I am a lvl 49 ice wizard and I am currently in Dragonspyre. I do all my quests with my brother, a lvl 50 life wizard. We use henchmen to help during our battles, to make them go quicker, and I feel insulted by the new lvl 60 ice henchman. We got into a battle and picked an ice henchman to help. I wanted to see how cool it was. I was extremely disappointed because all it did was taunt (which can get seriously annoying), use its staff attack, and put down about 2 traps. I was hoping it could do better than that! I hope this problem is fixed because I know i'll need help since Ice spells are weak.
The henchmen are limited in their intelligence, and will usually go for one specific strategy with their spells - ice has a preference for taunting, just as life has a preference for healing you (even when you don't need it). I haven't seen any henchmen capable of understanding the idea of stacking traps and blades, to boot.
