Roland Set - How to get it performing better? Also problems with getting swarmed

[eagleeye1]

I noticed the bot has some trouble playing a Crusader using Roland Set. For example, the combat routine wants to run back a bit in order to cast shield bash, rather than just spam it. I have found a fix in the Archive for this problem, but it still does it infrequently.

Another problem is that the bot stands around and does nothing for a bit. This typically happens during the Greater Rift Trial, so the bot gets a rift stone for a much lower level than it can handle. I think the problem is related to getting swarmed with monsters, like being surrounded, because it happens in tight hallways like the keep depths type of maps where there's a lot of enemies surrounding you too. The bot could just start spamming shield bash, but it doesn't. Sometimes the bot dies, or sometimes it just takes forever for the bot to smarten-up.

Also, while not related to Shield Bash (or maybe it is), I wish the bot took care of elite packs or even some trash when there was a Rift guardian around. Letting all of these monsters attack you while you focus down the rift guardian is really quite dangerous without the unity combo.

The last problem I am having is that the bot stops doing stuff in order to get health globes quite a bit. Sometimes all the bot needs to do is shield bash once or twice to be safe, but instead, the bot will run around like an idiot, trying to get a health globe. At best, this just slows the bot done tremendously. At worse, it jeopardizes the safety of the character and actually ends up getting himself killed. I wish the bot was smarter about getting health globes. I've tried to put the % to a low amount, but it still gets them anyway.

Is anyone else having these problems? Are there any known fixes? Thanks

I think I may have sort of solved some of the issues, but I think I identified where the incorrect logic is at.

In the Misc Combat settings, there is an option "Give higher priority to health globes". This setting causes the bot to do all of the things I mentioned above, except for the shield bash problem (which can sort of be fixed by editing the Crusader combat file).

While this does fix most of the problems, there really are times during combat where I do want the bot to get health globes, but of course, now it won't - even if the % thresholds are met.

I would say the logic for this setting has to be laxed - i.e. it needs to be smarter about when to grab them. For example, if you can shield bash an elite pack 2 more times to kill it, then maybe you should do that despite the fact that your health is at 40%, because the consequences of running around - through god-knows-what is on the ground - at 40% health for 30 seconds is much worse than just using 2 shield bashes to kill the elite pack.

Turning it off makes the bot run much better. Instead of getting rift trial levels 1 through 10, it's getting 20-25 now. A big difference.

I would like to say too that the bot doesn't collect the health globes to gain more primary resource with Reaper's Wraps when this setting is checked off, even after combat. My wrath will be at 19/140, and there will be a health globe on the ground, but the bot ignores it.
