Who is the greatest hireling?

[Rusty_helmet]

I feel like we should do a poll on this, just list 'em all (include permanent hirelings?) and give people a month to vote.

Winner of the poll gives every player a permanent version of them 1/account.

 

[Brac]

I assumed when I clicked the answer was obvious. It is Flower. Flower is the best hireling. I use Flower to tank R10's.

If you guys think Larafay is a beast you obviously never ran the level 8 fs hire with holy smite-to.

Yeah, she's the one that turned me into her hireling!

 

[Claver]

You are all wrong.

FRENZY!

When he used to attack boxes with reckless abandon - cleave 2 or 3 at a time.

How I miss being able to delegate that tasks.

Hunter of Boxes just doesn't compare

 

[HighLordPudding]

I learned how to manage my Mana from Larafay Do'rret. She is my hero

Tankiest: Scarecrow.
General utility: Shield Golem
Healz: Rana
More squishy than a level 32 Wyoh: Darling
Worse than Coyle: Feywild Muse

Elieri is awesome for any caster playing early heroic quests. If you have the gold seal version, every 5 minutes you can summon an sp battery.

 

[Xgya]

I'm torn.
One one side, there's always-there, always-reliable Byron (and his closest aide, Elieri).
On the other, there's Destruction Queen Larafay.

You could probably have also changed the title of the thread to, "Guess Which Hireling That's Still Actually Useful Will be Nerfed Next".

That's what occurred to me as I looked through the list of hirelings people named and realized that many of them have been nerfed decently hard at some point in the past few years.

Am the only one who quotes Thumper when Flower appears.

 

[ShotCaller]

Larafay Do'rret. She'll dump all her spellpoints on destructions and cometfalls, outkilling most party members.

Nuke first, ask questions later. That's my girl.

 

[Hogradth]

Hands down, Teal.
Even at only a lv7 he was dishing damage, drawing aggro, and staying alive. It wasn't until we started hitting lv15-16 that he became noticeably ineffective

 

[Fauxknight]

Rana or Froggo.

Rana heals, rezzes, and stays out of trouble.

Level 3 Froggo traps well above his level.

I had Froggo getting the traps in R1 Jungle of Khyber this morning. I do have 2 Druid PLs, Augment Summoning on the Ravenloft necklace, and cast Greater Heroism from a clickie. With the support, he hits way above his weight class.

I use Erytheia Sundawn more often than any other hire.
