It is possible beat the game with henchies?

Hello to all ^^

First off all, I will say that I'm an Sin. (Assasin)

Well, my problem, as most of sins on this game have is..... I CAN'T GET A DAMN GROUP FOR MISSIONS!

Then, I was wondering if is possible to beat the whole game with just henchies? of course, I mean Factions.

Anyway, have someone tried to beat game with henchs?


Thank you, any help is appreciated.

Yes, it is.

My assassin has a protector of cantha title. I used to have the same problem getting into a group, so I start my own group. Now with the protector title, people don't really hesitate whether to allow me into a group because having a protector title means that you have really good coordination skills with your team members in order to get masters bonus.

^^ yeah, helpful.

It is quite possible. If you're experiance frustraition with any set mission you'd really need to look at the henchies you take, there's certainly an ideal set for certain difficult missions. So, if you're finding a mission too hard, which will often be the case, look at the henchies you're with and change the line up.

Likewise, it's benificial to look at your Assassin build from mission to mission.

Of course, if you have a Protector title, what exactly do you need a group for?

Gyala would be the hardest part IMO. But if you went on the Kurzick side you wouldn't have to touch it unless you wanted the Protector's title.

Accually Racthoh, because of the glitch Gyala is quite easy with proper aggro control and patience. I henched it just the other day with little problem.

Back way for Gyala Hatchery is the easiest way to get the Master Reward but it takes a longer time.

Yeah ... before they fixed the glitch.

I have absolutely no idea

Sometimes I play old missions over again.

It could be possible although I am to impaient for Henchies wouldn't work for me.

Factions is pretty easy to hench, prophecies is a little tougher due to lack of infusion.

Hardest part in factions has gotta be vizunah square, you know when the henchmen make a run for the other group (straight into the wall) and leave you fending for yourself.

I had my assassin hench the entire Factions campaign since yelling out "Assassin LFG" would probably get me nowhere. So definitely possible.

I hanched the entire Prophecies campain when I got frustated with Pugs, so I can confirm that it is possible.

NOT easy but possible.

Dude, just play the elite missions. They are pretty intense, and fun as hell. But they do take time.

Bottom line, they're fun PvE, period.

If you want to do that, play something like Hitman: Blood Money.

Otherwise, just dive in and try to learn why you hate society so much: there are answers out there (here). It's rewarding in a sick and twisted way.

Agreed.

Anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

The pussiest gayest thing ever are the touch rangers and the D/Mo's.

But playing the game with henchies are fine. If there are too many idiots, don't get mad, get henchies.

Right, when the local team gets too close to the north wall of the square below, foreign henchies lose their minds. It is possible to keep them at your side by staying away from the cliff and being constantly on the move, though.

However, I found that VS is (at least for the local party) much easier if you can get two parties of full henchies (i.e. no real person on the other side). I attempted the mission with my canthan Rt with full henchies on both sides and the mission could almost be a breeze. We cut through the first big battle like a light-saber through butter -- no casualties, no 50% below health and I suspect neither Togo nor Mhenlo took even a single hit.

We were also doing pretty well in the second big battle, until an Afflicted Ranger maimed me with the friggin Marauder's Shot. I had to log off because I did not want to lose my Survivor track.

Now, either they eased down on the diff level of this mission or there is something to be learned about the quality of henchies vs PUGs.

!. Carry a no-attrib longbow to initiate combat when you are with henchies. And sometimes afterwards. My first encounter with Jade Brotherhood Knights left me very dead. I got a little 9-11 no attrib longbow, and opened fire with that. To my amazement, the henchies took them all down easily while I stood safely at range plinking them with tiny plinks.

2. Experimenting with different hench lineups is a very good idea. Sometimes the mage is a good idea to keep things stirred up, other times the archer would be better. The interrupter is always a good idea!

3. If you really get desperate for PUGs, go A/R and advertise as a Critical Barrage Archer. At least it gets you through the missions, and the overall damage per minute is sometimes higher than with daggers. I henched Raisu Palace as a Critical Barrage Archer, worked fine. If you do CBA, get a pet just for fun! Who said you couldn't have fun?

4. When you are in a group wielding daggers, don't die! Watch out for attacks on your own casters, and protect them. This will make you popular with the monk.
