When I started playing factions, i thought that since they added so many henchies, I will eventually see a MM one! But I didnt

I think there should be a MM henchman, who uses flesh golem and has the same build any other MM would

Hope you like my idea

Nightfall will have fully customizable henchman... Problem solved.

They said so, but I'm a bit hesitant to it though. I really hope you have some preset builds you can use, if not you'll spend half an hour setting up a hench group every time you want to hench, and you might as well get a PUG. Also wondering if you can set up more advanced builds (two professions) and if they will implement AI to make more difficult builds work. Imagine a bonder Alesia for example, will she be smart enough to use bond on everyone or only 4 bonds (4 energy pips) and will she use blessed signet to regain energy? Or will they require very basic builds.

An mm would be another example of a more advanced build, will it be able to use Blood of the Master properly? Either way, letting a hench use minions + death nova would be very powerful.

The only place I saw anything about customizable henchmen is from the ebgames website. Has this been confirmed by Anet? Or is it still a rumor? It would be great if it were true, but I doubt it.

sounds promising. I think it would be nice if we would be able to take more than one henchman of a build out with us too. Like the ones they have now... I would be tight to be able to take out a full group of fighters or something.

id be worried if my MM henchy BOTM himself to death >.>

OMFGimCUTE · Aug 10, 2006, 07:56 PM // 19:56

hench might heal its self everytime it used BOTM

healer henchman are on the ball... they'd be all over that.

tommarrow · Aug 10, 2006, 08:56 PM // 20:56

You guys forgot about the MM henchie.

I don't think that would be very good considering that the hench would build a large army of minions and make the mission too easy. Then ANet would nerf the hell out of the henchie, and then he'd become useless.

they only get 4 skills and 1 profession, my guess is it would get.

minion golem thing
blood of the master
bone fiend or horror, probably fiend
death nova

so really it wouldn't be that good.. just better than nothing

Well this has been suggested a few times before. I even remember replying in that a thread about that. My thoughts are basically that it would seem pretty difficult to program and also that MMs are over rated.

But if Nevin is correct, then problem solved. I can close this thread now (it's redundent anyway).
