The Final Assault w/Henchies?

Has anyone completed this quest w/henchies? I get all the way to the machine boss after clearing the area and end up running from binder to binder trying to kill them all at the same time. But, they seem to just spawn fast enought to keep me running in arround with one left. (pic included)

This quest would be very simple with a single human player but finding a pug sucks and takes forever. Any advice on how to defeat w/ henchies only?

Here is what Ive tried:
I tried bombing them with the kegs for the delay kill, but it did not damage them.
The big machines attacks damage the surrounding partols and furnace gaurds but do not seem to affect the binders

I got all that way too and felt so cheated. I had to quit because of the same lame reason.

Hey, you forgot to block out the mending icon, now I know one of the skills you use. I think I'll go and steal your build now.

Nod, and from the picture, I think your build is:

Mending, Sever Artery, Gash, Final Thrust, Galrath Slash....

And the possibles:
Healing Signet, Healing Hands.

Wait, isn't that the paladin premade?

Why on earth would you white out what skills you use? You ask for help but don't seem to want to offer any yourself.

Shessh......some people.

While I'm sure eventually someone will figure out a build that will allow you to get all 3 down in time by sending the hench one way while you go another and then sprint for the 3rd (not a lot of time, no sir!) but even so...

To take down the > THREE < Djinn, with hench, even if you do manage to separate them and fight them 1-on-1... well I'm guessing the 1 or 2 builds that could pull that off won't be the same build that can take out all 3 Rage Binders in time.

You definitely earn /brag rights if you're the first to finish FA with hench only.

You vastly overrate Djinn, killing them wouldn't be a problem, since hench actually gather in one place, so damage would be spreaded. Now, killing Rage Binders is just... Meh, I simply couldn't do it, always a split second too late. And that was assuming I run to 3rd before 2nd was killed and while he was being finished off by firestorm.

I was able to do it as an elem. It was frustrating and I was about to quit before making one more run at it. Basically relied on the hench finishing them off as I was using the DoT's on the next in line.

Degen is the key. Since you are a W/Mo with a sword you likely have sever artery. Drop one down most of the way, sever artery, hop to the next, weaken and sever artery, hit the third and kill. Then return to the first and finish him. Sever artery stops them from getting natural regen. You still have to be pretty fast about it.

Any way you go about it as a warrior it is going to be extremely difficult with henchies.

I made a post in the sanitarium:

About adding energy bars to party menu, a few posts down somemone starts flaming me for my skill loadout.

there class = their class
there mirror= their mirror
becuase = because ( ok maybe this was a typo )

don't be so self righteous it brings out my nasty side

so, anyway.. shut up and talk about killing the binders as a warrior. I'm sitting in game right now at the binders with my 60% DP (sorrow's flame/fist on Mhenlo and Lina.. hmm), my 7 hench with 60% DP, and an axe W/R.

Things I've tried:

- running around in circles killing them, last one gets back up as I'm killing the 3rd.
- killing one, running over to the other and just hitting him normally (no skills, so I have full adrenaline), going back to the first one that I killed, normally get there right before he gets up. Then I spike him with all of my skills and run to the last one, yet the other one gets up when I have him about halfway down.
- hitting one to near-death and running onto the next one hoping Dunham degens the first one to death. (Dunham sucks -.-)

anyway, looking pretty hopeless right now, I've got about 236 health and Mhenlo and friends get killed in 1 sorrow's flame/fist..

Killed the golem with 6 hencheman and a level 19 W/R and a pet.
25 respawns and a lot of luck.
after 20 respawns it became kinda funny running in circles with 6 hencheman killing them over and over again, slowly getting faster every time, than we tried a split up strategy.
I was protective smiting and we split up after killing one, the hencheman all follow the warrior. Of course the split up groups take a lot longer, but they can go back and kill the respawned one.

However hencheman AI bloody fails against djins!
They seperated easily.

FINALLY, that was the longest I ever spent trying to do one damn thing in this game. I got really freaking lucky and the 'have Dunham degen them to death' thing worked. I ran to the first one, weakened him, called target on the next one, and right as I finished killing the second one the first one died. Third one went down fast and that was the end of that.

The Flame Djinns didn't even take as long to kill, even with my massive death penalty and low health. Devona and Thom grouped right next to me and then I just Disrupting Chopped and spiked their ass. (Devona's knockdown helped, too )
