Henchmen Variety Ideas
How about having the basics like "Ranger, Mesmer, Warrior, Monk, Necro, Elementalist, etc. etc." type of henchies t ochoose from but when you select them it would give you the option to choose their secondary proffesions as well as the attribute they should be proficient in.
Example:
You choose the Elementalist hench, then you get an option to choose from a set of secondary proffesions (or you could select none) as well the as attributes they should have highest then the skills placed into their skill bar is somewhat random but they rely on the attributes you told them to be better in...as well maybe change weaponry and armor depending on it too...
This way you can select a healer, smiter or protection monk...an axe, hammer or sword warrior (depending on what you want them to do...knockdown, high dmg, conditions etc.) or a fire, earth, water or air elemental as well as the armor is dependant on your location too (if you are in the southern shiverpeaks after Droknars then the hench would have armor that somwhat represents droknar armor)
this way it gives a more "Random" feel of being in an ACTUAL group but now you wont have to deal with idiot bitchy human players :P
