Paladin Support AI on Enemies

[Reffy]

If you have a paladin on support ai with liberating exhortation, the paladin automatically tries to help allies with hostile status effects. This is good.

What isn't good is that if you have a wizard/cipher or anyone that can confuse/charm enemies, the paladin considers confused/charmed enemies as allies, and tries to use liberating exhortation on them.

 

I've looked on this forum and in the patch notes, and couldn't find anything about this.

I haven't tested this in the latest patch, but I do know this happens everytime in the previous patch.

Hello Reffy,

 

I tested out the AI and I was not able to reproduce what you spoke of. Could you please upload a save file and an output  log via dropbox so I can take a closer look?

 

Thanks a bunch!

You cant cast Liberating Exhortation on a charmed Ally.

Still happens with 2.02 beta patch.

Paladin tried to cast Liberating Exhortation on enemy charmed with Whisper of Treason.

Apologies for this late reply. I had some real life stuff going on, and I drifted away from PoE.

 

I'm not sure if I can save during combat, just before my paladin uses liberating exhortation on a charmed enemy. But I can give you some instructions how to reproduce the bug.

I'm using the 2.03 patch, I don't have Winter March.

 

Have a cipher cast 'whisper of treason' on an enemy, so he will become charmed.

Have the paladin with liberating exhortation and support AI stand next to that enemy.

This is how I can reproduce the bug.

 

Keep in mind, I'm talking about charmed enemies, not charmed party members.

I don't know how the AI works, but the paladin doesn't brake engagements to move to the charmed enemy. Sometimes the paladin doesn't use liberating exhortation at all.

I also don't know if this works on dominated enemies, or enemies that have been charmed through other ways.

 

As a side note, I'm playing on 1080x1920 resolution with 130% font scale.

The font size of the paladin support AI description is very small. The other fonts (is that a word?) are fine.

Hello Reffy,

 

I just ran some tests on our latest internal build and the paladin with the support AI on does not use Liberating Exhortation on charmed enemies. So it appears this issue has been fixed and will be in the next patch.

 

Thank you for your support.
