    Best and worst are relative terms.   If I'm worried about aggro control, I leave Orion in the outpost and take Reyna.  That's because Orion's Firestorm attack is the only attack from any henchie that causes mobs to run and scatter, which draws aggro from other nearby mobs.  Not pretty.

    OTOH, if I want damage and don't want to lose my henchie teammates foolishly, I'll leave both henchie warriors home and take an all-caster team.  I do this often when farming the protector boss south of Augury Rock.  What happens there when you take henchie warriors is that - even when trying to pull - they'll often rush into a huge mob of Marrow Scarabs and Nest builders, and die within seconds.  Henchies healers rush into res them and they die even faster.  No fun having to res dead henchies all the time.

    Having all-caster henchie teams means that I control where they go and what they do a lot better than if I have warriors charging into mobs not even an uber human player would rush.

    Henchies are frequently better than inexperienced human players if you know how to use them.  They don't complain, don't quit, and always attack your target.

    *chuckles*

    I too have stopped taking warrior henchies out when I hunt with henchies.  They are a royal PITA and get both themselves and the healer killed every time.

    Much rather use casters and archer and healer.
