One of the first major revamps of the bot system has been accomplished.

Code:
o Fixed some interesting calculations with Taunt. Players will notice a significant increase in their ability to maintain aggro utilizing the Taunt ability now.
o Added a few potential fixes for some rare zone crashes.

The first set of bot changes included reworking the entire Casting AI as well as a few smaller changes.



o Berserkers, Monks and Rogues will now all attack from behind a mob.
o Fixed the HP error calculation with Healer bots that caused them to constantly spam heal spells when they did not need to.
o Cleaned up the spell lists of all caster bots and removed a bunch of excess spells that were useless.
o Fixed Healer bot spell lists so that there is always a current heal spell available no matter what level the bot is.
o Revised how a healer bot searches for which group member needs a heal. They will now heal any group member who is < 95% and any group member pets who are < 60%.
o Fixed the constant movement of bots and bot pets after they engaged a target.
o Bot pets will now generate 1/4th of the normal hate that a player would generate.
o Warrior, Paladin and Shadow Knight bots will now generate 2x more hate than before.
o Caster bots will begin to nuke at 98% now instead of 95%
o Necromancer and Magician bots will now heal their pets when they drop below 60%
o New bot command, #Bot PetHeal - This will toggle a healer bot to heal pets or not.
o Warrior, Shadow Knight, and Paladin bots will now stand a little further from their target.
o Bot pets will no longer taunt. This was causing a number of issues with aggro management.
o Caster bots once again function correctly.
o Bard bots once again function correctly.
o Healer bots that can cast a HoT should now wait until the HoT has worn off to cast another.

As always, please report any issue or suggestions you may have!

Clone:
o Fixed an issue where some items were showing as dropping in every zone.

Unfortunately we need to remind some players to a server rule:
# Selling/trading characters on THF is strictly prohibited and those accounts will get banned permanently.
