The Great DVDF Henchmen Event!

Generally Henchmen are utterly frustrating… they seem useless and they counteract everything that we work to accomplish. So I wonder, is that because their skills are horrendous? Is it because henchmen AI is simply terrible?  Or is it because they simply hate us? Well, after some short contemplation, we decided to find out. We know that we can’t solve the last issue, although it is likely the case, but we can certainly put to sleep the first two… so we conducted a little experiment to find out!! We loaded up nothing but builds a factions henchmen would have and took on Urgoz’s Warren.

After over two grueling hours we arrived at our conclusion. We decided that the skill bars the henchmen take just flat out suck. Despite our every attempt at coping with these utterly crippled builds and devising strategy to work around their blatant failings, we could not fell the beast… heck we didn’t even get to the beast! After getting all the way to room 7 and standing at the foot of the Maddened Wardens, the skills given to us by the henchmen simply wouldn’t cut it.  There wasn’t enough offense to kill the enemy healers, nor was there enough defense to hold off the impending doom while we attempted to kill said healers.

Take it from us… forget about henchmen. Find some heros, or better yet a friend to team up with, and then face the world of Guild Wars.  Henchmen aren’t worth your time.
