Henchmen are infused in Thunderhead and after (incl Grotto). However, they don't get infused in Iron Mines, which makes the bonus there tricky (but doable)

Henchies are almost always better than random people.
Reason why healer hench is alot better than most monks: they never forget to heal. I think people who hate henchies are just plain ignorant.

I completed every Ring of Fire mission with henchies if that says something.

People who truly hate henchies use them too much.

People who are afraid to use them, are ignorant.

I dont hate then but sometimes ... I do.

Henchman are a pain because of how they are not that smart, you add the enchanter henchman and you expect he shut downs the enemy casters and screw up the fighter and I have yet to see him to do anything useful, same goes with the necromancers henchman.

Also if you switch target they all switch target, they also tend to go after the strongest enemy if you happen to be killed and I sould not even mention on how they sometimes raise me when being wiped so I can get a bigger DP!

I know we have super players that completed Ring of Fire missions with just 2 henchman and stuff like it but the regular player finds henchman to be near useless in missions when it hits the desert.

Henchman > most parties, i've noticed. I really wish it weren't the case, but it's simply true. especially if you're in northern shiverpeaks or kryta or wherever... I usually do those missions with henchmen, because try it with a party and you fail. With henchies, it's a hole in one. Also, Alesia and Lina make an awesome team.
