In ooc, someone mentioned that shaman bots are broken and not buffing so I summoned mine and it worked fine. However, when we wiped on Sleeper tonight, I camped out (and I assume the bot did too) and when I summoned my bot he would not conviction us (presumably because he still had conviction). I would think though that if the bot saw Party_Member_A wihtout conviction, he should cast it on them, but never did.
I think this is leading to some confusion as there is currently no way for us to "kill" a bot short of letting him die in battle. Thus, perhaps a look into the way bots detect buffs on others may be in order?
