People often complain about how ineffective henchies are, yet others praise the effectiveness of them. I was wondering:
What's the biggest accomplishment you've had with your H/H?
I personally did Frostmaw's on HM without having to resort to consumables. I was pretty happy with that. However the drops were lousy lol :P
Also did a lot of vanquish's that I was pretty proud of like: Snake's Dance, Dreadnought's Drift and Lornar's Pass without having to use consumables either (although it was a close call lol).
How about you?
Your biggest H/H accomplishment

My best acomplishment would only probably be vanquishing parts of EoTN, I usually avoid henchies as much as possible except when completing a campaign.
Sprites
frostmaw's quite hard , done it too , had a few wipes 
fenix
Frostmaw Hard Mode.
Me, Faer, 3 heroes. I kid you not. We have screenshots.

Vanquished all lands of Tyria (except Majesty Rest and Peridtion Rock) and half of Elona.

Killamus
Wiped in Northern Wall, NM.
No, really, probably completing all of Proph in NM.
I cheated in Arguary Rock though, I used heroes there instead of just henchmen.
Ironically enough, I've found that proph henchmen do a better job then my heroes. They seem to avoid using attacks like the plague, yet run headlong into a wall of monsters twice their level to cast death nova on a minion with 95% HP, or to get someone from 80% HP to 81% HP. My heroes, that is. At least the henchmen don't follow me around half the fricking map while pinged at the beginning of the map just to cast death nova/protective spirit while I have shadow form on.

My biggest H/H success isn't all that spectacular - Vizunah Square (Local side, in normal mode; all henchmen on the Foreign side) as a half-assed Ritualist who did little more than cast [[Life] and [[Bloodsong], with the occasional [[Spirit Rift] when bored. Oh, and calling the Afflicted Ritualists, of course. (done less than an hour before this post, by the way :P)
Zodiac Meteor
H/H Gate of Pain HM, it was pretty easy surprisingly.
Bryant Again
Probably my first, and this is something I always reference when talking about pugs and henchies. After 7 failed pugs at THK back in the day, I just picked up 7 of the henchies and won it.
That was the turning point in my pugging career.

All of elona minus the desolation (when i find motivation to pve i will get it done though) and all of tyria vanq'ed with h/h.
I know big woop. Cantha eventually ^^

Broad Head Arrow, Savage Shot, Sloth hunter shot, body shot, finish him, rapid fire, renew life... something like that. might have replaced sloth hunter for some other PvE-only skill. Don't remember.
MM was in most areas, but not all. Rit was channeling/resto rit because splinter is awesome. Don't recall what elite my monk had... UA is what I use nowadays. Think I used WoH...
EDIT : I think I added in Pain Inverter instead of sloth hunter shot sometimes.
Mortal Amongst Mere Gods
I H/H'd pretty much everything, NM and HM. Only missions I didn't H/H were the super-hardcore ones like Sanctum HM, GoM HM, Dzagonur HM, etc. I H/H'd all of my vanquishes. All of them.

frostmaw and vloxen in hm xD
Marty Silverblade
Probably some random hard vanquishes or legendary guardian. Nothing really exciting.
Skye Marin
Beat Duncan the Black, NM. I did the Swap/SoLS trick as an E/A. I was the corpse. Took me a while, and I was talking them through it out loud by the end.

I got Legendary Guardian, Vanquisher and Master of the North with H/H and without consumables.
Also won HoH many times with just H/H ^_^.

Rotscale and joko's domain I guess.

I finished Slaver's Exile with H/H, and I'm half done with it in Hard Mode H/H as well. =)
snaek
i didn't think h/h was a big deal? i assumed many people got their titles through h/h?
are you guys saying you many people pay for runs or got help from a more experienced player?

Went out to Turai's procession on my Survivor ele on a double XP for elite skill caps weekend. I went hunting for Korr the Living Flame, the [searing flames] djin boss. THE H&H widow maker, the AoE nuker of death... the A-Hole who's ended 3 of my other survivors. I took Gwen with FC hard res and assorted mesmer stuff like guilt, frustration ect. I had Jin set with BHA, sloth hunters D-Shot and savage. I had vekk set for wards and earth, I was running earth too. I had Herta, Odurra mhenlo and khimm too. I got lucky and Korr only spawned with 1 crag, the rest were mesas. He still went down hard. I sent jin in with BHA flashing and Gwen from another angle with Guilt. Jin missed and went down in 1 hit, but gwen diverted SF on the next shot. Vekk set up his wards and burned his sig on jin while I began unloading as much earth crap as I could(I had packed Assassin defenses just in case stuff went very wrong) The crag fired sandstrorm but we weathered it out in the wards, vekk had HP iirc. Gwen went down when liquid flame recharge, jin burned her sig, and managed to land a BHA I had gwen throw out frustration. By now AoE from myself, Herta and vekk had killed the crag and most of the mesas so we focused all wands and attacks at Korr. I was whooping and cheering the whole way, this glowing RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO had ended my prior survivor attempts and he was dying. I took his [searing flames] and went on to legendary survivor.
Lishy
Guardian of Cantha H/H
That includes eternal grove.
Only exception is i had a leaver sync their H/H for the two-party missions.

Helix Dreadlock
Idk, questing through Vabbi and going through Dzagonur Bastion NM. Not too big a deal, but I dont H/H a lot of hard stuff lol. Btw, I've always remembered H/H'ing Eternal Grove-HM being a major accomplishment.
Hanging Man
A few days ago I was doing some quest in Hm in GWEN near Sacnoth Valley.
and we aggro'd a lot more enemies than we should have.
but I was surprised to see we actually came out victorious and with no DP!
Henchmen arn't so bad

I got to gwamm with h/h alone. My greatest accomplishment with h/h had to be Vloxen HM. That dungeon was rediculous!
Daesu
More for heroes than henchies. Solo my 2 accounts in ZaiShen challenge and got 12k factions per day from it by controlling 2 characters, and 2 heroes, with 2 keyboards at the same time.
Also 6-heroes through all 3 protectors (working on guardian now), all EOTN dungeons, vanquished some areas in EOTN,...blah blah...with my second account often smashing on 2 keyboards at once.

Almost got "I'm Very Important" with mostly just H/H plan on going much further lol.
BoondockSaint
Ghost Dog
I've done a lot with H/H, and the EoTN henchman are especially good.
Copenhagen Master
Gates of Pain HM, Shards of ORR ,Vanished all three lands with H/H, and actually did Slavers dungeons in HM... tried doing Duncan==FAILED LOL. This of course was before I knew you could do them in normal mode and still fight Duncan in HM 
. If would of know that, I would of taken the easy route haha
. If would of know that, I would of taken the easy route haha
Nessar
I'd say vanquishing half of Tyria, which I havent finished. H/H'ing most of the end of nf, esp Gate of Pain which everyone says is hard..but I dont find it to be hard >.>. That's pretty much it...
