First off, and most important, questing only with henchmen means you are the leader. This is important and should not be dismissed. The success of the mission lies solely on your ability to lead a group. If you tend to be the type that is rash, run in the middle and argo every group within a 400-meter radius, then soloing with henchmen might not fit your temperament.
The effective henchmen leader understands that your group will not win on sheer brute power. The fact is, compared to a normal PUG, you are woefully underpowered. While you, as a group are underpowered, you as an individual have enormous power about Guild Wars Gold. The fact is that your main weapon is not a bow, a sword, or a staff, but instead it is your henchmen. They are your weapon and it is up to you to wield them accordingly about Guild Wars Gold.
Wield them accordingly? What does that mean? Some obvious things: you attack the smallest groups that you can, picking them off in a kind of guerilla warfare style. After a battle you rest, let everyone recharge. You pick henchmen that will be effective in the area that you are trying to go through - not every henchman is appropriate for every area (I will go into selecting henchmen a little later on.)
Remember too, that your henchmen are your weapon, which means that you, unlike playing with a PUG group, are the most important player on the field. Your health and safety are what guarantees success about Guild Wars Gold. If it appears that things are going badly for your group, then run even if it means sacrificing some or even all of your henchmen. The fact is that there have been very few situations where I have not been able to revive every fallen henchman, but my henchmen have won very few battles without me (during the time that it takes for you to be revived often times your group will be over run).
