Hahah, that's good. I seem to get more drops when I deal more of the damage or deal the killing blow. I'm pretty sure the devs would implement something like that not the 12.5x8 thing.

I never get anything when I go with henchies, except a share of the gold and the occasional summit badge/crappy wand. I get much better drops when I go with real people.

in case u dont know henchies DONT pick up their drops and eventually drops will show up and you can pick them up so i suggest after killing the boss you want a drop from go afk for around 5 or 10 minutes the drop will be there if he did drop i figured this out when i was with henchies and killed morgriff came backa little while later and i saw morgriffs staff on the ground

I'll give it a try, but I'm not so sure. Even soloing, not all badguys drop. I have noticed too that there seems to be a limited number of 'gold' or 'purple' drops etc per mission/route, and that if you go in a party it appears to be purly random as to who gets what. The good drops appear to be consistent with certain 'badguys' in each mission. If you pick a mission (try some of the north shiverpeak ones) and solo it you'll notice this - or maybe the random generator was just having a bad day: anyone else notice this phenomena

Gaile already came out and ended this debate. She said clearly that there was no difference in drop rates between henchmen and human players. It is the same, always. Henchmen or human. No difference. None. 12.5% X 8 = 100% is indeed all there is to this math. Adjust your perceptions accordingly.

Have no problem with using henches but for 2 things:

(1) henches like to agro mobs 2-3 radius circle away even when flag pinned against a wall.

(2) henches path poorly if you are fighting around terran. a 90% turn can wipe a party of henches as they run back and forth never able to engage.

now if you choose to use a pug:

(1) someone will always join that is in the group to do nothing but ninja all chests and do 0 damage or afk when you are fighting.

(2) someone will always have to go or dc. or you end up babysitting a little kid.

Comparing the 2 evils, i use henchies often =)

OK, but what does that have to do with this thread about henchmen stealing drops, in which the last reply was over a year ago?
