Best performance from Henchies :)

ok so after about 5 tries for RoF mission with actual people i gave up and all i wanted was to cap life transfer for my nec and so i grabbed some henchies set up bloodspiker build (idk why) and amazingly we beat mission i couldnt believe it best performance iv ever seen from henchies =)

whats best performance youve ever seen?

I finished Thunderhead Keep with all Henchies. They are a HEAP better than most people that do that mission, kinda sad actually.

Sad to say that henchies are actually better most or at least some people. I've beaten Thunderhead also with henchies. It just seems that henchie AI has finally meet requierments that people normally don't have.

sadly its true people run through about 5 different groups and end up killing the team while henchies just follow you =)

The best place to cap that skill would of been Ice flow just outside of Thunderhead from the unnamed Musraat boss.That is where I got mine for my R/N.I love useing inturrupts and traps on them.

I've beaten every single mission and quest in the game on two out of three characters with henchies. I've just played with thm so much I can easily manipulate them to do what I want, they are MUCH better then real people mainly because they can stay on target. The only problem with henchies is fighting that damn Aura of Faith Monk boss in Abbadons Mouth, Ring of Fire or Thunderhead Keep(Ouch), just because he takes forever to kill unless your character is anti-caster. On a Healing Monk it takes ages though.

I've done ~90% of missions (from 4 characters) with real people, but I think I'm now beginning to see the light (espeically for cap groups! I can't believe I once went with humans to cap a skill). From now on, unless I see I guild group, I'm just going to go with henchies.

The henchies are so good, sometimes they're even better than me, I had to let them kill all the mobs and come back to rez my sorry butt.

I've beaten Hell's Precipe with just henches. It took a while but I did do it.

Did the last fire isle quest and bonus with henches

Bait. For solo IDS runs

My "Best performance from Henchies" was when I beat the last mission in the game with them; Hell's Precipces. We had to take take the long way round but, on the up side of things they followed targets and we had to rez just twice. Which is much less then I had to do with real people. Some people bad mouth the henchies but in some cases there better the actual people.

My best performance with henchies was today in HA. Guildies and 4 henchies won 3 in a row, 1 flawless ag balanced and iway (lucky eoe bomb).

Actually it's a fact, henchies are better than many players in the game. Sadly, bad players with better skill combination outdo henchies just because of the skills.

I would like to finnaly get lvl 20 hanchies with customisable skill/armor sets.

There are far too many to count. Most notable would be THK with bonus, and every capture on the Ring of Fire Isle.

I beat the last mission with Henchies and one other Player...I think it was a fluke though, but at least they all attacked the called target instead of only attacking "the biggest guys first!"

The 2 Monk Hench were MUCH better than any PC Monks I'd gotten for the RoF mish on a recent cap run for myself. I mean, it wasn't even close, and the PCs were better than average. It was rare to see someone's health drop below about 95%.

I guess the Hench pwn the RoF mission.

I beat all three RoF missions with henchies with my first character (a R/E.) But that was before the AoE nerf - was MUCH easier to get through the gates on the RoF & Abbadon's mouth missions then.

From My experience, it takes longer to do missions/quests with henchies than it does with a good PUG. But I guess that's part of the risk/reward thing that comes into play with GW.

I recently did Iron Mines mission with my healer and henchies. I cleared the map with no major problems, even stumbled onto the bonus and did it.

A few hours later I did the same mission with my ele and humans. It was long, frustrating, and gruesome.

I use henches about 80-90% of the time so I've gotten use to their little quirks. People are a different story. I've been in groups where everyone just seems to be in synch with each other, and I've been in groups that couldn't make it 2 minutes outside town before they split up and attack different mobs- and then yell at me cause I didn't heal the guys half a screen away.


My worst henchie moment-Right after the newest update I was capping my ele in Dragon's Lair and got to the mana-drain lvl, then all my henchies went left and kept running. Right thru the cave wall. I died alone and abandoned.

yeah hench are great, i did every mish with them apart from abbadons mouth and hells percipice.at least u dont get bad mouthed from henchies if u do something wrong or rez te wrong person lol. i totally enjoy the game more with hench.

Henchies get special treatment. It saddens me more seeing them fall in the midst of the battle than most egoism-infested PUGs where everyone would prefer to go alone but cannot since the overall notion they blindly adopted says: "Henchies suck". Now don't tell me I am playing Freud again. No No, the really bad and good thing is you already smell people's attitude before and in the beginning of the missions/quests. Most don't set roles, positions, target-callers. Come one, it doesn't ages and it makes people feel more comfortable in their role.
