getting to the point:

A) update the AI so that when you are dying from degen - be it hexes or condition make it so the AI on h/h heals you rather than letting you die very slowly - don't say bring self-heal!!!

B) update the AI so they don't cast offensive weapon spells on targets set to avoid combat : "olias is using warmongers weapon on Melonni" what good is that?
side note: my melonni is on avoid combat due to her bar - first hero I could thank of as I am currently using her!!!

ok they are the things that are mostly bugging me with the AI

thoughts?

A) Micro a skill to heal you otherwise learn to deal with the conditions/hexes.

B) You need to understand that they put offensive weapon spells on anyone with a melee weapon or a Bow. Heck my Gwen puts Warmongers on me so I switch to a staff instead of my caster sword.

Dealing with hero and henchie AI has been an issue since the game was first released. Granted the henchies have come a LONG way since the game was released and there are still things that they need to fix, but learning to deal with the AI is a part of Guild Wars.

Consistantly moving out of AOE would be a nice touch.

I'm guessing you are using Meloni as an orders healer... She doesn't need a scythe. Give her a caster set, and you'll see less idiocracy from Olias.

Regarding conditions, sometimes they are a little slow to respond. The more options they have, the greater chance they choose an action you wouldn't. For heroes, simplify things. Maybe give condition/hex removal to more than one hero.

Also I'd like to see better reflexes from AoE damage and better skill use so an elementalist hero don't just rush into the middle of a fight just to cast flamedjinns haste or such.

That's easily the thing that bugs me most. They just can't figure out how to spread out vs. nuker enemies. I wish there was some kind of panic key. Like pressing 'X' would cause them to scatter or something; individually flagging them only takes a few seconds, but some times that's all it takes for it to be too late to not wipe.

I think now heroes don't heal from degen... I mean, it's good they dont use Prot Spirit against it or Spirit Bond (although hasn't tested PS yet - I didn't use monk heroes since yesterday), but I'm pretty sure my D/N order derv isn't maintaining Faithful Intervention and is worse at healing, even with full energy all the time.

I forgot a add a weapon to melonni so she only had an off-hand item and was still subject to warmongers - gg AI :
