Smile Henchman Claude comes to EotN...

OK. So maybe we won't get seven Heroes.

If you could add a henchman to the Eye of the North lineup (from the three campaigns), who would it be and what would their skill bar look like?

Bear in mind that henchmen

--Don't use PvE skills
--Don't have runes, etc.
--Don't have secondary professions
--Should have "general utility" builds

My vote would be for someone like ...

Claude (Death Magic):
[skill]Icy Veins[/skill][skill]Animate Bone Fiend[/skill][skill]Animate Bone Minions[/skill][skill]Deathly Swarm[/skill][skill]Signet of Lost Souls[/skill][skill]Well of Suffering[/skill][skill]Death Nova[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

I miss old Claude, I really do. Plus, I'd like to see a minion master as a hench option. (Other possibilities might include Taya with a smiting prayers build or Aeson with a Restoration Rit build.)

Come on, ArenaNet. How about adding another henchperson (or even "henchthing" -- like Brutus) to Eye of the North?

EDIT: Dropped one of the nine (!) skills (Soul Feast) from this build. My apologies! [Thanks for pointing this out, Coloneh.]

...but seriously. I would like to see Brutus make a comeback. Used to like using him in the pre-hero Factions days. Bring him back as an SV necro...muahaha.

I want Alesia as a wammo (like in the Norn Tourney) because admit it, she DOES pull that off better than monking.

I'd like Little Thom back, I always thought him > Stefan. Plus Devona uses hammer and Talon uses sword, we need an axe henchie!

Sogolon was a good henchie, IMO.

Mod Edit: Lets leave the spoilers out of the thread please

One hybrid monk with WoH would be nice, and a warrior with a weapon elite and not just Charge!, but frankly the EotN henches already seem to have pretty good skillsets. It's much worse in other parts of the game.

EDIT: Oh yeah, Sogolon. Much missed in EotN, gotta admit.

Little thoms bar

He could be called "adrenaline henchman" or something along those lines. Since he's a henchmen character I didn't give him a increase attack speed skill.

Your Little Thom proposal sounds like the kind of build my war usually uses, except my war doesn't have a...well...that's off topic.

The campaigns skipped a lot of nice builds for henchmen, I'd like elementalists for each element, and a SIGNET HENCHIE! > Sucks if he gets hit by Rust though.

How about a BiP henchie? XD

Remember Nehdukah from Istan? How about he comes back in GW:EN, 3 years after NF, in search of "new creatures and new adventure" and he brings his pig with him? A pet-owning henchie would be...interesting.

[skill]Power Shot[/skill][skill]Hunter's Shot[/skill][skill]Heal As One[/skill][skill]Disrupting Lunge[/skill][skill]Brutal Strike[/skill][skill]Charm Animal[/skill][skill]Apply Poison[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

Power Shot is FTW on stupid henchies!

Little Thom is the only axe hench there is. I'd like to see more axe use from the hench. So bringing Little Thom would be my first option. Build I'd like to see used:

[skill]Triple Chop[/skill][skill]Dismember[/skill][skill]Axe Twist[/skill][skill]Wild Blow[/skill][skill]Tiger Stance[/skill][skill]Lion's Comfort[/skill][skill]Shield Bash[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

My second choice would be a Necro, probably Sheena. I love the support option from Death Magic, and would like to see something like:

[skill]Tainted Flesh[/skill][skill]Death Nova[/skill][skill]Deathly Swarm[/skill][wiki]Putrid Bile[/wiki][skill]Taste of Pain[/skill][wiki]Withering Aura[/wiki][skill]Signet of Lost Souls[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

And lastly, I'd like to see a class from something other than the core classes. Rit, Sin, Derv, or Para would be nice. Oddly enough, I'd like an Assassin the most. Panaku is my favorite Sin hench, because his build is actually good. I would change it a little though.

[skill]Beguiling Haze[/skill][skill]Return[/skill][skill]Shadow Refuge[/skill][skill]Sharpen Daggers[/skill][skill]Unsuspecting Strike[/skill][skill]Fox Fangs[/skill][skill]Critical Strike[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

My ideal Little Thom:

[skill]Eviscerate[/skill][skill]Executioner's Strike[/skill][skill]Lion's Comfort[/skill][skill]Cyclone Axe[/skill][skill]Wild Blow[/skill][skill]Bonetti's Defense[/skill][skill]Sprint[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

Methinks I'm trying TOO hard to make him good.

I like to use both Cyclone Axe + Triple chop on my Axe Hero, and AoE hammer is also nice.

AoE Melee = Win in PVE because it doesnt cause scatter

The worst thing about the henchmen bars is that you have to renember they use their skills independantly(thus not too great).

A very small bar would be better then some large ones.

e.g

[skill]"for great justice!"[/skill][skill]Dragon Slash[/skill][skill]Lion's comfort[/skill][skill]Tiger stance[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill].
the henchman would have no choice in attack skills apart from dragons slash, ensuring good DPS.
