combat question

[exaccuss]

Why is it that enemies outside of a boss battle, i have to manually attack to start the rotation, yet if it's in a boss battle, the rotation starts automatically?

you mean with combat assist?

behaviors for buffs and combat are inside an if(has target && in combat && not blacklisted) check

I'm using ex assist, but i just find it strange that enemies outside a boss room you have to manually start the combat :s

what i meant was, isn't the reason: you're in combat with enemies in the boss room but with the enemies outside the boss room, you are not in combat?
Outside of the boss room, you do not enter combat just because your party does.

A good rule of thumb is, if its not on your aggro list, combat assist wont attack it. This is so you dont just start attacking stuff when you target them while out of combat.
In a boss room and certain other places, the game automatically places you in combat when someone pulls, to avoid weird possible exploits when some of the party is fighting and the rest arent in combat. Since you're in combat, combat assist will start going on its own without you having to make the first attack.
