People often complain about how ineffective henchies are, yet others praise the effectiveness of them. I was wondering:

What's the biggest accomplishment you've had with your H/H?

I personally did Frostmaw's on HM without having to resort to consumables. I was pretty happy with that. However the drops were lousy lol :P
Also did a lot of vanquish's that I was pretty proud of like: Snake's Dance, Dreadnought's Drift and Lornar's Pass without having to use consumables either (although it was a close call lol).

How about you?

I'm amazed, I could hardly do Frostmaw with 2 Players + Discordway team and you manage to do it with henches. I've got a long way to go >_>;

My best acomplishment would only probably be vanquishing parts of EoTN, I usually avoid henchies as much as possible except when completing a campaign.

Frostmaw Hard Mode.

Me, Faer, 3 heroes. I kid you not. We have screenshots.

Vanquished all lands of Tyria (except Majesty Rest and Peridtion Rock) and half of Elona.

Wiped in Northern Wall, NM.

No, really, probably completing all of Proph in NM.

I cheated in Arguary Rock though, I used heroes there instead of just henchmen.

Ironically enough, I've found that proph henchmen do a better job then my heroes. They seem to avoid using attacks like the plague, yet run headlong into a wall of monsters twice their level to cast death nova on a minion with 95% HP, or to get someone from 80% HP to 81% HP. My heroes, that is. At least the henchmen don't follow me around half the fricking map while pinged at the beginning of the map just to cast death nova/protective spirit while I have shadow form on.

My biggest H/H success isn't all that spectacular - Vizunah Square (Local side, in normal mode; all henchmen on the Foreign side) as a half-assed Ritualist who did little more than cast [[Life] and [[Bloodsong], with the occasional [[Spirit Rift] when bored. Oh, and calling the Afflicted Ritualists, of course. (done less than an hour before this post, by the way :P)

H/H Gate of Pain HM, it was pretty easy surprisingly.

Bryant Again · May 22, 2009, 11:44 PM // 23:44

Probably my first, and this is something I always reference when talking about pugs and henchies. After 7 failed pugs at THK back in the day, I just picked up 7 of the henchies and won it.

That was the turning point in my pugging career.

jiggles · May 22, 2009, 11:45 PM // 23:45

All of elona minus the desolation (when i find motivation to pve i will get it done though) and all of tyria vanq'ed with h/h.

I know big woop. Cantha eventually ^^

Hehe thanks ^^ But just to clear up: I had done it tons of times on NM as training to get the boss spawns/ good strategies (and just for fun of course lol) so I was pretty prepared for it lol :P

Leg guardian, vanquisher, and master of the north H/H on my ranger with a MM, Mo/Me healer, and Rt/Me about a year ago.

Master of the north includes dungeons right? Amazingly well done o.o

eh, it's not that hard. my builds were crap compared to what I currently run... if I remember right, I ran...

Broad Head Arrow, Savage Shot, Sloth hunter shot, body shot, finish him, rapid fire, renew life... something like that. might have replaced sloth hunter for some other PvE-only skill. Don't remember.

MM was in most areas, but not all. Rit was channeling/resto rit because splinter is awesome. Don't recall what elite my monk had... UA is what I use nowadays. Think I used WoH...

EDIT : I think I added in Pain Inverter instead of sloth hunter shot sometimes.

I H/H'd pretty much everything, NM and HM. Only missions I didn't H/H were the super-hardcore ones like Sanctum HM, GoM HM, Dzagonur HM, etc. I H/H'd all of my vanquishes. All of them.

Probably some random hard vanquishes or legendary guardian. Nothing really exciting.
