Guild Wars weekend

[Treesh]

I think you can solo with henchmen, but you need to go much slower and be very careful.  They can quickly get involved in a combat with a pack of mosters that will overwhelm them, and once the healer dies the mission is over.  One time I was able to salvage my mission because I had remembered to equip resurrection (one shot) as a skill and resurrected the healer, who then was able to revive the other four henchmen.

Very rarely would the monk henchmen die on me, but they would never heal those who needed it until after a fight was over. Oh, there was also the monk henchman who loved to group heal constantly and would end up healing the critters I was beating on as well. I fixed that though by using my secondary monk healing skills and never letting my health drop so the monk merc wouldn't cast the AoE heal. I did take my time while playing and never got involved in large fights (except for once, but I was a warrior and it wasn't a problem at all when I got swarmed by 5 critters at once), but apparently my slow style of play just doesn't work with the monk's AI. Every time I really needed the monk henchman, (s)he would just let me die and then refuse to resurrect. They were either out of mana or healing someone else who was barely hurt.
