Bot Information and Features

Bots are extremely intelligent and like you've never seen before.
Spawnable Bots are unlocked as you level, beginning at level 5. (1 @ L5, 2 @ L10, 3 @ L25, 4 @ L40, 5 @ L50).
After level 50 you can start unlocking more bots by killing raid targets, with unlocks listed at the bottom of this page.
Your progress of killed/unkilled raid targets and points can be tracked on CharBrowser by clicking the Raid button on your character's profile.
You can also talk to Guide Varn in The Hub for your point/unlock status.
Bots can be used in raids.
They will heal and buff across the raid as needed.
Monk bots use their epic in combat automatically if it is equipped, Mage bots can summon their epic if it is equipped. Use ^petsettype epic/^pst epic.
Bots can click any clickable equipped item via ^clickitem. IE (^clickitem 13 byclass 8) would cause all Bard bots to click their primary item.
Bots can hold and adjust all of their spells/spell types and when they can cast as well as customize all healing thresholds for bots and players. (See below for more details).
Death Touch will hit Bots if they are the primary target.
Bots will auto-invis in The Plane of Knowledge; use see-invis or invite bots to groups to interact.
Bots gain most of the passive AAs for their class automatically upon leveling.
They will honor Blocked Buffs on a player and not cast those spells on the targeted player.
Bot messages can be filtered by the Pet Responses filter.
...and so many more perks to the bots you'll experience here.
Tips
When gearing your bots, use ^iu (^itemuse) to see bots that can use the item on your cursor. Use (^iu help) for even more options.
Stances are ONLY used for Pet Heals (more info under "Pet Healing Info") and for making Non-Warriors enter a taunting state by default if set to Aggressive (^stance 5).
---This requires a zone or camp to take initial effect but will carry over thereafter. This can still be toggled off by ^taunt as usual.
If a bot isn't casting a group spell you want (Selo`s for example), make sure to click the buff off the bot that would normally cast the spell so they'll recast.
If you don't want bots to auto aggro, you can turn off autodefend and they will only attack when told. ^oo autodefend disable.
--- This can be coupled with ^guard spawned to set up a camp to pull to and then told to ^attack spawned.
These are Macros for easy spawn, invite and grouping of raids for boxes and bots --- Instructions inside so read carefully
Use RaidSetupForRaidLeader.mac on your main box (the one that is going to be the raid leader and doing all the inviting)
Use BoxSpawnRaidBots.mac for any secondary boxes with bots that need to be spawned and invited, be sure to rename this appropriately.
Below are samples that I use to spawn bots. Bones is my main that is the raid leader, Bedazz is the boxed character.
BonesDuoRaidSetup.mac
BedazzSpawnRaidBots.mac
Note
If your version of MQ2 gets stuck before grouping the bots, you're likely using a custom build and should get a proper version, but you can also delete the line /if (!${Raid.Locked}) /goto :LockLoop from RaidSetupForRaidLeader.mac

Heal Commands
These commands allow you to control when a bot or player will receive heals.
^completehealdelay
^fasthealdelay
^healdelay
^hothealdelay
NOTES:
Heal Thresholds can be used to set on any bot or player (use # commands for players, ie #healthreshold) to receive that type of heal at the set % and delay.
ALL bots regardless of who owns them will honor each individual bot's and player's chosen settings.
These are set ON each bot or player for them to be healed at that threshold, not on the bots DOING the healing.
EXAMPLE:
You want your Tank to only receive CHs every 2 seconds starting @ 80% and Fast Heals every 1 second starting @ 40%:
Target your tank bot and type:
^healthreshold 0 (disables regular heals), ^hothealthreshold 0 (disables HoT Heals), ^completehealthreshold 80 (receive CHs at 80% and below) and ^fasthealthreshold 40 (receive Fast Heals at 40% and below).
^completehealdelay 2000 (receive CHs every 2 seconds), ^fasthealdelay 1000 (receive Fast Heals every 1 second).
There are Fast Heals, Regular Heals, HoT (Heal Over Time) Heals and Complete Heals.
Miscellaneous Commands
^behindmob - Tells the bot to try to stay behind the target.
^casterrange - Sets the range for which the caster to initiate the target at.

Pets will be healed using the default delay settings and can be toggled on/off with ^holdpetheals
You can control when they start healing pets by stances
The thresholds for stances are as follows:
Balanced (default) will start with Regular Heals @ 55% and Fast @ 35%. No CHs, no HoTs.
Efficient will start with CHs @ 70%, Regular Heals @ 55%, Fast Heals @ 35%. No HoTs.
