At the moment, me and two others are running toward Granite Citadel. The rest of the party is comprised of henchmen.

After encountering a boss grawl, I was the only one left alive. Since my friends neglected to bring a res, I decided to res Alesia--of course, with the assumption she'd be able to res my party.

She hasn't.

And she isn't.

She's.. standing there.

Doing nothing.

Has anyone else experienced this too?

Is this a new bug?

We're using the henchmen from Copperhammer Mine. I have no other res. I'm the only other one alive. She -should- be using her res right now--but she isn't.

I've had similar happen to me, in that alesia/lina will want to raise the other first (before anyone else). This is especially the case if, as you say, other fallen party members near you do not have a res themselves.

I'd say bug, but it's only happened to me once or twice ... i'll probably be alot more upset about it should it happen in a more critical situation

They really need to work on the healers.All the hench for that fact.They jacked up energy on heal party which has always be helpful if taking hench.Now you have to depend on (hench)monks to do the healing more than before and it has really gotten worse.I wish a 20th lev Alesia could heal as good as the 3rd level crawls.As far as original post of rezzing by the monks just a bit ago I had both monks behind me and they didnt rez anyone.

Someone take Lina out and see what spell she uses to res with. I'm going to hypothesize that Lina and Alesia might still be using Rebirth and Res Chant leftover from the Factions preview. Sadly, this would mean Alesia is unable to res anything because the skill is locked.

The above is entirely a hypothesis that's most likely untrue. I can't say I've played with hench and had to worry about resing, since the Factions weekend.

When it bugged like this for me, I was spamming the channel with that, and no luck.

Definitely a bug, and has absolutely nothing to do with skill setup of the hench (as I had just been res'ed by Alesia, and was trying to get her to res others).

I've had that bug happen to me once before. Had to restart the mission from scratch. I've also has Alesia completely freeze. We didn't notice until the party started dying due to no heals but after the fight when going back we found her just standing there. Nothing we did could make her move so we had to start over.

Yup, this happens to me too, really annoying. Only thing i could do is map back and just take it.

I've had henchie healers not rez. I took the healer away from the body so it was out of the aggro circle and then ran her back. She rez'd then. That trick has worked for me a couple of times. If it didn't work, I kept running out of range and back again until she did it.

henchs have a order to rez
hard rez > rez signet
human > computer

Human with hard rez > hench with hard rez > human with rez signet > hench with rez signet...

If all party is dead and you left a monk behind (dead), the survivor monk will run back and try to rez the dead monk... in 100% dying... and the worst henchs cant turn squares... if they find a square... forget the monk dont will rez no one and still alive running around...

Yeah, the other day I was trying to do thirsty river with henchmen on a lowbie character, and I got killed, all the henchies alive, but they wouldnt res me!! It was ridiculous.

What ? Why do people post garble like this. What takes ten seconds to fix, makes you look like a big ol dumbass. Think about it.
Now to the point of the post, Allesia has done this too me many times, in fact all the monks have at one time or another. Sometimes running way out of range and running back will work(as stated previously)but its not 100%. Sad especially when you are at the end of a two hour run up the south shiverpeaks, an just about to make it to G.C. or wherever you are trying to get too.

Just today i was trying to do a Kryta quest, cant remember the name of it now but thats not important, i left from ToA with 7 hench and myself to find 4 of them just standing by the entrance to ToA, doing nothing, i had to go back in and out again to try and fix it, there is definitly some crappy AI or a bug somewhere along the line, i think Anet should look into hench a bit closer than "oh lets make them follow calls"

Definately, another thing I've noticed is when your entire party gets ressed at a res portal, alesia then trys to use restore life even though we're all alive
