Bot Heal Command and Torches

[bad_captain]

Bots are supposed to be as similar to real players as computerly possible, good and bad. Even if its not an instant heal (like #heal), I think being able to directly tell bots to heal you or a target feels like taking bots beyond what they're supposed to be... Who hasn't been with a cleric asleep at the wheel or who casts the wrong spell at the wrong time? It happens.

I have a lot of issues I would like to see fixed with bots, but cleric group healing isn't really one of them. My cleric can keep my tank healed pretty well up through EP without cheal chains. She casts complete heal when she should, fast heals when needed, group spells where appropriate. But that's my opinion. If I wanted to heal every time, I would play a cleric, not a mage. Plus I'm too busy playing crowd control to worry about healing.

Here is what I would do with #bot heal

I would make several commands
#bot healtime
#bot healfast
#bot healcomplete

Put in a random 0-1.5 second delay then have bot cast said spell type

That way it isnt mana free or instant nor 100% reliable.

For example how often on live would u cast heal over time on puller or main tank before engagement with the enemy, same could be done this way as well as the wake up sleeping "player" to get a heal.

On Live you could ask for a heal and most of the time get it. If we're going for realism, couldn't we still have a "heal" command that has a % chance that you would get what you asked for? Sometimes it'll be a quick heal and other times a full heal. And then there are those few times where the cleric wasn't paying attention...
