Feedback talk:User/Erasculio/Viewing henchmen skillbar

I find this slightly annoying myself, and I end up looking them up on the Wiki. However even just listing the skills wouldn't be enough for me, since I don't know each one off the top of my head. I would like it even more if you could get them to "ping" their builds in the team channel, so you can see everything in a snapshot, complete with concise descriptions and attribute levels. This way if you like it, you can save the build for yourself, too. Xiaquin 17:47, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Both of these ideas are fantastic! I would love to see something such as this implemented. --MushaTalk 02:09, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I agree that this would be very helpful. However, I worry about the cost relative to the benefits.

The importance of PvE henchmen has been drastically diminished since the introduction of 7H, but it's obviously still relevant for Proph and Factions, esp. for new players. I put together a list of henchbars from EotN, but it's a bigger pain for Factions/Proph (since the availability, level, attributes, and even skills vary from outpost to outpost).

Would it be easier/cheaper for ANet simply to change the hench interface to mimic that of heroes? Specifically: allow them to be flagged in spots 1-2-3, allow their skill bar to be displayed, have them show up in inventory window. The only difference: weapons and skills would be grayed-out (cannot adjust them).

If that's not possible...perhaps we can put together (on the wiki) outpost subpages showing comparative skill bars for each outpost.  — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 18:08, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. I have had to come to wiki, search henchmen pages, use my heroes to replicate their builds, re-order skills for better overall understaning and then save all henchmen builds in my computer. I believe that a single click showing their bars saves a lot of work. Even the wiki pages formats list skills one by one instead of putting a build together.
