Heh, I've had almost the opposite happen. After wasting my res sig on Alessia, she went and ressed Little Thorn. Little Thorn wasted his sig on Stephan. Stephan wasted his sig on Reyna. By then, Alessia had finally recovered enough energy to res the last 2 henchies. I guess my warriors got impatient, which is a shame since Alessia dies from tanking so much. Damn it! Stay behind me!!!!.

at mineral springs, every henchie just stood there near my body doing nothing, just being pummeled to death not even healing themselves, :/ was a pain to cap SoJ

I pretty much henched every mission and quest in Factions with my Assassin. I tried using a longbow to pull the mobs, but seemed like every time the warrior hench would run in and die or need rescuing.

I eventually learned to slowly back up towards the group I wanted to pull until I aggro'd, then ran forward away from the enemies. This would usually stop the warrior hench from charging in on a suicide run.

I'll take henchies over players anyday. Especially in Factions..

Rezzing behaviour of henchies definitely needs tweaking. Healers used to be very gun-shy about rezzing you if you died near a mob. Now if you or a henchie dies right in the middle of a mob, they just run straight in, usually getting slaughtered in the process. As for the rest of the henchies, using their rez sigs during battle is much improved, but they shouldn't use their rez sigs when no hostiles are in range unless nobody alive has a hard rez. But now, they do that all the time. I, or one of the monk henchies, can be in the middle of casting a rez when another henchie will use a rez sig. Now I have to try to race them.

Another henchie oddity I've noticed of late--warriors will often run away from the mob when their health is low, then just stand there instead of using their heal sig. They stand looking confused, like, why am I here again? To use your heal sig, idiot!

Incidentally, I've never had a problem henching that quest, and last night I got spanked because the hench just kept doing really stupid stuff. And Zunraa sat around running back and forth between me and some invisible point.

Healers aren't res'ing as fast either I noticed.
