I would've thought that someone would've brought this up before, but I didn't find it in search or in the index of ideas.

I tend to use Henchmen 90% of the time, unless I'm playing with friends or doing a really tough area. The henchmen AI is better now of course, but the main problem I get is with multiple henchies standing right next to eachother and getting killed by AoE. I know I can move them around with the flagging system, but wouldn't it great if you could activate a formation before you start? One that would allow them to spread out a bit. A lot of times I will look back and see both my monks and an ele standing on top of eachother, and getting torn up by SF or the like.

I was vanquishing Talus Chute last night, and ran into a lot of trouble with those pesky ice imps. They deep freeze you and then spam Maelstrom. If I could've spread them all out a bit, it would've cut down on the damage Maelstrom was doing.

I know a lot of you will say, "Don't play with henchies!" but I can't stand PUGs, and a lot of times I don't have any guildies to vanquish with, or a friend isn't online.

I'm no programmer, so I have no idea how hard this would be for Anet to do, but I know I would love this feature if it ever became available.
