Here are a few commands or ideas that I could see improving the bot use experience.

Definable area as home base. This could be used to stop bots from following you out on a pull. I would think being able to set a distance that bots could roam form camp would also be useful so that they could still kill a running mob for example.

Stop bots from attacking as soon as anyone in the group gets aggro no matter how far away. I am not sure on best fix for this but setting the main assist attacking being the trigger for bots to attack could work.

Bots casting buffs over and over because they will not land for some reason. Not enough buff slots open or other spells preventing them. Maybe have a setting to turn on only major buffs like haste and KEI Or best 1-5 buffs only? Or if it dose not land then do not try again unless asked to refresh buffs?

I have seen enchanters pull massive aggro when a mob is unslowable or very resistant by chain casting slow. I am not sure how one would solve this. Maybe add in stances that would be more likely to give up after a few fails?

Add follow other command for groups with a mix of humans and bots. This could be useful to divide your bots up by type to keep them safe or in the mix depending on what you want. So a enchanter could follow a healer or nuker class. Rouge could follow another melee class and so on.


I realize I did not spend a lot of time writing this out so if any hard to understand let me know and I will elaborate when I have more time/sleep.
