Hi everyone.

I know this is a huge forum and the sugestion may already exist somewhere but i give it a try.


When i have to play with Henchmens... i always go nuts when they Pull a whole army on me and them causing us to die.

MY SUGESTION:

What if we had a control key to order them to stay where they are while WE (human players) pull enemy groups ???


Thank you for reading. Hope you like the idea.

exxxxactly.

and how would this work? you press 'u' or something and the henchies just stop? then when you press 'u' or something again they follow and attack? O.o

When did they ever say reconnects was going to be ready or available for Factions? Only recently they stated their currently working on it.

Think your sources of information are wrong.

why do u have to target/shoot the enemy before henchies start moving and killing?
enemy is in thier bubble and still they standing, watching (most of the time)

Well Mate... i don't know for you, but for me.. i prefer having control on them because it's WAY better for us when we have to take Henchies and no one is availlable Online.

2nd, That's the way people play anyway...always a puller ahead and the group behind, waiting to jump on the enemies.

My point of view...

I would love to see a 'wait here' feature on the henchies!

Also the monk hench and their psychotic wanna-be tanking needs to be addressed. I think most healers know they don’t have to be standing in the action right next to you to heal you, the henchies should know this as well.

There will never be a perfect AI that can make them do exactly as they should but the healer as of late has been running straight into the fray to heal then staying there, is anyone else having that problem? Maybe there is there a way maybe to have them programmed so they stand a certain distance away from the main part of the mob and not adjacent to strays.
