EQ2Bot Melee Movment

Not sure if this is a bug, or an intended change, so am posting as a general question.

Formerly in EQ2Bot, Bots would only move up to the mob if "Engage in Melee Combat" was enabled. Now even with it disabled, the bot will move onto the target like it was going to engage in melee and just not attack. Which makes use in tight places difficult when I need the bot to stay in a single location. Just curious if this is intended behavior or is truely a bug.

Are you perhaps using a class file that has PBAoE enabled?

In which case it typically will run to combat range to fire this spell, and will not engage in combat.

Which classes are you seing the behavior on? This isn't intentional.

The bot will remain within 35 distance of the kill target, that range check is intentional.

Seeing it on Fury and Defiler Classes, So assumed it was with EQ2bot itself and not the class scripts.

And No PBAoE is disabled as well. Often while using these bots in Larger groups I tend to put them in a healer only mode. No melee engagement, Offensive spells and typically not even debuffs. Quite frequently I will see the bot running past me to assist the main tank and get behind in melee range.

Currently using SVN updated as of 2 nights ago. Not sure of revision at the moment as I am not home.

I haven't seen this behavior unless I had fury with storms or ring of fire enabled.


I'll be running both these classes tonight and will experiment with the behaviors.

Did another SVN update tonight as well as wiped my character config file and Fury seems to be working fine now. *shrug* Will try and check Defiler again tommorow.
