The Official Hench Rule Thread

Hench > Pugs Hellz yeah!!111

Wrong, Racthoh > everyone. LoL...

Numa I noticed that you don't take res signet when useing henchies how come? All henches carry a res sig or a hard res, and if Lina or Mhenlo goes down they will use it immediately. Only time I bring it is when there's lots of interrups flying, like in Thunderhead Keep, as otherwise if, say, Dunham goes down, Lina and Mhenlo will try to do a hard rez, get interrupted, try to rez again, get interrupted... And you get a chainreaction with henches dying all over the place because healing has stopped. A rez sig can get the healer to stop trying to rez and actually do his job instead.

Otherwise the henches, especially in Cantha, are good enough that I even have stopped bringing self heal (although I sometimes bring support skills for the healer henches - a timely Heal Other or Mend Ailment on Mhenlo can turn a battle).

There's one thing I still haven't managed to do with henches, though: Defiled Tombs. I know it's possible, but I can't get seem to get past the second level. Partly the problem is that the zaishen henches _suck_, but like I said, others have done it - and it annoys me that I can't.
