## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
I had repeated crashes upon login traced to line 89 of
TogglePetSpellAutoCastAction, where a spellInfo check is missing. I
confirmed that adding the check fixed my crashing.

I don't know why there was invalid spellInfo to create the crash, as
this missing check is not a new development and I never had a crash
before, but clearly this code should be fixed in any case.

## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
The main focus on this PR is to clarify and eliminate overlap between
three very confusingly described yet important config options:
AutoUpgradeEquip, EquipmentPersistence, and IncrementalGearInit.

For context, after initialization, randombots generally get randomized
each time after logging in and periodically between
MinRandomBotRandomizeTime (configurable, default 2 hours) to
MaxRandomBotRandomizeTime (configurable, default 14 days). This
randomization happens only when the bot is idle.

Now let’s look at what those three config options currently say.
- AutoUpgradeEquip: Randombots automatically upgrade their equipment on
levelup.
- EquipmentPersistence: Enable/Disable bot equipment persistence (stop
random initialization) after certain level (EquipmentPersistenceLevel).
- IncrementalGearInit: If disabled, random bots can only upgrade
equipment through looting and quest

None of those descriptions are accurate.
- AutoUpgradeEquip determines if randombots, upon leveling up, refresh
ammo, reagents, food, consumables, potions, and, ONLY IF
IncrementalGearInit is also enabled and EquipmentPersistence is
disabled, upgrade equipment (yes, three config options required for this
one thing).
-	EquipmentPersistence affects both equipment and talents. 
- Disabling IncrementalGearInit does not prevent randombots from
changing their equipment through the login/periodic randomization
process unless EquipmentPersistence is enabled.

These config options shouldn’t overlap with or be dependent on each
other, and their names and descriptions should reflect what they
actually do. Thus, this PR does the following:
- AutoUpgradeEquip solely controls whether or not randombots
automatically upgrade their gear upon level up. No other config option
is involved for this purpose, and AutoUpgradeEquip no longer impacts
inventory items. This does mean that it is no longer possible to stop
randombots from being given ammo, potions, etc. when they level up. I
tend to think that randombots as they currently are cannot fully
function otherwise so I have no issue with the loss of this ability, but
if there is disagreement, then we need to introduce a new config option.
AutoUpgradeEquip is also now set to true in PlayerbotAIConfig to reflect
that the default is true in the .dist.
- I originally wanted to combine EquipmentPersistence and
EquipmentPersistenceLevel into a single config option that also included
talents in the name, but EquipmentPersistence is used in the level
brackets mod so I don’t want to make a breaking change there. I settled
for making EquipmentPersistence enabled by default and also reducing
EquipmentPersistenceLevel to 1 by default, in effect entirely disabling
periodic/login randomization of randombot talents and gear by default. I
only see people complain about these features so I think unless there is
some compelling performance or structural reason to the contrary, the
default should be that randombots do not continuously randomize their
talents and equipment.
- IncrementalGearInit is eliminated. There are two real functional
impacts: (1) as noted above, randombots cannot be blocked from receiving
standard inventory items upon level-up (though the way it is currently
being gated does not make sense anyway), and (2) you can no longer have
equipment persistence for equipment only but not talents (I cannot
imagine anybody would ever want to do that, and I don't think it was
even intended given the strange interaction between config options that
was needed to even accomplish that before).
- For all these settings, the config descriptions are updated to try to
be clear about what the player is actually configuring.

Beyond that, I made some clean-up changes to the config to fix some
typos and try to shorten it in places, and I also deleted a few config
options that do not appear in operative code anymore (and any
corresponding references in PlayerbotAIConfig). I also deleted some
comments and made some minor style changes in
AutoMaintenanceOnLevelupAction.cpp.

- To test AutoUpgradeEquip, use the gm command .level 1 while targeting
an rndbot.
- To test EquipmentPersistence, the only way I could find to force an
incremental randomization was to use .playerbots rndbot level BotName.
This will do an incremental randomization and a level up. However, this
level does not go through the AutoMaintenanceOnLevelupAction path so
just disregard the +1 level aspect and consider it a pure test of
EquipmentPersistence.

## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->

This PR makes three changes to UseTrinketAction:
1. It adds health and mana gating (based on existing config thresholds)
for bots to activate mana recovery, mana efficiency, and defensive
trinkets. The thresholds are mediumMana (default 40%) for mana recovery
trinkets, highMana (default 65%) for mana efficiency trinkets, and
lowHealth (default 45%) for defensive trinkets.
2. It removes the old overinclusive procflag/specproc gate introduced by
PR 1385, which prevents bots from using dozens of valid trinkets,
including some extremely powerful ones (such as Skull of Gul’dan, the
iconic TBC expansion BiS trinket for all casters), and replaces it with
a narrower exclusion that still addresses the original issue.

- Regarding PR 1385, focusing on liyunfan’s post specifically, I
interpet the issue to be relating to trinkets where the item data is
screwed up such that a passive effect was implemented as an on-use
spell. I had AI do a scan, and it seems that issue impacts only 2
trinkets in the game, Oracle Talisman of Ablution and Frenzyheart
Insignia of Fury, and specifically only the versions of those items that
are not legitimately obtainable (unclear why they exist at all). I’ve
excluded those trinkets from bots via the config now, and this PR
maintains the guards against those trinkets regardless but does so in a
narrower fashion. PR 1385's approach of using ProcFlags != 0 (i.e.,
excluding all on-use trinkets with non-zero ProcFlags) works only if
proc metadata can be used to distinguish between active/passive
trinkets, and that’s not even close to being the case. AI came up with
44 false positives, including many significant trinkets beyond Skull of
Gul’dan such as the ZG Hakkar quest trinkets, Badge of the Swarmguard,
Petrified Scarab, Scarab Brooch, Eye of the Dead, Essence of the Martyr,
Abacus of Violent Odds, Ribbon of Sacrifice, and Pendant of the Violet
Eye (and I’m not mentioning WotLK trinkets only because I don’t know
anything about what is relevant for that expansion).

3. It fixes an issue where bots were not respecting trinket cooldowns in
some cases. This resulted because trinkets with shared cooldown
categories (i.e., those that are not stackable) would substitute the
individual trinket cooldowns with shared category cooldowns, which let
bots spam usages of trinkets, by tracking per-item and per-category
trinket cooldowns locally. The root of this is based in AC; I don't know
if it should be considered a bug or not, but regardless it doesn't
impact players, presumably because cooldowns are enforced on the client
side.

- Here’s an illustration to explain the issue in practice. Skull of
Gul’dan has a 240s cooldown and Shifting Naaru Sliver has a 180s
cooldown, and they share a cooldown category so their usages cannot be
stacked. The shared cooldown matches the length of the on-use effect (so
20s for Skull and 15s for Sliver). The below is what can happen without
this PR (and is what I observed in testing).

- t = 0s: Shifting Naaru Sliver used, writes its 90s personal cooldown
and 15s shared category cooldown.
- t = 15s: Skull of Gul’dan used, writes its 120s personal cooldown and
20s shared category cooldown. Skull’s shared category cooldown
overwrites Sliver’s spell-cooldown entry, giving Sliver 20s left on its
personal cooldown instead of 75s.
- t = 35s: Sliver incorrectly appears ready and can be used again (55s
sooner than should be possible). Then Sliver’s shared category cooldown
in turn overwrites Skull’s longer personal cooldown.
- t = 50s: Skull incorrectly appears ready and can be used again (85s
sooner than should be possible).
  - Repeat.

<!--
If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and
it is very obvious it will not have
any impact on performance, you may skip these question. If necessary, a
maintainer may ask you for them later.
-->

<!-- Please answer the following: -->
- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior.
- Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many
bots.

The logic runs through the existing trinket use code. Specifically:

- Helpers are used to classify on-use trinket effects into mana
restoration, mana efficiency, and defensive/tank categories using
spell-effect checks
- Existing configured mana and health thresholds are applied to those
trinkets
- The old procflag gate is replaced with a one-time cached set of mixed
ON_USE/ON_EQUIP trinket spell ids
- Two small cooldown maps per bot are tracked in UseTrinketAction: one
for item cooldowns and one for shared category cooldowns


## How to Test the Changes
<!--
- Step-by-step instructions to test the change.
- Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, number of bots, specific
configuration).
- Expected behavior and how to verify it.
-->

