    Temperament and Spell Casting?

    What seemed like a good thing is causing my mob to get raped on a regular basis.

    DRK/WAR Qutrub spams spells, so I said hey, what if he spams drain? That'd rock! So I switched him over to 'very defensive' and it mostly worked. He spams drain and aspir. (FYI: 'somewhat defensive' + DRK mob = spams absorb spells, mostly mind for some reason.)

    This tactic fails against undead, which I had expected.

    What I hadn't expected was how many mobs use that 'move to the side when the other guy does a WS/casts a spell'. Adding that to spam casting = ugh ugh ugh.

    Two part question:

    Does anyone know if wild/tame controls how often they cast? (He's somewhat wild, I think.) If there's no control over how often spells are cast, I'm basically screwed. :/

    Second, which commands change wild/tame? Matches are so hard to get that I'd rather not guess if I don't have to.

    I really hope this can be fixed. My guy's 45, I really don't want to start over now. :/

    I already answered this in your last thread.....

    I changed my mob to tame by spamming "think" commands, so I'd guess that wild mobs are made by telling it not to think. It takes 2-3 rounds to shift temperament to the next message. I'm still not 100% sure what tame vs wild does though, can't help you there.

    I normally do "Watch your opponent then attack", "Give them a little more bite" and "Show no mercy" with those 3 commands I was able to get to extremely tame and extremely aggressive, with a higher than normal temperament level. This isn't on a magic user though.

    Oops sorry, I looked before posting and didn't see it there. *looks again and blinks* Wow, first reply, how the hell did I miss it? With three pairs of glasses, you'd think I'd not be so blind.

    Thanks again.
