What exactly does a combat routine do?

[Markeo]

I know combat routines I guess do whatever is best for dps. But are you still in control of your character and it just does the attacks? Or can somebody explain this pretty well? Thanks

well depends on the combat routine. i use the TuanHAPaladinSpecialEdition for my char. there are many settings with in it like full afk which will avoid aoe and do best possible. while there are other setting like raid and dung which u are in controll of movement while the TuanHAPaladinSpecialEdition does all the rotations for you. the TuanHAPaladinSpecialEdition has so many settings and custom config you can even pause it when ever you want in the middle of its rotation

oh cool so you could do bg's and still be able to choose where your character goes?

Yes, you could. but thats not only a question of the combat routine. Even some CR's (Combat Routines) can manage it alone. It is also a question of your BotBase.
Combat bot for example lets you run. As soon as you are engaged in combat, Combatbot jumps in, and does the movement for you. If faces targets, runs to range.
Raidbot does it different. with the same combat routine, you have full control of the movement. It will not face the target, it will not move your character to combat distance. you have to do it.
Questing is another Botbase, which will do absolutely all movement for you. Gatherbot/Grindbot too.

As you see, you can do everything you like. with almost all CR's. Depending on which BotBase you choose.
If you want to run BG's and take movement for your charakter alone, chose raidbot. You can also do it with combat bot.
there are 1000 possibilities with Honorbuddy.
