Heroes seem to be incapable of showing any common sense regardig aoe damage when it lands on their flag.

I'd like a scatter button that I can quickly press that will simply tell the heroes to move their backsides for 5 seconds or so, to try and get them out of AoE range when an earth ele drops a sandstorm on them, etc.

I like this idea. 3 times in a row when I was doing the mission with The Drought with henchies/heroes, he Sandstormed the casters and kill them all in a few seconds. This would be very helpful for situations like that.

It's even worse when they're NOT flagged. I was fighting some Torment mission, forget which one. Anyway, the spiders cast meteor shower on ONE of my team members. What did they do? All ran UNDER THAT METEOR SHOWER! I now have to flag them constantly to get them to NOT stick to one square and all die horrid deaths to their own stupidity.

Option 1: Make it like the attack/guard/avoid stuff.

e.g. Run from AoE, and don't run from AoE.
"I will run from AoEs"

Option 2: Spread out button adjacent/nearby

"I will try to stay beyond adjacent/nearby distance from my teammates."

Heros are only as dumb as the person controlling them.
Henchies on the other hand, are -9 on a scale from 1-10

I'm not sure if we need a button, or just add a little more I to our AI.

And do you know why they did that? I'm guessing it is because your monks had healing touch on their skill bar and ran up to heal the guy in the ms with it.

Heros are as smart as the player controlling them.
