Dunham, Enchanter Henchman[ | ]
Nation: Ascalon
Profession: Mesmer
Armament: Staff
Dunham is likely just another character who has decided to follow Prince Rurik across the Shiverpeaks. From his dialogue and quotes, it would seem that Ascalon was also his home.
He is available for hire as a henchman from Yak's Bend onwards.
Location[ | ]
- Shiverpeak Mountains (all towns and outposts)
- Kryta (all towns and outposts)
- Maguuma Jungle (all towns and outposts)
- Crystal Desert (all towns and outposts)
- Ring of Fire Islands (all towns and outposts)
Skills used[ | ]
- Drain Enchantment
- Empathy
- Ether Feast
- Hex Breaker
- Imagined Burden

- Resurrection Signet
- Shatter Hex
From Dragon's Lair on, and in Hard Mode:
- Power Block (replaces Imagined Burden)
Evaluation[ | ]
With his hexes, he tends to be a priority target of enemy monster groups (more so than Orion, Alesia, or Claude). You can use this as a distraction or as a trap. Since most of the strongest mesmer skills require a human's intuition, timing, and strategy, some players feel he is somewhat less effective than the other henchmen.
Pros
- Has Empathy, an excellent damage dealing spell against computer-controlled opponents.
- He is the only henchman who can drain enchantments from enemies and shatter hexes on allies. These skills are very useful against enemy mesmers, necromancers, and monks.
- Dunham's skills deal armor-ignoring damage.
- Power Block can shut down any caster that has their majority of skills in one attribute which can be quite effective
Cons
- He tends to use Imagined Burden often, which is not terribly useful overall in PvE. Sometimes he even casts it on stationary targets such as Dune Burrowers.
- Shatter Hex and Drain Enchantment are not used in an effective manner. Dunham will cast them seemingly at random instead of saving them for vital cases such as Spiteful Spirit or Mark of Protection, for example.
Dialogue[ | ]
- "Things certainly have changed after the Searing. Life has become a constant struggle for survival. However one must never abandon ones[sic] sense of pride and dignity."

Notes[ | ]
- Although he is a Mesmer henchman, he dances like a Warrior.
- Although he is called Enchanter Henchman, he has no enchantments. This name is likely referring to Mesmer Enchanter armor.
- In literature, movies and games enchanters are male magicians. In Everquest, for example, the 'Enchanter' class is an expert in crowd control.
