Automaton AI Customization

[Alhanelem]

the auto does not continue as he was told in that if the mob move within his melee range he begins to melee even when he is not the mobs target.

I don't know why so many people insist on keeping the sharpshot at range. Unless you can't keep it alive otherwise with the tools available to you and your party, you should have it in melee range and it should be meleeing so it gets more TP. The automaton ranged attacks way too slow to not have it melee for TP.

If you absolutely can't have it up close because of too many AoEs, then really the mage frame is your best bet. If you have to restrain sharpshot to keep it alive, then you're not doing as much damage as you can with it.

HOWEVER, if you DO want to keep it at range, and the mob moves out of range, the auto should only close to ranged attack range instead of rushing in (I've noticed the behavior in this situation seems inconsistent though...)
