If only these skills were available in pre-searing... anyone figured out whom they're named after? ^_^ --Falconeye (talk) 08:30, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

I can't say that these are really great henchmen for Codex. I understand that they are not meant to replace players but their builds are a bit too basic. First of all they are lacking an elite skill and except for the elementalist have only 6 skills and the builds they have can be more efficient at first glance, even for Codex. One thing I am also wondering about is why they bothered introducing new henchmen for a sealed deck format when they could have used heroes instead. Da Mystic Reaper (talk) 12:53, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
There are some difficulties associated with re-enabling the Heroes in PvP. According to Joe Kimmes, such a thing would require a large QA pass over their skills to ensure there aren't any unforeseen interactions or bugs, as they were removed from PvP prior to several updates aimed to boost their effectiveness. Thus, the return of this feature is hardly possible without investing the time of additional ArenaNet's QA team members, which would basically mean distracting them from their main responsibility of testing Heart of Thorns.
