As for henches resing, they almost always res me first, even if healer is dead, prolly cause I have flesh of my flesh on me. This reasults in another problem. It has happened to me quite often that the last living henchman decides as his last act to use a res signet on me, leaving me alone among tons of monsters, which means 15% more dp than I should have gotten.

Kurzick have interrupt mesmer, so how is Luxon better? For precision interrupting, mesmer is still better than ranger, especially now that they kinda slowed down the henchy interrupts.

Ugh, here's what just happened. There were two enemy casters casting all sorts of crap on me. I died due to the incompetence of the healer hench (something well discussed), and lay on the ground waiting to be ressed. Sadly, since my body was just outside of aggro range, the henchies all withdrew from battle and stood around me without engaging the enemies. However, the enemy casters were just within spellcasting range, so they continued to cast. The henchies didn't respond. They just stood there, around my body, tanking the hits. The healer hench healed whenever someone was low on health, that was about all they did for five minutes. I expected a res...but no, they were stuck in an infinite loop. Brilliant...

yes they are brainless

uuuhhh,
So now ppl want henche to start ressing and not healing the rest of the group when fighting?
I think that there were a lot of ppl asking for henches NOT to ress when every 1 is fighting.
I think that its better this way the rest of the group can fight and get healing and when the fight is over they start to ress, this works great for me.
By the time that the monk has ress 1 back while fighting 2 others are dead for not getting healing so it does not work better that way IMO.
AI for henche is much better now they use the right skills on the right time, and cyn is very handy this days.

Aërendil · May 15, 2006, 10:39 AM // 10:39

yes but haven't you noticed that with monks/rt will ress the same person? That it sometimes takes >1 minute (extreme) before they begin with a res? THat is kinda annoying.

Zero Red · May 16, 2006, 02:21 AM // 02:21

I think the henchman need to res more often out of combat with resurrection chant and less often in combat. All of the henchman have the skill resurrection signet, so why do they decide not to use it until everyone is dead. Honestly, something needs to be done here. Plus, the spirit henchman seems to have a very high tendency to cast Weapon of Warding on the fighter henchman regardless of the fact the shock henchman right next to him is getting chopped to pieces by a jade knight. What is up with this?

Had a very similar experience last night in the city. Ran into one of those "Jade Brotherhood wipes out most of party with two dragon stomps" deals. I'm lying dead, with four henchies alive. They've killed the Jade Brotherhood mob, but on the ROOF of a nearby building is another mob. The henchies try to attack these guys. They can't whittle them down. Meanwhile, I'm lying there spamming "<name> is dead." No luck. This went on for about ten minutes, until, somehow, they noticed I was dead and rezzed me. Next time I'll try the Ctrl-Shift-Space trick someone mentioned.

Actually, I find Danika and Protector Karl to be a good team. My mesmer has been henching all of the forest quests without much of a problem. She's having a much easier time than she did in the city with Sister Tai.

One of my biggest problems is that they rez in the middle of battle and don't heal and just build up your dp. Either that or they get stuck somewhere and you got to map out.

Well, the warriors know how to find their way home at least.

Wraparound · May 16, 2006, 03:50 PM // 15:50

I like how when you're waiting to be rezzed by a hench and you're right on the edge of an aggro bubble and the healer starts pacing back and forth, back and forth....lol

At least Sometimes they try not to trigger the aggro.

Draxx · May 16, 2006, 04:07 PM // 16:07

YES

YES... A THOSAND TIMES YES!

I am extremely happy... UBER happy if you will, that someone has brpught this up, it is stupid, and unless you are a

Ritualist
Or
Monk

You will not get Rez'd Until almost the very end when everyone else is up, as party leader you should take priority over everyone aside from other healers/rezers.

I agree with you totally. I'm actually waiting for a res right now, looking for a thread to flame in. She doesn't give a crap if I'm taking damage, I even ran around with about 50 hp for a while around her, trying to avoid the hits from enemies a good while, when they finally got me, in the middle of a huge fight. First thing she does is hit Resurrection Chant. So, when there are a few monsters left, I die again due to lack of healing. Talon and Panaku finishes off the last monsters, and now she's constantly healing since a couple of Kappa are in range to use Rust and Mind Freeze, but down a ledge so henches can't attack.

They lose like 10 hp and she heals, instead of resing me. So now I've waited for a res for about 10 minutes, hoping that she'll finally die, so I can get her to tank again and not heal, and hopefully reach an outpost and leave her behind. Never to use her again unless something gets done. I mean, most people complain at Alesia, but atleast she healed.

edit: Ohh, and on a side note; shouldn't /resign work if all real players used it? Cause it's waiting for henches to type /resign too.....

All I read is the title...

AMEN!

I was doing some quests and spent about 5 min in between each major battle for the henchies to rez...

metalone · May 21, 2006, 07:57 AM // 07:57

Yea sister tai has to be the WORST hench healer ever concieved. Danika is ok when she doesnt just sit there healing the mm's minions while 3 guys in the team are dead on the ground waiting for a rez ROFL. I think they made the factions henchies far worse then prophecies henchies to force people to play together hahha

samifly · May 21, 2006, 08:23 AM // 08:23

Domination hench = Interrupt. Without that lovely dazed applied to a warrior

. The best combo is both, which is only at unwaking waters.

samifly · May 21, 2006, 08:26 AM // 08:26

IMO - there should be a "res" henchmen, which I was hoping would be the rit, but they seem to like to use healing spells instead of ressing.

hanwinting · May 21, 2006, 09:27 AM // 09:27

hench healers = dumbasses
