indika_tates Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Hello! There is one problem I can't solve while managing the new AI. There is no option for "holding the line" and I hate when my frontliners hurry into a chill fog or a wall of flame. Let's see. - Passive: It's like no AI. I suggest to modify passive just to attack anything at range without moving. This will be so valuable. - Autodefense: The main problem is that your chars will break the line as soon as an enemy dies. - Aggresive & Defensive : Useful for junk encounters but having a organized front line is generally better to put AOE non-friendly spells. I think that other solution should be adding a button to the central panel. "Hold". Just to avoid disgusting party movement. In this game positioning is 90% of the combat and having no way to manage it automatically hurts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I tend to leave the AI off 98% of the time, as my companions rarely do what I want them to. Also, I'm a micro-manager, and like to direct each member of my party. But I know what you're saying about "holding the line". Even with the AI off, characters tend to charge off into AOE affects. There have been some battles that I have done more damage to my party than the enemy did. Holding the Line was one of my biggest tactics back in BG1 & 2, especially in dungeons guarding a doorway or narrow passage. That tactic works most of the time in POE with the AI off (or at least I find that it does), but it doesn't seem to be consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
