| Henchmen and Skill-Capping. |
|
|
|
I know a lot of people don't like using Henchmen for anything, but for Skill Capping they are perfect. They'll never leave and are reliable damage dealers. Alesia (Mhelo) and Lina work good together, you just have to take your time.
Henchmen follow targets and have self heals. they are by no means better than a well organized skill cap group, but considering most Capping groups are pugs with selfish players, it's a time saver to just take the henchies.
the hardest area i had Skill Capping, was getting Soul Leech from Abbadon's Mouth, you need to run across a river of fire, bump into several patrols of Hydra's and other miserable mobs, it's well off the primary mission route, so parties will never rarely want to do the extra to get into the north-western area of the map... so, i just took henchmen, hardest problem i had was Willa at the last ether seal, took about 2 minutes to kill her. total time spent capping was 30 minutes... you could spend that time looking for a group!~
most other areas are a lot simpler.
if you're frustrated, just bring them, i'm sure you'll find good success with them.

Why don't you just get ur guild to help you with skill-capping ?
I always do that, but then i also help them when they need a skill.

lol, i often do get guildies in on it, but people have different agendas and timezones ;) and not everyone has a helpful guild.
All lies and jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.

That's exactly what I do. Rather than waste my time with PUGs or trying to find ppl willing and able to come, I just grab a full load of henchies and set out.

exactly, I will post in guild chat once that i am doing such and such, if anyone comes up, fine, if not, i grab henchies and go. if i stand in a town too long, i start ranting at all the people screaming lfg endlessly... i finally tell them to 'grab henchies and go, you could be done by now'

yeah....hench...sometimes i love them, sometimes i hate them. I use them a lot, for same reasons as you but also for this reason: in almost every random team you ll find 1 or more ppl who are even more stupid as hench and blow up the whole mission!!
But i still prefer a real team with guildies. I cant wait for the alliance with AMP, it will be hopefully much easier to make a team then.....
Btw, necro rules......:) you can do almost everything in game with hench....

i've had problems beating the RoF mission with henchies, but i can see abbadons mouth and hells precipice being fairly easy with henchies.
the problem i had at RoF was cynn casting firestorm and the boss running under the cover of the ether seal and our team agroing a bunch of jades >_<

henchmen are really good for capping AND doing missions AND running you to places :P you just gotta take your time. like people would LFGs in Ice Caves of Sorrow, but you can just take henchmen and do it! henchies can all run you to granite and copper easily. it just takes time.