I did all of these things, but verification is always good. Overall, I
think it is worth running with this PR merged into test-staging if/when
that happens and keeping an eye on overall performance.
1. Equip a bot with a trinket referenced above, such as Skull of
Gul'dan, and confirm it is now used in combat.
2. Test mana-based classes with mana recovery and mana-efficiency
trinkets and confirm they are used only when below the applicable
configured mana threshold. An easy one to check is Glimmering Naaru
Sliver because it is a channel.
3. Test defensive on-use trinkets and confirm they are used only when
health is below the configured low-health threshold. Something like
Shadowmoon Insignia, which increases maximum health, is pretty obvious.
4. Confirm that the error versions of Oracle/Frenzyheart don’t stack
auras on bots (i.e., the bug addressed in PR 1385 has not returned). You
can do this by having a bot kill mobs and check .listauras, though I
checked through logging in the code because auras are noisy as hell.
5. Equip a bot with two trinkets that have shared cooldowns. I used
Skull of Gul’dan and Shifting Naaru Sliver. Go fight a mostly
tank-and-spank boss, such as Gruul. Use an add-on like Skada that tracks
buffs. You should see that before this PR, bots will use the trinkets
multiple times in one cooldown period, and after, they observe the
actual cooldowns.

## Impact Assessment
<!-- As a generic test, before and after measure of pmon (playerbot pmon
tick) can help you here. -->
- Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling
poorly with thousands of bots?
    - - [ ] No, not at all
    - - [x] Minimal impact (**explain below**)
    - - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**)

Any additional impact is confined to UseTrinketAction. The exclusion of
the busted trinkets uses a cache that is built once per server process
followed by constant-time lookups. The per-bot trinket cooldown maps
also use constant-time lookups and store only a few timestamp entries
per bot.

- Does this change modify default bot behavior?
    - - [x] No
    - - [ ] Yes (**explain why**)



- Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance
complexity?
    - - [ ] No
    - - [x] Yes (**explain below**)

Sort of--trinkets previously didn't have any consideration for effects
with respect to usage so that is new. I think it is necessary though to
have half-decent bot trinket usage, and there could be further
refinement for how bots decide to use trinkets based on this structure.

Bots also suck at using DPS trinkets properly, but I don't think there's
a simple way to address that unlike with mana recovery or defensive
trinkets. So that's to consider another day.

## Impact Assessment
<!-- As a generic test, before and after measure of pmon (playerbot pmon

- Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling
poorly with thousands of bots?
    - - [x] No, not at all
    - - [ ] Minimal impact (**explain below**)
    - - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**)



- Does this change modify default bot behavior?
    - - [ ] No
    - - [x] Yes (**explain why**)

1. Bots now reset their AI on every SMSG_GROUP_SET_LEADER packet, so old
leader strategies get cleared after a leader change.
2. Random bots auto-bind their master to a real-player group member
during reset botAI, so commands like give leader and follow logic that
depend on HasActivePlayerMaster() start working for them.
3. On OnBotLogin, bots no longer steal leadership from a real player,
they only force the leader change if the current leader is a bot or
offline.

- Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance
complexity?
    - - [ ] No
    - - [x] Yes (**explain below**)

Adds two small guards: an "is current leader a real player" check on
login, and a "find first real-player member" loop inside ResetAiAction.
Both reuse existing patterns (IsRealPlayer(), the OnPlayerLogin
master-assign loop).

Autogear suffixes (#2415)
<!--
Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that

1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master.
2. Read the guidelines below before submitting.
3. Don't delete parts of this template.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND

Every action and decision executes PER BOT AND PER TRIGGER. Small

Default behavior must be cheap in processing; expensive behavior must be
opt-in.

Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles.
-->

## Pull Request Description
Suffix scoring was already wired up in playerbots, bots could evaluate
suffix items they owned, but factory init scored candidates with
randomPropertyId = 0 and equipped via EquipNewItem which doesn't roll
suffixes, so suffix items always looked like junk and never got picked.

Added a cached item_enchantment_template pool in RandomItemMgr, a
PickBestRandomPropertyId helper that picks the best suffix per bot
class/spec, and added it on the equipped item via
SetItemRandomProperties.

Tested levels 20-80, suffixes match spec. Closes #2370.



