I just attempted to hench my way through Mineral Springs this morning. Due to general henchmen stupidity (and those huge Avicara mobs), I soon amassed a large amount of DP. After we managed to win another battle, I stepped on one of their traps and started bleeding. My health went down fast since I had so little, and Alesia didn't heal me. We were out of battle and I was the only one with low health, so there was no reason at all she should have let me bleed to death. It's obvious that only a flaw in the healer henchmen's programming could have caused such negligence. ANet, if you read this, please look into this problem. Has anyone else noticed times when the healer henchmen seem to have problems like this?

I was wondering if it was just me... the last couple of nights we've had real problems with all the monk henchies. Lina wasn't even rezzing at all at one point, just standing there like a lemon. Maybe a bug ? They seem to have got extra-special-useless since the last update...

I havn't noticed it at all o.o

Reason? I'm the monk -_-

I'm pretty sure that I've heard of many other situations like this one, and that you're not the only one. I understand the frustration that you feel. I mean, if you were stepped on a needle and started bleeding with a nurse nearby and she never helps you, how would you feel? Pretty damn bad.

I would love to see this fixed if it exists.

I've noticed something similar once. Made me sympathize with warriors, because it was directly after a battle and I think she was out of energy. The AI probably just needs tweaked a tad.
What I'd like to see is the cultist henchie use Blood Rit on you even when not in battle. Then I can still maintain enchantments without the hassle of dropping them and reapplying them to get my energy back up.

Were you moving at the time? The monk henchmen never use skills if you're moving, they move with you instead. Besides that the only time a healer lets me die is if I'm playing mesmer and the aggro is on me, then she tends not to heal at all.

Oh, and dealing with the avicara in mineral springs with henchmen is a real pain, especially in the beginning where the rangers and warriors are at. That's due to poor AI, but oh, well..

Not to mention that she just may have been out of energy
