I suppose the super-duper AI of the Hero NPC's is great, in the long run... I mean, sure, they learn, they take commands. Fine and dandy. But when they start doing things like this, well, it sort of makes you wonder what sort of sick sense of humor ArenaNet has...

Don't give him shock either, he just exhausts himself. Anyway, Last of Master uses Frenzysig, Koss was programmed by master.

Not only Frenzy + Healing Signet is wrong, Dragon Slash + Final Thrust is almost as bad.

For the love of god, never give them mending! They immediately run around casting it on every ally they can find, until they have no more energy.

Psh.
Dragon Slash -> Galrath Slash -> Final Thrust = GG.

I've actually managed to teach him how to execute that one properly. Still working on the Frenzysig problem, but he doesn't do it as often now.

You can't blame the heroes for that. They learned it from human players. I'm giving my monk henchie party, breeze and meteor shower. Just to remind me of a "monk/nuker" I played with.

My level 2? Koss had Charge. I figured since I didn't have an axe to give him, I may as well make him into a Charge sword warrior.

Dragon Slash --> Dragon Slash --> Dragon Slash --> Dragon Slash --> Dragon Slash --> Dragon Slash...

Hmm... when did I put Koss on the defensive mode? Oh well, too lazy to take another screenshot.

On a serious note, DS + FT is bad, because Dragon Slash is used to gain adrenaline, and Final Thrust kills all that adrenaline making DS rather pointless. Losing adrenaline completely is not worth of lousy 40 extra damage against a single foe in PvE.

question, since i really didn't get alot of time to play the game this weekend, how do you give heroes a secondary profession? do you do it at the same time you get a secondary for yourself? or in the same way?
thanks

INVINCIBLE! I lol'd IRL, because I had to fight with my Koss to get him to stop casting Mending on the Warrior hench and cast Live Vicariously on himself.

Here was my original Koss...

Sever Artery
Gash
Final Thrust
Dragon Slash (I know, I was stupid)
Wild Blow
Healing Signet
Mending (hey, in PvE if there's no enchant removal :P)
Resurrection Signet.

Guess what he did? He Wild Blowed everytime it recharged...Note to everyone: DO NOT USE WILD BLOW ON KOSS IF YOU WANT HIM TO USE ADREN! Had to go in and replace it with Sun and Moon Slash, which he used a bit better. Then I scrapped it all and made him a W/Mo axe war

That is indeed an excellent question. I'm not sure, myself, but I think it was because of a bug in the AI. Go figure.
