Additionally, whenever I flag the henchies so they're out of range, and then solo the boss, I get around 4 drops from him. Sometimes they were all white, sometimes it was some whites and a gold, often times it was a scroll, salvageable armor, and some gold.
The boss has to be at full health and the henchmen names have to be greyed out, but it works.
Henchies only reduce drop rates when they're in range of whatever is dying.
So you're suggesting to take all the henchies (or, I presume, heros) you need to get near the boss, then get them out of the way while you kill the boss himself?
Is this Nightfall only or is it now in all the campaigns?
