This is false.

But you can do

Yeah thats true, but you can make bot attack elites by manually targetting them with mouse or tab button.

You can read more about it here

This is my "Standard" profile. It's a profile with all the tags that aren't filled in. This way every time you want to make a profile you can simply copy paste and fill in your info. Every thing that needs filling in has a #. You can use the search tool from your text editor.

 

[theholyone]

wow David way to just spoon feed everyone a starter... why not go ahead and make everyone's profile for them? if they can't do the beginning / standard of a profile they're obviously going to encounter MANY problems afterward..

I was going to do something like this but I am not a very patient person. Took me to long to just write the guide.

**Definately agrees With you**

This isn't very different from just looking at someone else's profiles. I don't really see your problem with this. They might struggle, but they'll just quit or they'll look it up and continue to contribute to the community with their problems. People that don't want to learn aren't even going to bother reading this guide in the first place. Way to bash someone else's effort and devotion mate.
Good job on the guide abrie and on the file david.

The original post is missing multiple tags, a few of which can be very important depending on the sort of profile.

You can force targetting of elite mobs with <TargetElites>True</TargetElites> - This info was mentioned to me by nesox and later confirmed in some of my profiles.

The method which is also used here does not flesh with sub profiles too well as if you follow it as it is written you will find all the quests are not defined in a sub profile so you have no order to when they are completed.

Take a look here; http://www.buddyforum.de/showthread...profile-for-HB2.&p=49012&viewfull=1#post49012
It is a little messy but it covers all the relevant tags you could possible use when making a profile.
