Assist Me, Be Independant, or Attack Others

With the release of nightfall there are many reasons to spread out who you attack instead of attacking the same target. They're on Fire and Armor of Sanctity are the ones that come to mind. Say you're running they're on fire with anthem of flame, it would be better if your henchmen and / or heroes attacked targets other than yours, thus spreading the burning and further reducing damage.

Sure this can be done through hypothetically a ton of micromanagement but its not very realistic.

I don't think it would be very hard to create new code that can have the heroes:
Assist Me: same as now
Be Independant: when their target dies, they just target the nearest enemy or some kind of system of checks for who they attack.
Attack Others: spread out the damage, won't assist you and will attack enemies with the most health.

Would make me happy anyway, thats the biggest drawback to the heroes / henchies right now. That and they like to hug each other when djinns are casting searing flames on them but I don't expect that to be "fixed."

i like the idea, i have to micromanage a little depending on what im facing, though usually i can make my way through sheer force, whenever i send Zenmai and Jin to track down and kill that pesky kournan priest, the targets go down much faster.

it would be nice for an "attack casters" or "attack healers" "... eles..." "...necros..." "..mesmers..." etc.

You can lock them onto different targets btw.

hence why I said it can be done with intense micromanagement.
