Farming with Henchs, yes or no?
r0cki
Does farming with henchs reduce the possibility of green drops?
Snograt
Not as such, but obviously with a full party of henches, if the green DOES drop, you only have a 1 in 8 chance of it being assigned to YOU.

All the leet players farm with henchies, using their UlTi-MeNt builds.
You get mad drops that way.

It is not a tolerable way to farm but it does work. I did it alot when I was heavily playing my assassin. If your character is an super build and you can make more then 50% of the damage on an enemy each time. Drops with henches aren't so bad. It's usally 40% more money though. Anyone notice that? More cash drops when you have henches.

That's because you see less of the solid loot, but coins always drop, so you see a higher amount maybe
Beside that I haven't really noticed anything different about the drops.

Maybe you should check the warrior section under the campfire.
I'd have to say no to henches when it comes to farming, unless you wanna farm greens by yourself or something.

Henchies ==> you need a bigger group, hence fewer drops
Henchies ==> you can leave right away, no waiting around to assemble a group
I.e., henchie farming can be just as profitable and also more fun.
My wife has gotten some awesome greens farming SF with henchies (as well as a whole lot of blechhy greens, of course); I think I owe my Rago's Staff and Kindlerock to that habit of hers, for example, and I got her a Bortak's Bone Cesta when we were out together with henchies.
But obvioiusly this only applies to places where you need a group to farm, and you can also take henchies. SF is the best example I know of, but I'm not that far through Factions yet.

Henchies = Their just like human players, except for they don't leave junk on the ground, they pick up everything.
Ranger Rog
Apart from money that is, you have to pick that up for the lazy buggers and they still share it
