.	M.O.X. is meant to dominate NM (since I don't have 2-3 Searing Flames heroes to rush through NM). If you want to use it in HM, be sure to only use a minor Scythe Mastery rune and be aware, that the dps will not be as high, since Avatar of Lyssa will not trigger as often.

Paragons

When enchantments or spells are handicapped, shouts and chants can be a solution.

Description	General Morgahn	Hayda
Template	OQejUqmK6O942dReB7jtwMQZMA	OQWlIMDSJeuoL5hxhtu5LGj1DkDIvB
Equipment	Courage of the Forgotten & Cyndr's Aegis	Guardian Spear & Kunan's Bastion
Information	565 hitpoints. Centurion's-Insignias, Runes of Major Spear Mastery (headpiece), Minor Command, Minor Leadership, Vitae (1x) and Sup Vigor.	570 hitpoints. Survivor-Insignias, Runes of Major Motivation (headpiece), Major Spear Mastery, Minor Leadership, Vitae (1x) and Sup Vigor.
Notes	Fairly good damage output and extremely valuable for your defense, when you play him together with 2 Searing Flames Elementalists.	She mainly fullfills a defensiv role by interrupting enemies and healing your whole party. Good choice, if you don't know whom to pick^^

Assassins

The AI imho doesn't do well with the concept of dagger attack chains; the one template is the only one I figured out to be effective.

Description	Zenmai	Anton
Template	OwJjkxfzITLGPGqG4a6PDQLiEQA	OwRjcMd8IPjByMCrhdw0fCAGIA
Equipment	Forgotten Longbow	Destroyer Daggers
Information	580 hitpoints. Nightstalker's-Insignias, Runes of Minor Critical Strikes (headpiece), Clarity, Vigor (2x) and Sup Vigor.	580 hitpoints. Zealous Bowstring. Saboteur's-Insignias, Runes of Minor Dagger Mastery (headpiece), Minor Critical Strikes, Vigor (2x) and Sup Vigor.
Notes	Make sure to support her with a weapon spell like Splinter Weapon or Great Dwarf Weapon. 68% chance to land a crit is quite sexy, ain't it?	He's really doing good (damage-wise), but imho he is just too fragile to be a good choice for HM trips.

Ritualists

They can carry out a lot of different tasks like protecting, healing, dmg-dealing, shutdown and more.

Description	Razah	Xandra
Template	OAKjgZgM5Ozzw5jz6ddQOETkLA	OAmlEGiF5WymElBispspgZh9glchjB
Equipment	Kaolin Wand & The Bison Cup	Turep's Spear & Iridescent Aegis
Information	585 hitpoints. Survivor-Insignias, Runes of Major Communing (headpiece), Minor Spawning Power, Vitae (2x) and Sup Vigor.	625 hitpoints (45^ench). Blessed-Insignias, Runes of Minor Spawning Power (headpiece), Minor Channeling, Vitae (2x) and Sup Vigor.
Notes	Cast Spirit's Gift, Serpent's Quickness, Attuned Was Songkai and finally Shelter manually before you charge a group of foes. The optional spot can be used for another Rt spirit of your choice or Frozen Soil.	Her damage output is A1 at Lloyd's! And the way she throws a spear somehow looks like a futuristic arachnoid war machine^^