## Feature Evaluation
<!--
If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and
it is very obvious it will not have
any impact on performance, you may skip these question. If necessary, a
maintainer may ask you for them later.
-->

<!-- Please answer the following: -->
- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior.

For items with RandomProperty != 0 or RandomSuffix != 0, run the
item_enchantment_template pool once, score each candidate suffix against
the bot's existing class/spec stat weights, keep the highest, and stamp
that id on the item right after EquipNewItem. Items without a suffix
pool skip the helper entirely. Without this, every suffix template
scores as base stats only (often near zero) and never gets picked during
factory init.

- Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many
bots.

Startup: one SELECT entry, ench FROM item_enchantment_template (few
hundred rows), parsed into an unordered_map<uint32, vector<uint32>>
once. No SQL afterwards.
Per bot during init: PickBestRandomPropertyId only runs on candidates
that actually have a suffix pool. Each call is a hash lookup plus a loop
over 5-15 enchantment ids, each doing DBC lookups already used by the
scoring code. Cost is mostly by the existing CalculateRandomProperty
work, not new logic.
Scales linearly with bot count, same as the rest of factory init. No new
per-tick work.


## How to Test the Changes

1. Generate a fresh random bot at level 20-79 and use autogear (cloth,
leather, mail, plate, lots of suffix gear at that range).
2. Inspect the bot's gear. Items with names like "of the Eagle", "of the
Monkey", "of Healing", etc... should be equipped, with the suffix stats
visible on the tooltip.
3. Generate a level 80 bot at high gear-score limit. Confirm it still
equips raid epics normally (epics have no suffix pool, so this path is
untouched).



## Impact Assessment
<!-- As a generic test, before and after measure of pmon (playerbot pmon
tick) can help you here. -->
- Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling

    - - [x] No, not at all

    - - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**)



- Does this change modify default bot behavior?
    - - [ ] No
    - - [x] Yes (**explain why**)
Bots now consider random-suffix items during factory init and equip them
with the best suffix for their class/spec. Before, suffix items were
effectively invisible to init autogear because they scored as base stats
only. This is the intended fix for #2370.


- Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance
complexity?
    - - [ ] No
    - - [x] Yes (**explain below**)
Added one new public method on StatsWeightCalculator
(PickBestRandomPropertyId) and one new cache in RandomItemMgr
(LoadEnchantmentPool + GetEnchantmentPool). The candidate list in
InitEquipment changed from vector<uint32> to vector<pair<uint32, int32>>
to carry the chosen suffix id alongside the item id. Logic mirrors
existing patterns in the same files (DBC lookups, SQL-backed caches,
signed randomPropertyId encoding), no new abstractions, no new wrappers.

Used AI to help me find the bug. It mapped the existing scoring pipeline
and pointed out that PlayerbotFactory::InitEquipment was scoring
candidates with randomPropertyId = 0 and equipping via EquipNewItem
(which doesn't roll suffixes), so the scoring side was already built,
just never fed real suffix ids during init. I reviewed and tested all
the code in-game across levels 20-80 and multiple classes/specs.

Overhaul party buff/greater blessing system (#2358)
## Pull Request Description

These changes I originally made for myself because as a person who
really likes to raid with bots, I felt like the current group buff
system is fundamentally broken, and I needed something more consistent
and optimal. I debated a lot whether to PR this because it's such an
extensive overhaul that was almost entirely reliant on AI, and I know
that wishmaster still has a PR open regarding the greater blessings. I
decided to after a couple of conversations so at least people can look
at it and see if it's something that they want.

The tl;dr version is that this PR overhauls buff handling in two related
areas:
1. It adds a dedicated greater blessing assignment system.
2. It generalizes party/raid reagent-buff handling for Paladins, Druids,
Mages, and Priests.

Under this PR, greater blessings are determined by assignments for the
current group, and those assignments are determined based on:

1. a hardcoded priority list of blessings for each spec;
2. the number of Paladins in the group; and 
3. whether any Paladins have talents for Blessing of Sanctuary, Improved
Blessing of Might, or Improved Blessing of Wisdom.

Assignment determinations are cached in a value to avoid constant
reevaluation.

