Yes, the AI is terrible. But if you're burning through clovers and powerstones H/H'ing, (sorry to be blunt but...) you're doing it wrong. Many people, myself included H/H'ed all of GWEN, without using one powerstone or clover. The only thing I couldn't H/H was Duncan (tried once and the H/H ai was too much to overcome).

That being said, I really wish they'd scrap heros and force people to group again. GW used to be so much more social.

Hero's and Titles killed the social aspect of GW. Grinding with H/H, fun fun fun!
Alright, I should clarify, by burning through I meant I used 8 clovers and 3 powerstones. That to me is a high price. And I cant blame ya for saying I'm doing wrong, but I'm not. I have been playing since the original release, put 2500 hrs on my acct and done almost all the pve content in the game many times. The use of powerstones was in the long dungeons, I was on last level of Rrager's when zhed brought 20 enemies on me, at the res booth. -60 came very fast... Using the stone was my only option short of doing it again. Same thing happened to me twice in Frostmaw's dungeon (4th lvl), except this time it was mhenlo's kiting that brought not one but two large groups back to me. Again -60 was rapidly attained. I could understand if it was my builds or the way I was doing it, I would adapt and try again, but it's my H/H that are acting ridiculous and running miles away from me. I dont consider this to be my fault, as I always use flags & keep them on guard to keep them under control.

I do not get a ton of time to play these days, so I find very frustrating to have my slow, careful attempts ruined by retarded H/H.

I understand your frustration, that H/H ai is terrible compared to the enemy ai.

I'm having to actually think about carrying res again. Not saying you can't finish GWEN with it as is, I have, and dungeons to boot. But there's a pretty big drop in healing ability and a big increase in leeroy ability. Especially when you see them standing there with a sliver of health and they don't actually cast. Or maybe they're just waiting for natural health regen to kick in. Maybe mhenlo's just too busy flirting with Lina? Hmm, I may just take Cynn along and see if that straightens him out

I am not sure if it is about the HH AI, but when I start a new char in faction yesterday, on tutorial campagin attacking matrid(sp?), the two hench just stay behind and left me solo the mob. I remember I was not earlier.

I have noticed that in GW:EN, Mhenlo is always the first person to run to the front of our formation and wand an enemy when I call a target. Not cool. He loves running up to stand near enemies, even if I flag the henchmen back, flag the heroes forward, and then release the hench flag after aggro is settled around the heroes, Mhenlo will run right up near the warriors and take hits from the enemies, while the other hench casters are smart enough to stay a few steps back from the enemies and not get chopped up.

I have also noticed that Dunkoro will always cast Dismiss Condition or Mend Ailment on a warrior with 450 health who is blinded instead of healing the caster with 80 health who is crippled and under attack when Dunkoro should be casting Healing Whisper or Word of Healing or some other heal skill on the nearby caster since their health is so low. He didn't used to obssessively use remove conditions when a heal is more necessary, and party members die much more often with condition removals equipped on him because it's his favorite skill now.

Devona, although she's been this way since Nightfall, will run very far away from flag range, to the edge of the radar screen, to chase an enemy, and it usually takes a couple of flag re-plants where the rest of the team is to get her to stop chasing an enemy and come back to where the rest of the team has been standing while she was off running a commando mission by herself.

I haven't tried any of the GW:EN heroes, and these three examples I gave are the ones that bother me the most and happen the most frequently. I don't enjoy the fact that Mhenlo and Devona act more like Kilroy Stonekin and that Dunkoro seems to have spent too much time getting monking tips from Alesia. Please fix the AI issues that have been brought up!
