 * Water Shatterstone Hexer; Equipment - Survivor insignia on all 5 pieces, minor water magic on head, minor energy storage on feet, rune of vigor on hands, runes of vitae on chest and legs. Hale Water Magic or Energy storage staff of fortitude. I wouldn't bother with the points in Restoration. Just stick in a res signet and call it a day. You can also substitute Ward Against Harm as the elite.
 * Earth Sandstorm Warder; Equipment - Survivor insignia on all 5 pieces, minor earth magic on head, minor energy storage on feet, rune of vigor on hands, runes of vitae on chest and legs. Hale Earth Magic or Energy storage staff of fortitude.

 * Word of Healing Hybrid; Equipment - Survivor insignia on all 5 pieces, rune of minor healing prayers on head, rune of minor protection prayers on chest, rune of minor divine favor on feet, rune of vigor on hands, rune of vitae on legs.

Necromancer
(Olias, Livia, Master of Whispers)
 * N/Rt Signet of Lost Souls Healer (Weapon of Remedy and Weapon of Warding work nicely as the optionals); Equipment - Survivor insignia on all 5 pieces, minor soul reaping on head, rune of vigor on hands, runes of vitae on chest, legs, and feet. Hale staff of fortitude (either Soul Reaping or Restoration Magic)

Hale Death Magic Staff of Mastery or Death Magic.
 * And for when you get all three Necros: Team build - Sabway. Necros get bonus energy from Soul Reaping whenever something dies in their vicinity, so the minion bomber acts as a battery for the other two (dying minions count). That, and the minions with Death Nova on them do a ton of damage when they're killed.

 * (Assassin and Ritualist heroes aren't very useful in my opinion, so I didn't include them)

RoJ Heroway

 * Lacking a bit in healing, so it's a good idea to bring along a monk Henchman like Mhenlo, although Dwayna's Sorrow should provide some decent healing as the minions die. A protection henchman like Lina wouldn't be a bad idea either.
 * Also, it's usually a good idea to disable your heroes' resurrection skills so they're not wasting time rezzing during fights. Resurrection Signet and Rebirth have 3 and 5 second casting times respectively, and waste time that the heroes could be spending killing stuff.

Curses Support

 * ,, or
 * or a hard res skill like
 * The combo of Foul Feast and Plague Sending gives nice condition removal with the added bonus that the conditions are spread to your foes.

Minion Bomber

 * for extra energy management.
 * or a hard res skill like
 * The hero will usually try to maintain Death Nova on the minions, providing some nice explosions when they're killed.

Healing Support

 * Alternatively, you could rearrange the skill points a bit, and go with something like this:


 * or for the optional.


 * A Monk hero could also be subbed. Probably your best bet for now, sice you don't have Master of Whispers yet.

Kate Burning Stuff

 * and are good candidates for the optionals. Glowing Gaze is especially useful since it gives you some energy back if your target is burning (which is a good bet :D).
 * You could also take and use it in a combo with RoJ. 4 points in Air Magic would let you spam the RoJ/Glowing Gaze combo even faster. Stringing together Glyph of Lesser Energy, Glyph of Swiftness, Ray of Judgment and Glowing Gaze in that order would cost you exactly 1 energy. And 25% more beams!