The exact priority list is:

- All casters: Kings, Wisdom, Sanctuary, Might
- Physical-only DPS (Rogues, Warriors, DKs): Might, Kings, Sanctuary,
N/A
- Hybrid DPS (Enh, Ret, Hunters, Cats): Might, Kings, Wisdom, Sanctuary
- Druid tanks: Kings, Might, Sanctuary, Wisdom
- Warrior and DK tanks: Kings, Might, Sanctuary, N/A
- Paladin tank: Sanctuary, Might, Wisdom, Kings

Note that Sanctuary is preferred over Kings for Paladin tanks because of
the mana regen component but deprioritized for other tanks because Kings
provides Agility. The extra 3% damage reduction from Sanctuary does not
stack with Disc Priests’ Renewed Hope, which will have 100% uptime.

For group buffs, logic is centralized so that class triggers use the
same gating and upgrade rules for Gift of the Wild, Arcane Brilliance,
Prayer of Fortitude, Prayer of Spirit, and Prayer of Shadow Protection.
Also, Shadow Protection is now a default strategy for Priests (rshadow,
which existed before but wasn’t added by default).

I’ve added a config setting for the greater blessing system and adjusted
the current config setting for group buffs. In each case, you can pick
whether to disable the feature entirely, use it in all groups, or use it
only in raid groups. The default is raid only for greater blessings and
all groups for group buffs. Note that for group buffs, even if the
config is enabled, they will be used only if at least 3 group/raid
members on the same map are missing the buff family. This is mainly to
stop group buff spamming during wipe recovery as bots are revived
one-by-one.

I renamed the Paladin buff strategies to align them with the actual
blessing names:
- `bhealth` -> `bsanc`
- `bmana` -> `bwisdom`
- `bdps` -> `bmight`
- `bstats` -> `bkings`

This is an intentional breaking change for saved strategy strings. Bots
will need a one-time strategy reset after update.

I removed bots telling you when they are out of reagents for greater
blessings. If people like that though, I can add it back.

A small cleanup is also included in TankPaladinStrategy: Holy Shield was
subject to three overlapping health triggers with the same priority; I
removed the two lower health thresholds which have no purpose.

## Feature Evaluation

- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior.

I’m going to let the AI answer this one.
> The minimum logic is:
> - a shared config-gated check for whether group/raid buff variants are
allowed
> - a shared way to treat single and group variants as equivalent aura
families
> - a shared upgrade path from single-target buff to group buff when the
group variant is appropriate
> - a Paladin-only cached assignment model that decides which blessing
family each Paladin should cover for the current group
> - trigger/action wiring that only attempts casts when a group member
is actually missing the assigned buff
>
> This avoids scattering separate per-class heuristics across many
triggers and actions.

- Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many
bots.

Processing cost should be minimal but non-zero. The general party buff
changes are limited to existing buff trigger paths and mostly replace
duplicated checks with shared helpers. They do not add expensive default
per-tick behavior outside those existing trigger evaluations.

The Paladin greater blessing logic does add extra decision-making, but
it is limited to Paladins, gated by config and group eligibility,
subject to a delayed trigger evaluation of only once per 4s, and cached
per group assignment set instead of recomputing the full assignment
model on every action attempt.

This PR also increases the throttle duration for group buff triggers to
limit performance impact; I’m open to adjustments to these durations:
- Mark of the Wild triggers were increased from 4s to 8s
- Arcane Intellect triggers were increased from 4s to 8s
- Priest buff triggers were increased to 8s (previously, Fortitude was
6s, Spirit was 4s, and Shadow Protection had no throttle)
- There is now a 5s delay on buffing (greater blessings and group buffs)
after bots log in—I was getting bots spamming buffs as soon as they
logged in even when it was not necessary

I’ve tested with pmon, and the impact is minimal—these are very cheap
triggers even compared to standard bot rotational ability triggers.

