I never understand why people say things can't be done with henchies...

This pic is of the Ice Caves Bonus:

You can do anything with henchies. People have known this for quite some time now.

That mission is ridicously easy, and henchies are infused

This has happend to me, but it was in Suijang District, Mikey was helping me do the mish. There was this monk that was really bitchy and said we'd never be able to complete the mission and left, suprisingly...we passed and we got masters. I PM'ed the monk after the mish and told him that we made it but he acused me of lying, it was funny "apparently" he had a stopwatch and timed the mission and said it was only at 13minutes. We finished the mission 16:45 minutes , it was weird, he just kept denying and denying ^^ It was funny, but it was his loss for leaving.

That mission is Ice Caves of Sorrow, not Iron Mines of Moladune.

And you can do all the bonuses and get all the Master rewards with henchmen. It's not a new thing. But congrats anyway.

Ya I meant Ice Caves, I fixed the post.

Not looking for grats or anything, just want to let the skeptics see that they are misinformed.

Henchies are awsome, my necro went through THK with bonus at lv 8 with a full hench team (basicly i did nothing and was lucky enough not the get perfect armour boss). Sry, not pic since comp died since then...guess youll have to take my word.

i did THK being the only monk, with no henchie monk depends on the party .

if the party actively try to avoid damage that mean

- if a squish caster get under fire he flee instead of taking hit.
- no double aggro.

then is pretty easy , other wise its hard.

nearly impossible when 2-3 people begin to take damage at same time.

I've soloed the Ice Caves bonus without henchmen on my Warrior and my Necromancer, so I'm not quite sure who is a "naysayer"... :shrugsshoulders:

I've monked THK as a fc healer, and yes, it's easy until multiple people start taking damage. When people aggro widely, it starts to hurt.

A few heartstopping moments, but mhenlo usually saved the day

I've been the only monk in THK, after the other monk left. No one wanted to restart the mission even though I asked, but we were all guildies except 2, but the tanks were set-up great and we had an amazing mesmer. No torch trick or anything else was used, we didn't camp the king either, it was half at each door and me running back and forth (no bonus taken either, lol). All I can say is thank Dwyna for heal party! Congrats to OP and everyone else who uses henchies too, they arn't completely useless

Everyone always seems to forget that someone had to use henchmen to beat every mission in the game when it was brand new...

I remember using henchmen to clear the Factions campaign on my Assassin, and I used mostly henchmen on every mission for my Tyrian characters. Really, once you learn how to "control" them, it's not hard. Hell, it's probably much easier now that we actually have some actual control commands and AI buffs for them...
