Do bots display buffs in the target window

Just what the topic says. I did a search and I couldn't find the answer.

Also I seem to hover around 80% health in the player status window, it never seems to sit at 100% once I start playing. Is that cosmetic only?

Thank you and have a great weekend!

In Titanium, nobody displays their buffs in the target window. However, SoF+ clients can see buffs and debuffs on anyone they target, except bots for some reason. Bots just don't seem to report their buffs for viewing.

The "hovering at 80% health" thing is a quirk of SoF+ clients, too. If you #mystats yourself, you'll see that your health, mana, and endurance are actually full. However, you appear to hover at slightly-less-than-full because SoF+ uses different HP/Mana/Endurance calculations than Titanium; as a result, your client "thinks" you should have more HP/Mana/Endurance than you actually do.

As always, #mystats reveals all mysteries and provides true numbers. Always take what your client says with a grain of salt until you've checked its facts.

I don't know about the bot buffs in target window, but I can share my experience with the client display of max hp/mana.

It's been posted before on eqemu and thf forum that there was a serverside option at some point added to live servers during the era of the newer eq clients. This flag gives ~1k extra hp/mana to everyone using newer clients. Search the forum for more exact details.

Apparently Titanium can't make use of this, so THF devs decided not to enable the option in order to maintain a more level playing field among all clients. Your newer client is expecting the option to be enabled, so it displays your hp/mana as lacking.

As you gain more hp/mana, the percentage missing should decrease as the ~1k expected is a lower percentage of your totals. Buffs, songs, and aura which have HPv2 effect seem to reduce the amount of missing hp as interpreted by your client. With T7 gear and effects you can expect to be in the high 90s% in your client hp/mana window. However, as you collect heroic stamina/int/wis from T8+ gear and donor items, it seems the gap will widen again.

Using #mystats you will see the true representation of your stats, according to the server. It's just your client that is displaying wrong.
