Has anyone completed this quest w/henchies? I get all the way to the machine boss after clearing the area and end up running from binder to binder trying to kill them all at the same time. But, they seem to just spawn fast enought to keep me running in arround with one left. (pic included)
This quest would be very simple with a single human player but finding a pug sucks and takes forever. Any advice on how to defeat w/ henchies only?
Here is what Ive tried:
I tried bombing them with the kegs for the delay kill, but it did not damage them.
The big machines attacks damage the surrounding partols and furnace gaurds but do not seem to affect the binders
The Final Assault w/Henchies?

I got all that way too and felt so cheated. I had to quit because of the same lame reason.

Hey, you forgot to block out the mending icon, now I know one of the skills you use. I think I'll go and steal your build now.

Nod, and from the picture, I think your build is:
Mending, Sever Artery, Gash, Final Thrust, Galrath Slash....
And the possibles:
Healing Signet, Healing Hands.
Wait, isn't that the paladin premade?

Why on earth would you white out what skills you use? You ask for help but don't seem to want to offer any yourself.

Hmm. I'm guessing it doesn't matter, really.
While I'm sure eventually someone will figure out a build that will allow you to get all 3 down in time by sending the hench one way while you go another and then sprint for the 3rd (not a lot of time, no sir!) but even so...
To take down the > THREE < Djinn, with hench, even if you do manage to separate them and fight them 1-on-1... well I'm guessing the 1 or 2 builds that could pull that off won't be the same build that can take out all 3 Rage Binders in time.
You definitely earn /brag rights if you're the first to finish FA with hench only.

No. Because a 24 year old engineer does not want random noobs who have not even played there class hijacking the thread becuase they don't like a skill setup and want to feel better about being not being able to beat there mirror.
Back to the topic
Maybe an ele w/ some long lasting AoE skills can cast and run to the next one hoping that the final AoE hit will kill it while they run to the next one.

You vastly overrate Djinn, killing them wouldn't be a problem, since hench actually gather in one place, so damage would be spreaded. Now, killing Rage Binders is just... Meh, I simply couldn't do it, always a split second too late. And that was assuming I run to 3rd before 2nd was killed and while he was being finished off by firestorm.

I was able to do it as an elem. It was frustrating and I was about to quit before making one more run at it. Basically relied on the hench finishing them off as I was using the DoT's on the next in line.

Degen is the key. Since you are a W/Mo with a sword you likely have sever artery. Drop one down most of the way, sever artery, hop to the next, weaken and sever artery, hit the third and kill. Then return to the first and finish him. Sever artery stops them from getting natural regen. You still have to be pretty fast about it.
Any way you go about it as a warrior it is going to be extremely difficult with henchies.

Yet somehow you manage to bring up your credentials AND make a loller of a grammar mistake in the same setence. If you want to sound smart, you've got to do better than "I'm an engineer." Engineer.... Congrats? Want a cookie?

so, anyway.. shut up and talk about killing the binders as a warrior. I'm sitting in game right now at the binders with my 60% DP (sorrow's flame/fist on Mhenlo and Lina.. hmm), my 7 hench with 60% DP, and an axe W/R.
Things I've tried:
- running around in circles killing them, last one gets back up as I'm killing the 3rd.
- killing one, running over to the other and just hitting him normally (no skills, so I have full adrenaline), going back to the first one that I killed, normally get there right before he gets up. Then I spike him with all of my skills and run to the last one, yet the other one gets up when I have him about halfway down.
- hitting one to near-death and running onto the next one hoping Dunham degens the first one to death. (Dunham sucks -.-)
anyway, looking pretty hopeless right now, I've got about 236 health and Mhenlo and friends get killed in 1 sorrow's flame/fist..

Killed the golem with 6 hencheman and a level 19 W/R and a pet.
25 respawns and a lot of luck.
after 20 respawns it became kinda funny running in circles with 6 hencheman killing them over and over again, slowly getting faster every time, than we tried a split up strategy.
I was protective smiting and we split up after killing one, the hencheman all follow the warrior. Of course the split up groups take a lot longer, but they can go back and kill the respawned one.
However hencheman AI bloody fails against djins!
They seperated easily.

FINALLY, that was the longest I ever spent trying to do one damn thing in this game. I got really freaking lucky and the 'have Dunham degen them to death' thing worked. I ran to the first one, weakened him, called target on the next one, and right as I finished killing the second one the first one died. Third one went down fast and that was the end of that.
The Flame Djinns didn't even take as long to kill, even with my massive death penalty and low health. Devona and Thom grouped right next to me and then I just Disrupting Chopped and spiked their ass. (Devona's knockdown helped, too)

Congrats! It can be done. Time for me to make a second pass down THEIRE.

I've tried it twice. First time I couldn't kill the rage binders fast enough with my knockdown based build meant for taking out the normal summit guys, so I had to give up.
Second time I took an Arcane Echo nuking build, managed to kill the rage binders, managed to kill two of three flame djinn with 60% DP by drawing them away, got to the last one.
Died trying to take out the third, three henchies left alive (Lina, Aidan, Dunham), then something rediculous happened that would be hilarious if I didn't lose two hours of playing because of it.
The invulnerable NPC that gives you the kegs was in between the djinn and the henchies. The djinn was apparently too stupid to float three inches to the side to get past the NPC and Lina was too stupid to do the same to attempt to resurrect.
Thus, after all that, I got stuck there and couldn't complete it. Left the game on an hour just in case to no avail.
I'm not taking that quest with henchmen again, and I'm extremely disappointed that after months of people complaining about it Arenanet continues to make quests the henchmen can't handle and doesn't effectively deal with the game-breaking bugs in the places where they do work (or where you manage to surpass their uselessness). Having henchmen in the game was a great idea to get people who don't always want to group to play the game and it's too bad they're wasting it due to all these issues.
