If we're not going to have 7 Heroes...

Can you at least provide us with universal attack/guard/passive controls for the henchmen? It'd make it much easier to not have them attack with SS or Spirit Shackles on them.

Thoughts, Etc? What does the Guru think?

I have been saying something similar since Gaile came out with her "game is not designed for more than 3 Heroes" comment.

I think they need to buff henchies for HM, they say they did, but I seriously doubt they did much. HM henchies should have better builds and better AI than thier RM counterparts. The builds they have are terrible for HM. Devona still uses charge FFS. While its a decent skill I would prefer a Hammer Elite on her not a friggin speed elite. She is a warrior, not a track star. How bout a SF Ele for HM henchie? Or a Mind Blast Ele Henchie.

My other thought was to have a selection of builds we can choose from the henchies IE: Earth build, Fire Build, Air Build / Prot Build, Heal Build etc...

heroes are a plague enough by themselve for now.making people stop any human relationships.
hardmode prolly only good thing making people rememeber its a multi human game not only heroes all the way.

let heroes like they are.hench/heroes already invaded normal mode every where.let humans at last hard mode for play together...

Well, the problem with this is, when you party with multiple people and henchmen, which person gets control of the henchmen? Presumably, only the party leader, since two players might disagree with each other and set the henchmen on different mods.

I'm still playing Hard mode with henchies and heroes. However, I should not have to suffer for very annoying flaw in the AI. If I want to play solo, I should choose to do so. I'm fine with having only three heroes, but that should be my only penalty.

Well yes, it would be the party leader. However, if I was going to play with someone else, I wouldn't bring henchmen. I'd rather they brought their heroes. So it's not a terribly significant problem.

Not unless said player doesn't own NF.
