Heroes in these formats were a bit of a problem, as they sometimes put players at a disadvantage if they didn't have access to heroes.<br /><br />These aren't just any henchmen, though. This new group comes straight from the Guild Wars community, courtesy of the <a href="http://www.guildwars.com/events/contests/henchmen_skill_bar_contest/">henchmen skill bar contest</a>. Players were invited to submit henchmen skill bar suggestions via <a href="http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Dizhou">Dizhou</a>, a temporary NPC placed in the Great Temple of Balthazar until the contest closed on September 10th. <a href="http://www.arena.net/">ArenaNet </a>chose forty skill bars from these submissions. Each of the lucky winners will receive a henchman named after them (or by them, if they preferred) and an everlasting henchman tonic that temporarily transforms them into their namesake.<br /><br />Check out the winners in both the <a href="http://www.guildwars.com/events/contests/henchmen_skill_bar_contest/gvg_winners.php">Guild vs. Guild</a> and <a href="http://www.guildwars.com/events/contests/henchmen_skill_bar_contest/heroes_ascent_winners.php">Heroes' Ascent</a> categories, and congratulations to all of you!<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/10/02/guild-wars-announces-winners-of-the-henchmen-skill-bar-contest/">Guild Wars announces winners of the henchmen skill bar contest</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 02 Oct 2009 09:00:00 EST.
