Good work with Nightfall so far. Little bit of Grinding but that's to be expected. I like everything, even down to the Hero System, but there's one problem: Monk Henchmen seem to hate signets.

I have both, Signet of Rejuinvation and Signet of Devotion on my Hero, and he almost never uses them! He has very few other spells to heal with, and insists on waiting for cooldowns on those while sitting idle. I even tried putting the signets to the far left of the bar (its been suggested that favorability increases from right to left). Still, he doesn't use them.

Fix pls!

It has also come to my attention that monks hate some upkeeps as well. This can be fixed by disabling the skill and using it yourself, but that can be annoying.

Anyone else noticing/experiencing these things?

One of the monk henchmen in Factions has Signet of Devotion, and everybody complained how she did such a crap job because people died while she was using a 2 second cast signet. I seem to remember that there was an update along the lines of "monk henchmen now use SoD more wisely". Perhaps that affected it in some way?

And no the heroes don't like enchantments with upkeep. It's hard for them to manage their energy that way. I even saw a wammos give his assassin hero Live Vicariously and Essence Bond, and I see the hero casting and casting it over and over, and of course cancelling it inbetween...... on other people in party. Doh!

Personally I am glad there are at least some things people will need a human for, rather than heroes knowing how to do every build.

When i had my Koss with a Live Vicariously build, (well more or less, he had the skill) he didn't hesitate to put it on himself and keep it on at all times.
On the other hand I had Tahlkora equipped with Life Attunement (removed it since). She'd use it, that's for sure but more like in a 'hey what was that' kind of fashion. She applies it and instantly tyakes it off again.

On topic now.
Neither of my monk heores use signets so can't give any data on this.
