If I can take 3 henches with me?

Which ones would you take? As Rt/N

Well I did take Warrior/Healer/ (Assasin or Shock)

But I think I'll go with Healer/Shock/Spirit

Melee tanks are nice, but when doing hard missions (Lost son, last stand) they are just charging in and aggroing everything. So I think range will be nice

Also why would I take Illusionist hench? Anything specific he is good for?

deadly fighter spirit at low levels, once you get up to places where you need 8 people and agro is important don't ever EVER touch an assassin hench, all they do is agro everything.

I see... Deadly would be assasin right?

Yes shes like, oh look my group is fighting these monsters, I'll just teleport on over to that huge group of 20 monsters then run back to my group, wtf wtf why is everyone dying!

henchmen AI makes me cry.

dont take human assassins either
75% of them take all the aggro and get their asses handed to them. damn naruto haats

Try the earth henchie - apparently he's actually very good with use of skills and such. *shrugs*

Ranger/War/Monk good balance in damage dealing and hardiness.

Spirit will be handy next. unless you are a spirit Ri

Never take Lukas. He brags way to much. I'm suprised he doesn't cause people to hit there screens.

The illusion henchman(lo-sha) lays some nice degen on the monsters, though.

I *love* the earth henchie
he repeatedly casts Ward Against Melee
combines well with range henchies (and me - a monk) as we can all just stand in the ward

Earth hench is great but at the stage he is at, deadly fighter and spirit are amazing. Honestly I tried it with a healer, she doesn't do anything. She seems to wait until you have 5% life remaining to try to do anything then you die so if you're still fighting she'll try to res you, if you're not fighting she'll just stand there forever. The spirit spammer will use flesh of my flesh and res if you need it and will also use shelter/union for nice damage reduction.
