And doing this doesn't actually have to be that complex. We know ANET is planning on linking their wiki into guild wars. So once they have that done, they just link us to a page stating the henchman's setup, then make sure the page has accurate information.

In fact, I'd settle for ANET simple making a web page with the skills, attributes, runes, armor stats and weapon stats of the henchmen and updating it as they change them.

Having the player consult a webpage is what we have with wiki right now.

There should be a reference in the game itself. Webpages are good for thorough reading, thinking, planning, learning, etc...

When we access the Party window, we can add heroes as well as henchmen. Why not add an option to see the skills there?

I don't see a downside to it. Descriptions like 'Cultist', 'Brawler', 'Vile', 'Holy' are FAR from revealing

That is actually what im trying to avoid. I dont want to leave the programme and rely on accessing a website to find this information. Its when you try to move between the guild wars programme, and back into your windows desktop to look at websites that the issues start.

On my PC for instance, it can take a good 30-60 seconds just move between the two, because the game takes so long to stop thinking about what its doing. It really doesnt like being flicked in and out of.

If you consider how much time it would take to move in and out of the game, to look at websites over and over again to view hench skill-bars. That would get frustrating!

Yes you can minimise the window, but that can slow a system down too.

What im asking for, is the skill-bar information be inside the game. Simply accessed by speaking to the NPC and asking to see it. Not changable, or controllable, just simply viewed.

If Anet made the hench, they certainly have their attributes, skills, etc, listed somewhere. Can it be that hard to shove it on a page on their website or their wiki?

Im not flaming, I swear. But did you read the thread? The henchs skill-bar information is already available on guildwiki.net. That information already exists on a website.

My point is, im asking for that information to be put in side the game, so you dont have to move in and out of the game to view a website to retrieve it.

Welll If they link to the wiki, I hope they have an igame browser, otherwise it would not fix much.

We dont need an ingame browser, because all im asking for is the skill-bar to be displayed in a very simple window so we can what they use.

Probably the same window which you view, when you select a persons build after they ping it.
