I play my ranger 99% of the time and I H/H 99% of the time. As I did that one mish in Nightfall today with the Horticultorist (can't seem the remember the name) I had to keep going back to kill the Harbringers, and I couldn't fight with the light in my hands. I know I could have dropped it, but I think it would be nice if you could target a bundle item and a hero would pick it up. And the target button would be replaced by a drop button (much like the rit ashes) so you could micro the drop. It would be nice for melee like me and it shouldn't be too hard to add. What do you guys think?

I guess, but I'm not so sure. It may be a waste. Could work. I personally like it

Would be very useful when doing Heart of Shiverpeaks, or when you have to carry the spear/urn, it is really a pain when you're a melee class.

Oh I could not agree with this more.

My main is a Dervish. I like to kill things. Do you know how annoying it gets having to cart around some stupid item which makes me unable to do anything? Gah.

yes yes yes yes yes.

Ive thought this for ages, i hate doing arborstone when passing through with a melee class. Id much rather my necro carry it, he'l have no problem with E-mangement, and still be able to do whatever i set his skills to do.

Whereas i, a melee class am just basically sitting around waiting for my team to polish off the mobs, or having to drop my item and loosing all bonus i may of achieved with it.

Or for times like in old ascolon doing it in HM with my warrior, and passing all the catapult pieces but can only carry one piece at a time.

So sick of carrying mission required crap on my physical attack characters when my hero's can do it so much easier.

I hated the mish when you had the carry the spear and the urn because I was a melee to lol.

/signed for obvious reasons: Urn, Spear, D'Alessio bonus bundle, etc.

for all the reasons stated above.

This has been something I've personally wanted done for a long time.

This makes a good deal of sense... just don't know how possible it is.

I don't agree with this. I mean with the harbringer mission you are talking about, it kind of takes the hard part of the mish out by allowing heroes to carry. I think going with humans should be the reward of allowing to carry items for flexibility.

Aurura Glade, Jennur's Horde, and all other bundle missions are just horribly designed when run with henchmen. They can already carry and drop ashes, so its not like they CAN'T do it.

pinguinius · Jun 13, 2009, 03:40 AM // 03:40

Would be great if the same button that you can tell heroes to drop the rit bundles with would also allow them to pick up the item you have targeted.

Not gonna agree with this, even though I am annoyed with doing those missions with a class that needs the weapon to attack. Do we really want more reasons to play alone on a MULTIPLAYER game?

It's very annoying to have to deal with those types of missions
And yes u can get pugs but many people avoid pugs due to their high fail rate
Plus some missions are basically dead at times

Sometimes its not about playing alone, there just may not be anyone to play WITH at the time. For instance, the later missions in factions that require a person to carry a bundle. Not many people there looking for groups, so unless you have a very helpful and very caring guild or ally that will help you out, you have no choice but to carry that crappy bundle. Not only that, but I've been in pugs where casters refused to carry the bundle because it 'would mess with their energy pool' or some crap.

So yea, /signed.

Especially for items that need to be carried that're fragile. I'm looking at you, D'Alessio Bonus!

As for giving more reasons to solo:

Why play with a PUG member that could fail miserably when you can accomplish 10x more with a hero that is actually useful?

This is something that should have been in the game from the get-go.

As for encouraging use of H/H, there are already three very good reasons to bring humans over (or in addition to) H/H:

Humans get PvE-only skills

H/H are stupid

Henchie builds cannot be controlled and often suck
