Feedback:User/Andrewc/Hero/henchie formation

Heroes and henchies are sorely lacking in their ability to handle AOE skills. There should be a new hero management feature that forces heroes and henchies to stand further away from the team leader, a kind of formation I suppose. This mode prevents enemy AOE from destroying them. I am aware that there is a flag feature implemented for each hero. However, this feature is not very useful in battle because it is difficult to micromanage heroes/henchies in the middle of battle. For example if you flag each hero at a certain position to minimise AOE and would like to then cancel flagging because there is a need to move while in battle, you have to set up the flagging all over again. If a formation system is implemented, this problem would not exist. I believe this is not new, as many older games have this feature.

At present, enemy mobs seem to be able to spread themselves out nicely unlike heroes and henchies.

I believe it's high time Anet fixed heroes and henchies since a lot of the game has to be played with them now that the Guild Wars population is so spread out.
