Well, the henchies are a bit of a problem. First, I like them and use them all the time. Usually with one or two other real people. We should be able to customize their skills and why do they not have 8 skills. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to give rebirth to Menlo. Basicly, I would like the henchies to be not just a stop gap for not being able to find another real player. A leverl 17 henchie should be almost as good as a level 17 player.
And the AI for each henchie should be different. I've noticed that if you have 2 warrior zashion they do exactily the same thing and move exactly the same way as if they were cut from a cookie cutter and noticed this in the new factions area too. Its like they took a short cut and only made one warrrior but let you pick him twice. I like the consept of Stephen or Little Thom who have completly diferent playing styles and personalities. It does seem strange that the mobs got smarter but not the henchies.
And it is easier to control them with 2 people, one can scout ahead and agro while the other by constantly moving back and forth can actually keep the henchies from running into the fray which can work like a stay command.
