Drop rates: Affected by H/H?

(Hypothetical) I'm farming, but in order to get to the place I want to farm I need to clear out mobs that are hard to kill solo or a pain in the butt to kill. If I were to have my Heroes/Henchies kill all of the things, the flag them back out of the radar (like at the zone in) would my drop rates be effected by them?

(This question is asked to get a better understanding for H/H and how they effect drop rates)

Technically, no. If they are in range, they only take their share of drops, like human players would.

If they're out of range, WAY out of range, then they won't get a share, much like when you're clearing a zone with humans and they don't get a share when out of range.

Of course, if the mobs all died with H&H in range, they'd get their share of it.
