When kiting monsters, it became apparent to me the bot does make decisions on which way to kite the monster, often circling the monster it just found and running away into the full respawn it just followed waypoints towards.

eg.

Char comes from North to South

Monster appears South

Bot runs Char within 3sqm of monster

Monster runs around bot

Bot keeps running further south to kite monster

This could be avoided if the bot was programmed so that when kiting a monster, in any form. 3sqm line 4 sqm line, 3 sqm diag etc, it move towards the previous waypoint. This avoids running into any unkilled spawns, and also provides the character less chance of being trapped. The previous waypoint is where you just cleaned all monsters so its safe to run back to that waypoint.. MUCH safer than running into a fresh spawn/area and having to blow a ton of pots to survive, or just dieing because you cant heal enough.

thats what special areas are for? Altho I agree, targetting could be improved by making such system as u just described
