Devona WTF????

me and a few others i know have noticed devona is running out of aggro(even wen not fighting) and lure'ing mob's back wich has been getting rather annoying expecially when fighting a group of 6-8 already, it dont bother me so much on th 3-5 group's, but im not shore this is suppose to happen, and also the big chicken henchie(talon silverwing i think) does it on occassions but not as often, has any 1 else experienced this??????

Yes, I was fighting a group of mobs in a dungeon and Gwen kept running off and pulling a group of boss mobs no matter how many times I pinged another mob. She died like 4 times in a row.

Pretty much all the heros/hench do this (I'm looking at YOU, Zhed >.< ). But yes, Talon and Devona seem especially noobish lately.

Definitally. Ogden, my monk, decided to pull this in Shards of Orr just the other day. The baddies weren't even in radar range!

Devona is Leeroy Jenkins' twin sister, try using the flags if they run off, they usually snap out of it. I found myself using flags quite a lot, especially for retreating and/or regrouping.

yeah hmm seems a-net has a clean up job to do

Yeah the crazy heffer does this to me all the time. She wades out past the group we are agro'd on and goes to an entirely different area to pull a second group. I think she has confidence issues being next to Jora.

Yeah, seems to me the scatter AI has been especially wonky as of late. Not too fun when your SF eles run around in circles instead of staying still in the wards and nuking.

My melee heroes have been completely broken lately. Melonni has apparently taken severe head trauma lately, she prefers to stare at walls or pace back and forth instead of actually attacking things.

Yeah this happens all the time when i use talon or devona, once even when i specifically flagged them in the other direction!!

Yup, I had this same problem in Nightfall, when trying to do the Dajkah Inlet challenge mission, there's one point especially where she loves to run up the stairs, past all the other mobs and attack the Guild Lord at the back. Took me a while to fugure out why she was dead and no one would resurrect her.

Lol chicken henchie, good one.

Tahlkora is the new bane of my existence

I'm sure a monk set to 'avoid combat' Should not run in and start wanding Frostmaw

Devona... Leeeeroy idiocy from her and Talon and Jora on occasion I can handle by setting their targets and flagging them, and they are warriors after all...

but Gwen...

Gwen Leeroys off past the mob we fighting, pulls in more (dies, is rezzed)...
Me: Get back in line you stupid woman!!!! *flag
Gwen leeroys off into the furthest backline of the mob (dies, is rezzed)
Me: GWEN, FFS, you are a MESMER, you're BACKLINE - NOW GET BACK INTO IT YOU RAGING NOOB!!
Gwen ignores flag and target and runs off to die - again...

The hero/hench AI should definitely be overhauled... I've broken most of them down to peeling potatoes back at base for their idiocy!!

Footnote:
(by the way, I am a woman, so I can call another woman an idiot and get away with it )

Welcome to Hard Mode.

Optional? No.

All the heroes/henchies are doing this crazy stuff at the moment. It's so annoying. They didn't do this pre-EON so something must have been changed in the AI when GWEN got released.

I hope Anet fix this soon. I remember last time the H/H went all wacko, Anet went into denial about there being anything wrong with them and it took ages for them to actually get fixed.

As for Devona and Big Bird, here's how I figure it happens. They start by trying to run out of some AoE or somesuch. They shout "Charge!" and run much further than they expected. Their goldfish memory kicks in, and they go, ooooo new mobs!
