Favourite hench?
Mrscoombes
Which henchmen is your favourite and why? Not use in battles, but backstory, lore and such. I would have to say Aidan would be my favourite, cos he's cool headed and picks off enemies from a distance. Say you were about to get an axe to the head - chances are Aidan would of shot an arrow off and it hit the guy straight in the arm.

I'm gonna go with Eve, because she's just so durn cool. Maybe she's insane, but she's useful o.o
Wtf?Omfg!Bbq!
*Drool* Eve *Drool*

Erys Vasburg (sp?)
Because he runs domination while I run illusion and knows when to use cry of frustration
Wait.. you didn't mean that.
Panaku
There's something about the assassin and his attitude I really like. He's got that whole thing of "I'm gonna do my job MY way even if you want me to do it another way" going for him, and damn, bet you he managed to scare enough of his victims by simply looking at them with those eyes of his. Definatly someone I want on my friends side.
Also like how later, he becomes aware that there is more to life than just killing for money, and starts putting thought into his redemption.

What's so cool about eve? The fact she carries a skull around with her and says it talks to her? I would get damned well creeped out by her. =(
Vincaro
I like Aroura on the Luxon side, Barrage henchie
Cebe
I point blank refuse to take Lo Sha or Panaku on my team...even if I have no other choice - the team is more effective without them. The only skill they seem to have is "die".
My favourite henchman would have to be Erys Vasburg. That man has godly reflexes! Interruptalicious! I understand all those who go with Eve....she is veeerry nice. Erys Vasburg hands down though.

Eve is great because she boosted sales for GW by being on the box.

I see no purpose to have such a thread when the obvious Lord and Master of all Henchmen is Erys Vasburg.

Most favorite:
* The interrupt guy because *damn* he's good at interrupting. Computer reflexes ftw!
* Eve, because I love being on the recieving end of a Blood Ritual.
Least favorite:
* Talon. Jeez, they nerfed his damage-dealing and tankability after the PvE event, but left his leeeeeroying script intact. St. Prince Rurik taught Talon everything he knows about rushing, and nothing about what he knows about retreating.
* Cynn (and her identical twin brother Orion). It's never, ever, a good idea to scatter the enemy. And that's all they do.

Another vote for Erys Vasburg. The man can consistently cry out prot spirit and RoF, what's not to love?

*drops another ballot marked with 'Erys Vasburg' into the box*
His timing for interrupts is godly...he doesn't even need to discriminate what enemy skill to interrupt if he can interrupt them all, more or less :|

eternal pho
Domination henchie =D. Interuppts so well.
Mithie
If I could, I'd make a guild with just me and 7 copies of Erys Vasburg. Within a month I'll be sitting at the top of the gvg ladder, completely undefeated.
Align
Mithie, Nightfall with its customizable henchmen might be something like that.

i never go without him.i always cry when im in luxon territory and have to take their crappy interrupter with his flatbow...

Eve! the first thing i ever saw when i first bought the game. plus i like her little mike tyson story of biting some girl's ear off.
it was a close race but 2nd place would have to be the HoH mage henchie. he gave me a nice run run in HoH a while back and to top it off he gave me a nice sigil at the end

Erys Vasburg alone warrants a purchase of Factions.
Count to Potato
Daeman, is way better then Erys, he actually dazes the caster

Besides the assassin hench of course (lol, I love the comment that their only skill is die), I was pretty disappointed with the ele hench once again. The only one I take with is earth for the ward. I don't take any melees when I hench, but the warriors seem just as mediocre. The ranger and mesmer hench really stepped it up this chapter.
Mrscoombes
I would rather fight next to a big giant tigerbird with a sword and shield jumping in the way of the sword that would of hit me, than be fighting with a guy that can interupt a spell by the enemy and...then...well...thats all he seems to be able to do... but thats just my opinion

Eve's popularity has some side effects. :P

Erys is a nice guy.
I like Orion-the-portable-Crematorium too. Not like he does anything good, he's just a nice guy too.

I really don't prefer any of them... although orion and cynn do make me mad... firestorm is not cool :O
CHUIU
Eve, most useful (yet suicidal) henchman ever. Close 2nd's are any mesmer henchman.

eve
good sense of humor

Try to keep it lore-based.

I like Daemon and Brutus the rot wallow for kurz (olny bc he looks cool)
Xanthar
I just have to love Lukas! Being his henchman is always a blast - Too bad he shares that unreasonable affection for Danika with the only other true MAN in Cantha, his kinsman Erys Vasburg.
Those two surely get my combined votes - Lukas for his limitless self-indulgence, Erys for is ungodly precision and creepy self-sacrificial tendencies

ScorchedTater
My pick is for Professor Gai. He's the hardest working healer out there. He takes damage while healing himself and everyone else. You don't find the same multi tasking from Alesia or her Canthan doppleganger, Sister Tai. Those two are complete daydreamers. First sight of damage and they're running their tails off. Professor Gai stays put and deals with it. Simply put, Gai is the Man.

Erys = #1
Argo = #2
Argo = #2
IllusiveMind
My favourite henchie is Talon, lore based. He has this unique attitude and I love the sound of Sun and Moon Slash. But AI speaking I love Daeman and Argo. They are always on my party...of course when I am on the Jade Sea.
icedragon981
Eve definatly, especially when I'm henching something on my monk and she comes through with the ole' BR. =)

Erys Vasburg. I can be lazy and let him do all the interrupting.

1. Eve - Blood ritual ftw
2. Daeman - A lifesaver when trying to cap something from an overpowered caster boss
3. Lukas - A real stance tank as opposed to all other brain damaged warrior henches

Aidan. When I was new to this game, he was the strongest NPC I've seen.
Racthoh
Erys for obvious reasons, he interrupts Reversal of Fortune when he feels like it.
Cynn. Incendiary Bonds, Fireball... <3. Sure she Firestroms but hey, scatter = enemy not attacking so the monks can heal the damage dealt before they scattered.
