Ring of Fire Mission

1) Forming a group of 8, no monk. Being bitched at by a player who leaves, because there's no monk.

2) Re-forming the group, taking Lina. Being bitched at by a player saying I'm a noob because I don't know what I'm doing since I'm not telling people what builds to bring.

3) Re-forming one last time, the only monk being Lina, and successfully completing the mission and bonus on the first try. Oh, and the elementalist nuker left before we went through the front door.

These stories are always fun. We had two ragequitters (they didn't like getting hit with siege equipment) at Ice Caves yesterday and still finished with no problem.

Henchies seem to be underrated in PVE, when in fact 9 times out of 10 they beat a PUG group hands down :P

because all of those that complain that henchies suck, suck themselves, because they can't lead at all!

I just did Abaddon's Mouth with no monks at all. It was ALOT of fun, because there was always a sense of possible failure. Bonus and mission on the first try.

2 days ago, i needed to do dragon's lair with my ranger. spent 10 minutes looking for a group. No one wanted anything to do with a ranger, so i Henchy it. I've never had such an easy time on that mission before... : ). the henchies rocked, talk about focus fire.

I did the same dragon's lair with my ranger and i also henched most of the kryta had a easy time because I didn't spend 5-10 minutes looking for a group.

Since monks are rare on the fire islands I've taken the two monk hench each time. They do work well and do a better job than most human healers. The only problem is their stupidity to follow warriors into battle. It's worse when they decide to res a fallen party member while the team takes damage. I hope they do improve the healer hench in factions.

Speaking of hench in factions the interupter hench is a great idea, gg anet!

My friend and I henched our way through all quests and most missions, and neither of us are monks. If you take it slow and easy you can get through it

henchies are quit manageable when you play ranger or warrior... with monk or ele henchies are pure pain

Lol... I just did like 10 runs in the RoF island to try to cap healing hand. Was fighting a huge group of breeze keepers. Cynn died... Breeze keeper casted migrain on both menlo and lina.... and then, yup you guessed it, they both decide to cast a 16 sec restore life in the middlee of battle on cynn.
