Dunham [Enchanter Henchman] - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

Dunham's problem isn't his spells, it's his AI. He casts distortion WAY too often, and for some reason rarely casts anything else.

Orion's also terrible, he aims his over time aoe's all wrong.

I'm pretty sure thats Dunham spamming Distortion out of battle

. I've also noticed a problem with Lina's AI, she'll always use reversal on me if I'm hurt, even if we're out of battle. I've also seen Claude nearly kill himself by using blood ritual at about 1/3 health.

Why does Dunham keep casting Distortion whenever he's standing still? He never stops... every 5 seconds, there it is again. Even if we're all just standing there, and no enemies are even remotely close.

Skills?

Imagined Burden (level 8-17) -Okay.
Crippling Anguish (level 20) -Never used him at level 20, I'll take your word for it.
Shatter Hex -Since when? I've been sitting there with 4 curses on me, and he just sits there picking his nose!
Drain Enchantment -Hm. I suppose it's believable.
Empathy -Maybe a weak Empathy...
Distortion -no kidding.
Res Sig -typical of henchies.

Enchanter my mesmer ass. Not only does Dunham not have the AI to properly use a mesmer, but he doesn't even use the skills to support it.

Claude is awesome for a caster to bring along. Blood Ritual is a skill he knows how to use, and he at least does his share of damage. Is he simply not liked because he doesn't use Animate Bone Minions?

Reyna... uh... what does she do? She shoots some arrows, which deal damage... but does she have any non-bow attack related skills? I'm simply ignorant about her... therefore, I try to avoid taking her whenever possible.

Hahaha.. Complaining about the noise he makes, not the lack of usefulness.

I usually bring Devona, Thom, Mhenlo, Lina, Cynn, Dunham, and Eve.
I like Dunham, he's pimp.
I don't care if he doesn't do anything or not.

I just love to watch Orion finish casting Fire Storm after the mobs are dead.
Sometimes I just leave him dead.. Does he cast anything besides Flare and Fire Storm? I can't think of anything else that he could cast.

Yeah, I don't see Dunham doing much either. He just dies...
He's a great tank.

Claude is not useless...he's great for elems thanks to blood ritual, which he uses on me all the time...

I've seen him use Fireball and Inferno up around the Crystal Desert, Southern Shiverpeak regions

I've only used Dunham once. I used him to kill the boss with Aura of Faith. Without him, the battle goes on forever with only henchmen(if you don't bring enchantment removal yourself).
