Hierophant Class Worth it?

[Oroy]

Hey guys, I recently started to play this game and I'm really liking it.

Is the Hierophant Class worth it? It looks fun but wanted to know if people still liked the class after several hours of playing it?

As a "minion master" class is purelly depends on personal preference.
For some it's the favourite class, for other it's the least favourite class. Most of customization comes not from the hero itself but from his "pets".

At least, lorewise, it's the only class that have something akin to Lord Inquisitor-al retinue. I always thought that it's strange how they never try to create a new one after their old dying in the first mission.

Is it worth it?
As a player that been around from the very start and even longer and having not only 100´s, but 1000´s of hrs of gameplay then I must say I have or feel no urge to have to play this Cjharacter. I would like to try it out, but I do not feel any kind of rush in having to do so.
Always nice with Characters, but a game like this, really needs after such a long time, so much more.

So I decided to to try it and it's great! You really feel like you're commanding a team and the fact that you can have 4 different build with your retinues is awesome!

Curious, does the retinue Crusader get anything with a shield?

He sure does, as well as Great Axes, Eviscerators and other weapons. Absolutely fill out the Retinue Tactics Skill Tree, there's good stuff in there (like, when a retinue member is downed he/she auto revives and gains 40x berserk tokens!) I have a Crusader and an Assassin in the Retinue and they SLAP! If they're downed and I'm near them it's "F" to revive and I imagine my Drill Abbot going, "WAKE THE ♥♥♥♥ UP, WE'VE HERETICS TO BURN, SON!"

I actually JUST got a power sword/shield to drop in the mission I just finished.

The only thing I wish they would make easier is there's no way to "quick compare" Retinue Gear; it... feels a little clunky; like you have to buy the Retinue Gear than go over to the Retinue Config structure on the bridge. When you're on Missions there's the "Retinue Management" cog on your HUD, (below your actions) that you can click. It's a bit of a pain but not a dealbreaker.

It looks like Assassin and Psyker only get two of their three armor types?

That's what I'm working towards, but so far Melee Assassin and Crusader + Long ranged Psyker are annihilating!
