New bot AI Logic goes live tomorrow (Saturday)

[Secrets]

Topic says it all, few exploit fixes, HUGE improvement to bot spell choices, like wizards picking the appropriate spell based on resists of an NPC, Shamans knowing when to slow, clerics knowing when to heal and what heal to use, Bot archery hopefully fixed, and many more...

Special thanks to WildcardX of EQEmulator for writing this code. He's amazing and we'll be monitoring the new code with him. Please post feedback in this thread when it goes live on Saturday. I spent most of my week working with our codebase off and on, so I hope you enjoy it! WildcardX did an amazing job, as did we!

I'll start a topic tomorrow to get feedback for the new bot code and AI. We are pretty much the 1st server on emu introducing it so please make sure to take your time to post any issue that should be addressed.

A big thanks for WildcardX and Secrets

Bot ai upgrade has been a long time coming, i'm hopefull it will be a success.

hmm a clr bot that wont crit nukes while i lay dying from lack of heals..
could it be true ?

New Bot AI makes sure that the cleric would use an undead nuke if possible for more dps.

Am I out of a job?! It'll be interesting to see if this affects the amount of people who play Cleric mains ... wait a minute, no one does anyways Well, Revived did, but he's just plumb loco ...

On another note, I wonder what Falcore will solo next when his bot actually heals decently?

Well Cleric is the screen I watch the most at least.

Bard: Melody
Ranger: Autofire or Autoattack with 2.0 and Axe of Resistance + Lifetap Aug.
Warrior: Stonewall and Autoattack
Cleric: Make sure no one dies

On topic, I really hope melee bots stop mindlessly eating Enrage all the time.
