First of all, I absolutely LOVE the majority of the new henchies. I think they're pretty awesome, and props to Anet for giving us like 40 more henchies to play with. (Daeman is DA-MAN!)
...But come on... how come you guys stuck Sister Tai with the RetardedAIScript.dll? I thought Alesia was bad, but man...
level 3 Alesia > level 20 Sister Tai

She just thinks that casting Res Chant in the middle of the battle is fun. I think she caused me a good 60 deaths that way.
Also, she likes to switch off for several seconds in the middle of a battle. There sometimes comes an awkward moment when you are in a middle of a Naga mob, and suddenly figure out there's no healing. "Er... sister...?" *BLOOD*
Alesia got slightly competent when she got WoH, and generally was good with fast-casted heals. Sister's Signet of Devotion is usually delivered after you're dead for a second.
And the worst part is the quotes. As your party is near wipage due to her epic reflexes, she goes "I forgive you". Well, I don't forgive YOU for wasting my time and getting killed by a simple mob, please eat shattered glass.
I love to hate this hench.

hailz to the OP. come on ANet, we need a competant hench monk especially when there are like 4 people around in the later missions and you HAVE to use henches to get em done.

Sister Tai has to be the stupidest AI I have ever seen. All she does is freaking uses signet of devotion which is a crap heal if you're trying to heal people quickly. Then she uses ressurect in the middle of the battle so you die as soon as you pop up which means you gain dp and she wasted time that she could have been healing.

at least alesia could tank. tai just sits there, she doesnt even attack.

Its the fault all those top guild vs guild monks using signet of devotion during the play offs. Anet just coppied their build but only gave Tai signet of devotion.

Elena

Seriously though, i've no idea what Sister Tai is doing with a mid-battle resurrect followed by a slow slow casting heal ... "ooh great, i'm back ... er ... nope there I go again"

Yeah I think the same thing and I only use when i use it sig of devotion when my energy is down to 0.I used it in hells precipe mission.

the mid-battle reses are annoying in Factions because of how everything hits you fast and hard. You come back up with a DP and you go back down because you are in a weakened state. Oh goodie. : /
I only have one occasion to thank her for the mid-battle res. I was running to the next area, hoping to get past the afflicted. I die! But I get ressed and I run the hell toward the portal. lol.

I think it has more to do with the spawns of mobs rather than their toughness ... this whole island is begging for an SS necro to come and dominate the heck outta it. I think i'll do that tonight 
Look on the bright side though: while you're dead, you can be targeting around different enemies and making yourself familiar with the new skills/skill icons.

Signet of Devotion = 86HP every 7 seconds. Healing breeze at 8 is more efficient.
And red guy, if they copied the gvg builds, the monks would have OoB and use guardian and rof to keep you alive while SoD healed their lost life from OoB.

I took sister along as the healer on most of the missions and sub quests with my assassin, never had much of an issue with her healing, especially when paired with the prof.
sinisters chaos
lol, she is quite a bad henchy, but the rezzing in the middle of a battle... WOW
lg5000
She was bad on the island, so was the warrior hench though.. yes, people will write epics about how badly we FAILED to kill the 3 naga infront of us due to his stupidity.
In the later part (using my tyrian char), Sister Tai has caused me no problems, although.. that could be partly contributed to the fact that I take the spirits henchie with me for additional safe keeping of the party and the earth ele (what happened to our prot hench?).

Yep.. Sister Tai have her problems.. Specially on Shing Jea, where she NEVER heals me while i was using Blood of the Master. Never even once.

Oh any whoever said signet of devotion isnt bad lol think about this situation... There is 1 healer and 1 prot hench and half of the party has below 50% HP and uh that dumb healer uses signet and heals someone for less then 100 with 2 second activation time... the outcome is fatal..
Bob Whills
Sister Tai maybe annoying but at least she isnt Redemptor Carl. The bot uses REBIRTH during fights which makes him useless imo. To bad because a decent prot hench could go along way. :/

/agree with all of the above...
aaand, while we're on the subject of monk AI, why is it that the enemy monks know to stay back and heal while the hench monks charge right in with the warrior?...i was henching my way around Echovald tonight and every battle, there was Danika, charging right in beside me...methinks Alesia changed her name, dyed her hair and became a goth...
