Sometimes i go exploring or questing alone with henches, sometimes with friends and a couple of the henches. They are a great addition if you're a small group of friends that just want to go exploring PvE. There are some commands i would like to add to them for some better control. Leading a group where all is "REAL" players you can tell them what to do and not to do, but the henches you can't.

Here's a few commands that could work.

* Don't attack until target is called.
(Sometimes you want to pull a small group in a crowded area without the henches storming in as soon as the foe casts a spell)

* Attack when attacked
(Like they act now. Just for resetting to normal.)

* Stay put. Don't move!!!!
If you want to scout alone or in a smaller group or with assistance of a friend, you should be able to tell them to stay at one place and not move until you say so.

* Move!!!
Letting them know it's safe to move on to the rest of the group.

* Follow target ally!
(As the leader of the group you're not always the first one heading in to battle. The warrior usually does that job, and while monks are hard to get by sometimes you would like the monk henchman to stay in range of your warrior while you wait in the distance for the warrior returning to a clear safe area to fight in.)

Exploring PvE is really nice and picking up a stranger when your friends arn't online is sometimes worse than bringing a hench. They can ruin a whole day by not doing anyhing you tell them to do, or even LEAVE when you least want it. This will defenetly make me less frustrated.

Impriving the AI would defenetly be good too. some regions are poisonous or even hot and make you burn walking there. There's no other way around and a "sane" player would not step in those areas too long. The henches on the other hand gladly stops there for a picnic and wont move to safe areas unless you are a fair bit away from it.

The commands above will defenetly improve some players idea of strategy and teaching them the importance of giving good commands and following them!...
