Tank pulling with EQ2bot

[clogue77]

I am attempting to solo in JW. I have setup the NavPath and it works well. I also have set up the bot so that it bow pulls and engages correctly. However, specific mobs in JW (Drakes) just stand there and cast. How do you either have the bot move to the mob OR keep using the ranged attack to kill it? As it stands right now, the bot just stands there after the initial bow pull and does nothing.

I have done searches on this issue and cannot seem to find anything like this particular instance. I have tried setting it with no auto pull and using the NavPath, but the bot just stands there and won't move.

Any ideas to check on this?

First off, afk botting is not supported, so keep that in mind. As for pulling casting mobs, the best you can do is ditch the bow pulling, and change to CA pulling with a low range, that way the bot will run right up next to the mob to "pull".

Thanks for letting me know this. I never said I was going to be afk, just wanted to be able to do work while grinding out some AA, ect. This was a good way to do it. As for the CA. I tried this in multiple ways....perhaps I am setting the slider bar wrong. Also, the set to Auto Hunt setting doesn't work for me, the bot just says 'Idle" and doesn't move. Is there another setting I am missing on that?

First of all, there is an engang melee checkbox you should probably check. (dosn't allways work for me, but it helps)

Secondly, JW is a bit different. SoE has different sizes for the various zones. basically a meter in JW is a lot smaller than in most other zones. Therfore you need to up your scanning range for it to be effective in JW. When I'm hunting in JW open areas I tend to do a 200 range to make it work effectivly.

Thanks for your response, I will check this out today.

When you say 'Scanning Range' are you referring to 'Out of Range Reaction Distance' slider bar? Or is there another one I am missing?
