Deaths from bot becoming idle when surrounded

[Breadsticks]

Hey, I've been running a WW Barb using A2 In a Rush profile. Occasionally if he gets surrounded by enemies (the disappearing snakes cause it a lot when a swarm reappears around him), he'll just sit there idle, take a bunch of shots and then die. My guess is that he's getting a movement command, but because he's totally blocked in he just sits there trying to execute the command, then dies. Is this a known issue? I see a few other people having this problem but I don't see any solutions. Any suggestions?

It's an issue with the blacklist. I'm having that problem right now and will be tracking down a solution to remove the birds and those from the blacklist.

Yeah, I've seen that mentioned, although the version of In a Rush that I'm using doesn't blacklist the birds, just the dervishes. I've heard people mention the bird thing is a problem with Trinity, not IaR. However, I see this occur even with snakes and fallen masters. It appears that the monster type doesn't matter, it just requires my Barb to be completely hemmed in.

Yeah, this happens a lot. I also thought it is a blacklist thing, but then again, they are blacklisted for a reason. Probably will be better off like it is.

I suppose there isn't a known fix for this, then? I actually removed the blacklist entirely from my IaR file, but the problem persists. Figuring this out would probably bring me from 2-4 deaths per hour to 0-1 deaths per hour. Would be pretty nice.

Yeah, this kills my chars as well. Knowing rrrix, i'd say there would be a fix for this, as it has been reported before. Wait for the next version

I don't have a fix planned for this - it actually sounds like a profile issue. What kind of mobs are surrounding the bot? Are all the mobs surrounding on the profile blacklist?

If a monster is on a blacklist, it will never, ever, be attacked. That's the whole idea of a blacklist.

It seems mob-independent. It happens frequently with the swarms of snake-people that disappear and then reappear, surrounding my Barb, but I've also seen it happen while being pinned against a wall by a few Fallen Masters, for example. The one common thread appears to be the inability of the Barb to move at all. I have no blacklist, as I took the only thing that was blacklisted (Dervish) and deleted it from the profile. Of course, the birds on the Dalgur Oasis are a separate issue, as they aren't on the blacklist but still aren't targeted. However, I've seen this happen with no Dervish/birds around at all, so I suspect it isn't related to the blacklist.

EDIT: I'm going to try running a different profile tonight (A3), and I'll observe whether or not this appears to happen. Wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being profile-related.

It also happens when a legendary item drops, while the bot is surrounded by any kind of mobs. Dune dervishes are blacklisted and i know when they surround the toon it won't attack them- that's the idea, after all. But it also happens with different mob types.
