I have not played eq for awhile now and returning my question is I am aware eq now has mercenaries - henchmen. How do they work?? I guess you can start them at level 1 and your off, do they come with their own gear and equipment and buffs? Is the equipment they use any good or would I better off buying them better things and what happens when they die or I log off the game and return are they suspended and able to call them back ?? I can see SOE still doesn't give much information typical. Am I better off if I am going to solo making 4 tank mercenaries and 1 cleric ???
