So after this recent update bots can zone and hold there buffs while zoneing? does that mean bots will hold there buffs if told to camp?

For more information, click here. Basically, you need to add a single buff to your bot to get the zoned buffs to work - this is a temporary solution and a more permanent one has already been found and will be added next update.

Also, from the patch notes:
WildcardX: Bots will now persist their buffs to the database while zoning or camped

The persist their buffs while camped might explain some behavior I noticed on my bots last night. I summoned my shammybot to buff my group, then I camped him, waited and summon my enchanterbot for buffs, and camped him out. I killed stuff for a while, buffs ran out. I summoned the enchanterbot for more haste, he joined the group and would not cast any spells. I camped him summoned my shammybot, same thing.

So it seems once they buff the group up, they will not rebuff until their buffs wear off. Which could be a long time since I only use those bots to buff folks. Is there a solution we can get in for that? I would hate to use the obvious solution of creating new bots everytime I want buffs. The database would get quite large very fast. ;-) If the bots are going to remember thier buffs we need a bot buff command to tell them to rebuff the group.