## How to Test the Changes

1. Try different config settings to confirm that they work to
enable/disable greater blessings/group buffs in the configured scenarios

2. For greater blessing changes:
   - test with one Paladin in a party/raid
   - test with multiple Paladins in a party/raid
- confirm the Paladins divide blessing coverage instead of repeatedly
overwriting each other
- include at least one Paladin with Improved Blessing of Might and make
sure it casts Might over Paladins without the talent; check the same
with a Paladin with Improved Blessing of Wisdom
- do not include a Paladin that knows Sanctuary, confirm any Paladin
tank receives Kings instead (you’ll need a low-level Paladin for this
since Sanctuary is a prot talent)
- confirm bots cast blessings only when a member is actually missing the
relevant blessing family
   - confirm there is a 5s delay on buffing when bots log in

3. For group buff changes:
   - confirm there is a 5s delay on buffing when bots log in
- confirm that single buffs are used when there aren’t at least three
unbuffed members in the same map, even if group buffs are enabled in the
config

4. For all buffs, test with reagents missing to confirm fallback to
single-target buffs and single blessings

5. Confirm the Paladin buff strategy names are changed after resetting

Yes—that is the purpose of this PR, to change default buffing behavior.

- Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance
complexity?
    - - [ ] No
    - - [x] Yes (**explain below**)

Yes, but I think it’s inevitable to add complexity to get greater
blessings to function consistently, given the challenges brought by
their mechanic of applying across each class.

Druid Overhaul (#2392)
<img width="1274" height="952" alt="druids"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7390d7e5-ed99-4eb3-8802-8c2f457d7c86"
/>


Hello playerbots community!! After my pvp gear update, I was itching to
get back to class strategies. I was testing raids, and noticed that
druids... Well, they kinda sucked.

They had glaring issues, would randomly die from bugs, and overall felt
bad. Looking at issues discussed on github/discord, I decided to start
working on a druid update. I started with the boomkin, and made a
boomkin PR, but there were some technical issues with the storing of the
eclipse mapping not clearing, and it was not good...

I closed that PR, and went back to the drawing board, with one goal in
mind: Make the druid class function as best as possible WHILST keeping
the code consistent with what already exists. There is a TON of _yoink
and twist_ (copy and paste with or without slight edits), and anything
that is custom/new is discussed in the section below. I am very proud
and excited to release this though - after 45 days of coding and
testing, the druid finally feels good to have in the group.

Disclaimer - this PR aims to address bugs, utility, and overall
performance of Druids. It will not magically make them top DPS. I have
done hours of testing, and druids can occasionally top the charts - but
inconsistently. Boomkins are inconsistent due to Eclipse (until later
gear phases), and Feral Cats are incredibly dependent on positioning,
timing, combo points, energy, clearcasting procs... The stars have to
align for things to go right for the Cat (It doesn't help that all
movement, targeting, and actions are ran through the same engine, so
cats really suffer in boss fights with scripted movement) But the
changes I have made help those situations occur a fair bit more
frequently. Let's dive in!

## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->

A druid overhaul across all four specs — new Cat stealth and CC systems,
Eclipse tracking and rotation fixes for Balance, a Bear threat rotation
rework, a Resto healing priority overhaul, and a restructured CC and AoE
strategy architecture.

---

## Talent & Glyph Config

- **Balance:** Moved points out of Improved Moonfire and into Nature's
Reach for threat reduction and extended cast range.
- **Bear:** Moved points out of King of the Jungle (15% enrage damage)
and into Feral Instinct for increased Swipe damage and AoE threat.
- **Cat:** Swapped the Glyph of Typhoon (useless for feral) for Glyph of
Dash, which benefits the cat a ton in prowl.
- **Resto:** Swapped Glyph of Rejuvenation for Glyph of Nourish (better
HPS for difficult content), and Glyph of Typhoon (useless for resto) for
Glyph of Dash. Moved one point from Nature's Bounty to Empowered Touch.

---

## Balance

- **New skill - Typhoon:** Added Typhoon, triggered by "enemy within
melee," using cone targeting logic ported from Cone of Cold. Typhoon is
from the "balance pvp" spec only, and is housed in the shared AoE
strategy.

