I have noticed for a long, long time that if you have 2 mercs that can res, both will go to the same player or other hench and res it, one will begin and almost finish and the other will start to res... is there a way to make it so that they go to seperate players and res them seperately rather than waste time? This would be a great error to fix!

Yeah, healer hench, particularly in Cantha, suck. Completely. I say especially in Cantha because I had two healer hench in my part one time, and they did the exact same thing at the exact same time. So, if one healed me 100 HP, the other would also heal me 100 HP. Just annoying because I may not always need that 200 HP, and one of the spells could have been directed at another party member who needs a nice heal too.

I also notice that they take FOREVER to even start casting a res spell, excluding the lovely ritualist Gai who's completely on the ball and gets that stuff done as soon as possible.

Yes, I had to wait 30 seconds to get a res... it was terrible... takes forever, I guess its so that they wait for enemies to clear. Anyways, you should be able to CTRL double click your name or CTRL click your health bar when your dead and the mercs will ressurect you. That sounds a lot better than waiting.

The healer henchmen are programmed now to rez you once they get full energy. They do this so once they rez you, they can fully heal you.

This is completely unnecessary...if there are no enemies around, they should just rez you immediately, or do as Draygonia said--Ctrl + double your name or health bar when your dead and then they'll rez you (if either of them have the energy), and if you have more than one henchmen that has the ability to rez you, it defaults to the one who has the most energy.

Once, the henchies took so long I thought it was a bug and they wouldnt rez at all and i was about to log out when the henchie started to rez me and i was like "wow".

I agree, it's almost as if they are programmed to fight for the right to rez you. Also, what's with them spamming Signet of Devotion all day? That's the best they can do? LOL
I've also noticed some odd bugs where my hench will basically run away. I'll be getting ready to aggro something and I notice all my hench are running away from me and the enemies. If I'm lucky I notice and wait for them to jog back... if I'm not lucky I face the full fury of the mob by myself while they run off to get ice cream or whatever the hell it is they do.

LOL! Ice cream? Who doesnt run off to get that? But seriously, we need to be able to have mercs hold positions... It would help when we pull ESPECIALLY ON THE LOST SON QUEST IN CANTHA WHERE THERE ARE AT LEAST 50-100 SKULLS AND I CANT KILL MORE THAN 2-3 BEFORE THEY BEAT THE SNOT OUT OF ME BECAUSE MY MERCS RAN INTO THE MIDDLE AND RAN BACK TO ME AND AWAY FROM ME TO GET THIER ICE CREAM WHILE I GET CURSED, SHOT AT, SLICED, DICED AND MUTILATED... than they come back and decide to help! oh and did I mention they dont like to res while they fight? yah... wtf?
