Aye, he doesn't seem to have trouble knowing when his AoE would be good to use, but his single punch and his single range he seems to get stuck on, often he'll just fire bolt after bolt after bolt even in melee range, which is bad when he just waits between recharges. Shame, his punches are so strong it'd be cool to see him work better.

I wish he would have just been 100% melee given how terrible the AI is at choosing what attack to use. Sure, he'd be useless on flyers, but I'd take that in a heartbeat over the current situation where I'd almost rather have a second Lt. class IDF...

I think its funny that the idf pets get access to a better whirling hands than players(higher targetcap, higher damage).
Well, there aren't too many player powers on a 4 second recharge that do 570 points of damage with 0.57 seconds of animation (Energy Punch for IDF Commando at t4 Core). I think it's safe to say that MOBs are governed by different rules than players.
Its still hilarious considering how much energy melee has been discussed.
On another note are clockwork bosses supposed to have an aoe that does no damage? Or did they forgot to add the text?
Lots of players who never picked up MMs before are gonna have a hell of a time experiencing all of the wonderful AI stupidity we've all been putting up with for years! :P

Actually this is partly true and partly wrong. MOBS have a damage scale of their own, like each AT does. However, powers used by MOBS are not edited when the player version is. Which is why paragon protectors still use a version of Moment of Glory that players stopped using many years ago. It's not that they use different rules, they use older versions of powers.|

So who knows what version of energy melee they are using? I got no clue.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
The IDF Lore boss pet seems to really under perform compared to the other boss class pets-- particularly Vicky and Clockwork. The biggest problem is that both his ranged and melee attacks are on 4 second timers, which means his AI seems to wait for the respective attack to recharge rather than use both abilities.
I love the looks, but man, does his AI have difficulty deciding how to attack with two 4 second-recharge-attacks.
