PLEASE can you stop Henchmen, and Heroes casting through stuff like Mistrust, Diversion, Guilt, Shame ect. It is beyond your control and not even microing can stop it, unless you somehow magically cancel ALL of your heroes skill bar from being used by itself.

I know they are stupid, retarded, whatever -- but the AI is in need of a drastic fix anyway, and THIS is one of those things needing of a fix.

P.S -- This suggestion is also directed at Hero Battles, and to anyone who uses Heroes, even in PvP.

The AI is lacking in multiple area, would be great to see them improved.

Henchies: only ANET can do something about them, and they work fine for me.

Heroes: just give them skills they can use properly.

yes they act dumb sometimes (running all the way to the radar limit and coming back with 1 gazillion foes after them, not following party, not fighting) but they cant be worst then the average pug.

Did you read the OP?
It wasn't about the builds, it's about how the AI reacts to certain problems, such as Mistrust on an offensive caster, say -- Elementalist, they cast through it, and make a big bomb explode your party.

Diversion -- They just cast through this and end up with a 60 disable right up their arse.

Probably if you stop heroes from doing that, them mosters will stop too.

Do you really want monsters to stop casting and attacking under such hexes?

Tyla · Mar 24, 2008, 03:10 PM // 15:10

Yes.

A: It demotes the pressure they cause ANYWAY.
B: Who is stupid enough to cast through Diversion anyway? Excluding Heroes, Henchies and Monsters.

The hero AI can be really stupid at times. They need this and someway to scatter from AoE.

I don't think it works like that. I'm still waiting on Dunkoro to run from a meteor shower.

/signed only if there was a chance that a hero/hench would not cast/do anything.

Example: Some caster gets Backfire thrown on them. They have xx% chance to decide to not cast any spells, or, they have xx% chance to not cast their next spell.

Anyone who was already casting a spell, I think.

On topic, sometimes Koss can be as aggro-happy as Rurik if set to Attack Mode.

That's merely someone who doesn't take notice of the battlefield.
Either that, or a really good mesmer.

If you ever play a mesmer in RA/AB, you'll know that actually GW players are stupid enough to cast/attack through stuff like this all the time. I don't see why the h/h need to be vastly more intellegent then the average PUG.
