Quick Hero Question - Guild Wars Forums

Hey, just a quickie question.

Can the AI of Heroes understand a bonding build based on monk protection spells - I.e Life Barrier and Life Bond? Will they be able to understand to place one before the other, or will they try and place them all on party members making a strain occur on the energy?

Anybody know, or should I just try it out first?

They will not be able to bond on their own. They take it off soon after they cast. (They do this with most maintained enchantments) The only way would be to have it disabled and manually tell them to cast in the order you want.

Depending on what's hitting the characters, they'll use the two, but considering Life Bond redirects physical damage (ignoring the fact that it reduces said damage), they'd probably use Life Barrier first when in battle.

Of course, once the battle is over, they'll remove the enchantments. It's best to manually play the bonder for them by disabling the skills and forcing them to use it in the manner you want. This, however, will mean they won't recast if they're stripped.
