Hirelings and champions sigh

[mkmcgw17]

Since TOEE came out the hirelings don't seem to do anything but stand there and die. The only way I can get them to work is set them on defend and every combat toggle them quickly to active then back to defend then they work as before. It's a serious pain in the butt. Has anyone else experienced this or come up with a better way to get them to work? Does anyone know if they have any plans to fix them?

I have lived thirty lives on five different characters and seems like every time I plan a character build by the time I get to twenty they've changed the rules enough that my build doesn't work anymore. My latest build I created a fvs hybrid to be an elite soloist and right before I got to 20 they added champions which have made it very hard for me to solo elite. Just more of a observation than a complaint it would be nice to not have to rebuild my character every couple months though and have a build work as I planned it. This build would have worked without the champion addition.

And just one more thing I don't recall the Warner brothers using deceit and market manipulation to get people to watch there movies. Perhaps turbine should follow in the footsteps of its parent companies founders and stop buying all the spell point potions posted at the auction house and selling items at the shard exchange in a hidden attempt to sell items at the ddo store.

Intelligent feedback appreciated.
