Hero Tracker
Drakeonfire has created an excellent tool which you can use to keep a track of all your heroes in one easy to manage location as well get an evaluation of their skills (uses the information posted in the below skill rolling section.)
You can access the hero tracker tool by clicking this link.
Quest Simulator
Ress built a tool that simulates in-game questing mechanics into an excel spreadsheet that you can use to test out various builds, equipment, and settings against any dungeon of your choice!
It is quite accurate and gives you a good idea of how well your heroes will do and is a min-maxer’s best friend!

Roster Building
Advice on choosing classes for elemental barriers
Below you can find some example rosters to get you started on your hero rolling journey along with some examples of how each class can be built effectively.
With halfway decent skills and gear, that sample roster can clear most content without breaking a sweat. If you follow that roster, you will have three heroes per element, meaning you can tackle most content with elemental barriers.
It is very easy to set up with minimal investment required. Notice that most classes on that list are pretty easy to build and don’t require a promotion to work. There are also no T7s or classes that are particularly tricky to skill until the final steps. No Champions are included in the team.
These things are all very intentional. It means that if you follow the sample roster, you’ll have a rock solid foundation to help you move towards later in the game. The teams are also three characters each which means you can easily slot in whatever Champion you want if there’s a gap you need to fill.
