Rit hero's don't use weapon spells ?

I haven't played with rit hero's a lot before. I had one in m team yesterday (oblidation of the quest) I put some spirits, 2 heal spells, and 2 weapon spells on her. (Vital weapon and the one that add's armour and regen when condioned.) I kept an eye on her the entire time to watch how she reacted. She put vital weapon on herself, but didn't once use one of the weapon spells on someone else.

Thinking about it she might not have used it because we weren't conditioned. But she could have given us vital weapon and didn't do that either.

Is this a recurring problem with heroes and weapon spells ?

they use them very poorly.
I think the condition to have her cast vital wep wasn't met when you watched.

She (Xandra) actually use weapon spells as an emergency heal, not as a health boost. Poorly designed, as Vital weapon can be maintained on the whole party like Olias maintain tainted flesh.
Additionnally she doesn't know how to use pre e-management. She casts Attuned was sogkai only when she lacks energy (resulting with the lost of her weapon set to a 0 energy - how smart) as well as Boon of Creation, not BEFORE casting any spirit.
Fix plz. Necros actually cast spirits better than rits.

Xandra also doesn't know to cast Nightmare Weapon on melee, but she casts it on ME! I mean, I must wand them instead of casting spells? Or she doesn't cast Ancestor's Rage on anyone except for herself -.-
And strange, they can maintain enchantments like Tainted Flesh, but not weapon spells? I think the scrypt should be changed...

A friend carries around Razah, and as a Ranger, I always get weapon spells cast on me.

I didn't pay attention to the hero all the time, nor to what he casted and on who, but I had that "All attacks interrupt" spell on me most of the time during battle, as well as the "Next two attack don't do damage, but steal health" and the regen one. I don't know rit spell names except Splinter, sorry >.>

Rit heroes use some weaponspells only on themselves yea, noticed it first when I just got Razah and started messing around. Some they use somewhat correct like splinter weapon, tho they always cast that on themselves first and after that on melee in the group. Every now and then also on casters, not sure why.

Ancestor Rage they use pretty good actually, think they just copied the mob AI for that. They wont cast it unless there are 2 or 3 mobs adjecent to whomever its being cast on. Sometimes I notice it when I'm in the middle of a couple of mobs and see a bunch of damage numbers all of a sudden. Since its an enchantment now I get to see the damage. They wont use it with only one mob tho which is a shame.

And they indeed suck at their energy management skills. Plus the fact that half their skills are used wrong makes me hardly ever use them. N/Rt with 12 channeling for splinter and other usefull spells (orders, wells) works better for me to augment the melee.

My rit heros use weapon of remedy, vengeful weapon and splinter weapon, and they seem to use them all fine. im the warrior, and they cast splinter weapon and ancestors rage on me fine. they also heal other party members with wor and vengeful fine.
