Default EqLive Mercs

They are actually dumbed down versions of bots...they're bad. I find it funny that people at SOE get paid for doing this, yet we have EQEMU which is light years ahead in ideas and creativity.

At SoE they get paid to dumb stuff down. Just enough, and not one bit more!

The merc healers are better, besides that we're holding our own.

The merc healers are only better because at level 50 your merc has 46k mana...

Maze I beg to differ. The Merc healer genuinely is a much more effective healer, with much better AI. Yeah he might have higher mana, so fucking what, at least he's keeping me alive. Until recent updates to EQEmu bots, I was MacroQuesting clerics instead of running bot clerics because the bot clerics were fucking worthless.

You dont have such a negative attitude on EqEmu bot clerics. Its awesome that someone in the EqEmu community even designed working bots for all of us to use. They may not be the best but its a start

Who said I have a negative attitude towards them? I love them, I use them to test raids on my server. The only issue I have with them, and BC knows it well as I've been reporting them to him, is the inability to truly balance raid content that requires a heal rotation, because the bot clerics a) had problems knowing when to cast CH and b) couldn't set up rotations. So, like I said, I used the MQ2 clerics to handle this portion of my testing and up until RECENT changes, the eqemu bot healers did suck.

I never once said I hated bots or didn't respect or appreciate the effort that has been put in. Quite the opposite.

My apologies, it was just the sound of tone in your post that made me think you had a negative attitude
