Mentioned alittle in other threads.

Firstly. The Prot.

Lina OMGPWNZORS this new Prot monk...

This monk firstly only really uses 1 active proting skill, Life Sheath. She carries Aegis and uses it once a blue moon also (most of the time when we arent even fighting anything).

But what REALLY makes her useless, and the Spirit Henchie a better option, is she has no qualms about using Rebirth at free will...Making her useless for awhile thereafter, and just basically adding DP to the rezzed person because this girl will Rebirth someone when SHE is standing right in an aggro group, basically just putting a "kill me" sign on the now weak and disabled person. They were better off dead...

The Healer henchie now...seems to have some messed up AI when it comes to Priority healing, AND she carries Purge Signet...making her useless thereafter because she's zapped her own Energy. THIRDLY, She, opposite of the prot monk mentioned above, NEVER rezes unless you Spam "[Whoever] is dead!" pings. Even after you've killed all enemies.

You have a point, but don't forget to mention the dual ressing, and the fact that they WILL run across the whole map just to res a Protection henchy when you were lying 2 meters from her. (on the way to the prot. henchy she likes to agro as much as possible...)

Kali Ma · Mar 26, 2006, 07:52 AM // 07:52

Gotta admit it, the monk henchies do suck pretty bad. They've rezzed me in the middle of a mob up to three times, and never seem to focus on healing the real players as much as the other henchmen. Or maybe they just don't like Ritualists, I don't know.

But yeah, /signed

Signed. I thought that for Factions they will finally FIX those. But hell no... Lina used to own in GW, now she sucks just like Alesia... Can we at least like drag Lina from GW? Ship her on the ferry.

UltimaXtreme · Mar 26, 2006, 12:42 PM // 12:42

the new prot henchman is one of the dumbest things in the game.

TGgold · Mar 26, 2006, 03:16 PM // 15:16

I just want Lina back, and then I'd be happy.

I like the Rit henchman though, it helps. Maybe they figured that teams now need a healer, a prot, and a rit to stay alive. ew.

The Spirit Henchie, despite taking longer because she sits up spirits, is acutally more competent than the Monk henchies...atleast she doesn't blow her energy pool on 1 skill then sit around looking funny til it recharges.

Happened to me last night until I spammed I was dead. Stupid Henchies!

/signed

Esprit · Mar 26, 2006, 05:06 PM // 17:06

She uses Rebirth at will? Sure.

A group of henchies and I were fighting a Luxxon pop up group and happened to aggro a Dredge group and long story short the two warrior henchies and the healer were left fighting two dredge and their healer.

Neither side could out-damage the healers, and I sat there for 10 minutes hoping that I did not have to re-fight the first 3 groups out of 4 Luxxons for the quest. FINALLY the healer used the Restoration Chant or whatever to turn the tables.

BellyFlop · Mar 26, 2006, 06:31 PM // 18:31

there are henchies that heal ?
I like to think them as Tanks

While we're on the subject of retarded henchies, Talon Silverwing, the avicara, seems too big for his own good. I'll often be looking around during the fighting only to find him standing dumbly behind me.

If only the avicara at mineral springs had this problem

Rancour · Mar 26, 2006, 06:38 PM // 18:38

Hehe, notice how people are so eager to have a say in everything that half the posters in this thread have "signed" it, eventhough there's nothing to sign.

I agree though, stupid henchmen. But with some competent player skill (not saying you're incompetent, just saying it's good. Don't take it the wrong way) and some careful aggroing, any henchmen group can work.

Cyprus Of Nod · Mar 26, 2006, 07:00 PM // 19:00

I do most all my playing with henchmen and I have ha donly minor problems. Yes one big one is the rebirth right in the middle of the fray and instant death over and over again, (unless u prepair and run, it works

)

The prot henchie uses draw conditions I think. I enjoy the condition removal every once in awhile, and thats why I like takiing the factions prot henchie b/c of the conditions.

Jas D · Mar 26, 2006, 09:00 PM // 21:00

What exactly are we signing?

Henches need to be fixed, I know.

prodigy ming · Mar 26, 2006, 10:20 PM // 22:20

I was doing quest with all henches. I died. I have 3 healer type henches in my group and not a single one tried to rez me.

Former Ruling · Mar 26, 2006, 10:40 PM // 22:40

The striking difference between healers and prot is funny. As its been said over and over in this thread.

The Prot will jump at the chance to blow her energy pool on Rebirth, but you have to hope and pray and beg for the healer's to use their rez...

I also noticed that the Healer henchie will stand CLOSER to the enemies than the warriors (if thats even possible -_-) because she likes to stay in Healing Touch range...

Not that it even matters, they are useless for most of the fight because they blow their energy pool at first chance.
