As the title says it. Make the henchies intelligent enough to use attunements (and Aura of Restoration as well) when they are standing idle. I hardly ever see Zhed use them by himself, which ruins the build he uses.

My Sosuke and Zhed always keep any attunements I give them.

Try reordering their builds.

Problem is, they only use them during battle. Not before battle when standing still. So when you run into a new encounter, they will cast a couple of spells without an Attunement.

id like to see heros and henchies both use "prep" skills when targets are called like they at the least should...

call target ur heros and henchies use preps enchants and attunements before actually engaging the target...would be nice update to their functioning...

BTW anyone know why the assassin hero sucks so bad and tries to use attacks out of order and of corse wont use signets or anything it seems... assassin hero is just a retard imo

It'd be nice if they understood how glyphs work too. Nothing like watching them use GoLE on a 5 cost spell.

Complete speculation, but I believe the heroes have the ability to "learn". When I first started using Sousuke with my standard double attunement fire build, he would never use the attunements. When I started forcing it on him, I noticed after a few times of that he actually started doing it himself. Now I don't really pay attention at all to him. When I do look, he has both attunements up and even recasts immediately when one is down, keeping both up all the time.

Try reording the skillbar. My sin works just fine. Heck, in a all-out party wipe, she's usually the last one standing. Just stay away from maintaned shadowstep enchantments. Nothing like having aura of displacement drop, and have her warp half a map away.

Yeah, I heard that if you order the skills in the skill bar, they will use them differently. I'm not sure if it is true, but worth a try.

My Ele Heroes use Attunement when Iddle when I set their Energy storage over 10.

I can't understand the problem.

They use them in battle on their own... and manually doing it is pretty easy, just once a minute. :|
