So what are your thoughts on the new Henchmen builds? I have to say it having a beast master then a Minion Master in my group that was not a hero was a nice change. To be honest I have noticed a difference with the changes. They seem alittle stronger than before

(I have only been in factions since the change so not sure elsewhere how they are working)

Nika is super good now, she's always welcome on my team. Devona's Earth Shaker is a HUGE plus. Healer Henchmen are no longer utter crap as they are better than most players heroes.

Normal mode nightfall? Potentially 5 searing flames using H/H? Burning death all round

They havent killed Erys Vasburg have they?

eh. They changed henchmen after I finished all my vq'ing and hm/nm missions. Well whatever if I do take them again, i'm sure going to miss charge!. At first I always raged at how bad the builds for hench wars were but I'm going to miss the party wide speed boost to get me from place to place quicker.

they are nice. good that they finally updated builds that are years old on these henchmen

must have taken a while to do all those changes ;-)

I want charge back.

MM hench sucks, 12 death with only vampirics/Golem

Otherwise don't care, everything's vanqed, I'll only use the healers in pugs.

Factions prot got crapped down.

He used to have LS which was crap,then awesome and now they remove it from the hench...

Shayne Hawke · Oct 26, 2009, 06:05 PM // 18:05

I'm sorta disappointed that they removed "Charge!" from every Warrior's bar, because I liked to use those henchmen sometimes to just get into the next battle faster, but they put some good fighting elites in its place, so no harm done.

It's a step in the right direction, I suppose. ;>

Between the last skill update and this, I'm restoring a little faith in Anet.

You don't have heroes?

Martin Alvito · Oct 26, 2009, 06:26 PM // 18:26

One does not H/H endgame content. Just the title grind garbage like Vanquishing.

Carinae · Oct 26, 2009, 06:57 PM // 18:57

The prot hench need Aegis, and yea, I miss Charge.

Bah! I H/H everything whenever possible.

Since I have been using 6 heroes so I can bring 2 characters through at the same time, I have not used henchies for a while now. But still nice to know that they have been improved upon.

jonnieboi05 · Oct 26, 2009, 07:29 PM // 19:29

Haven't tried the henchman yet. Me and my gf always play together and never without eachother so +6 heroes at all times. :P

Verene · Oct 26, 2009, 07:42 PM // 19:42

I do miss Charge.

However, the new henchmen builds definitely feel stronger than before. They're a lot better.

I couldn't agree with you more on charge especially on Devona in NF got some good free runs from her.It was usfull for going up the Shiverpeaks as well.I was surprised Orion didn't get meteor showers.It is nice to see Lina with condition removal.

agrios · Oct 26, 2009, 08:06 PM // 20:06

I agree that they look stronger now. Charge was somehow useful, but I can live without it. A good update IMHO, and last but not least, removing touch spells from healers was hell about time..

Age · Oct 26, 2009, 08:12 PM // 20:12

The healer hench never used healing touch on us later on in the game only in very beginning.