- **New skill - Cyclone:** Added Cyclone targeting the RTI CC-marked
target (default moon). Incapacitates for 6 seconds with full damage
immunity — cannot be broken by AoE. Priority 24.0f > Hibernate (23.0f) >
Entangling Roots (22.0f). *(See CC Implementation in the code notes
below.)*

- **Bug fix - Eclipse cooldown tracking:** Eclipse procs referenced a
cooldown not registered in the database, so boomkins immediately
reverted to the wrong filler after an Eclipse buff fell off. Fixed with
manual timestamp tracking. *(See Eclipse Cooldown Tracking in the code
notes below.)*

- **Bug fix — Starfall no longer pulls out-of-combat hostile enemies:**
Previously fired on cooldown regardless of surroundings — its 36-yard
radius (the largest AoE in the game) could silently pull entire
unengaged packs. Now suppressed if any non-combat hostile NPC is within
40 yards. *(See Starfall Pull Safety in the code notes below.)*

- **Filler changed to Starfire:** Starfire is now the filler (priority
5.4) over Wrath (5.3). Starfire has a 100% spellpower coefficient vs.
Wrath's 12%, is more mana-efficient per point of damage, and has a 100%
eclipse proc chance on crit vs. Wrath's 40%. In practice this
significantly reduced mana consumption, especially before level 40 when
Moonkin Form's mana-on-crit passive isn't available.

- **Moonfire / Insect Swarm on Attacker rework:** Previously tied to the
light AoE trigger (2+ enemies, 13.0f), causing low-level boomkins to
multi-dot instead of casting fillers — mana-inefficient at low levels
where targets rarely live long enough to tick the full DoT. Re-added as
dedicated on-attacker triggers at lower priority than the fillers, so
they fire only as a movement fallback. The triggers have been changed to
override the TTL check (time to life), similar to the warlocks DoTs.

- **Hurricane channel check rework:** Previously cancelled based on
distance from the bot — enemies could leave the AoE but remain within 30
yards, keeping the channel alive. Now reads the Hurricane
DynamicObject's actual radius and counts only attackers physically
inside it. *(See Hurricane Channel Cancel in the code notes below.)*

---

## Cat

- **Prowl (Stealth):** Implemented using the same logic as the existing
Rogue stealth system. The bot enters Prowl when out of combat and a
target is within range. Engagement distances are:
  - 30 yards baseline
  - −10 yards if the target already has a victim (engaged in combat)
  - −10 more yards if the target is also moving (minimum 10 yards)
  - +15 yards in Battlegrounds or Arenas
- Enemy player targets take priority over grind/DPS targets when
evaluating distance.

- **Prowl openers:** The bot approaches the target in Prowl and opens
based on approach angle and level:
- **From behind:** Ravage (learned at level 32). Before Ravage is
learned, Shred is used as the opener.
- **From the front:** Pounce (stun + bleed, learned at level 36). Before
Pounce is learned, Claw is used as the opener.

- **New skill - Maim:** Added Maim as a 5 second stun-finisher at 5
combo points, but only against player targets. It will only fire when
Rip and Savage Roar are already active.

- **Innervate on healer:** Cats now cast Innervate when a healer drops
below the low mana threshold (`AiPlayerbot.LowMana`, default 15%). *(See
Healer Low Mana Framework in the code notes below for the shared
value/trigger infrastructure backing this.)*

- **Predator's Swiftness with CC spells:** Added a twotrigger pairing
Predator's Swiftness (the instant-cast proc from finishing moves) with
the existing CC triggers (Cyclone, Hibernate, Entangling Roots). Feral
cats can now instant-cast CC the RTI CC-marked target (default moon)
after a finisher using the Predator's Swiftness proc.

- **Predator's Swiftness with Rebirth:** Added a twotrigger pairing
Predator's Swiftness with the combat resurrection trigger. Cats can now
use a Predator's Swiftness proc to instantly cast Rebirth on a dead
party member.

- **Bug fix - Autoattack no longer breaks prowl:**
`MeleeAction::isUseful()` now returns false while the bot has the Prowl
aura, preventing autoattack from breaking stealth before an opener spell
fires. The code comment notes this pattern should be reused for a future
Rogue autoattack in stealth fix.

- **Bug fix - Non-prowl skills no longer break prowl:** `isUseful()`
overrides were added to Feral Charge (Cat), Mangle (Cat), Swipe (Cat),
Rake to return false while Prowl is active, preventing accidental prowl
breaks before the opener fires.

- **Bug fix - Clearcasting proc with energy spells:** Added dedicated
`ClearcastingTrigger` / action pairings to ensure Clearcasting procs are
consumed immediately. On single target, Shred is used; on AoE, Swipe
(Cat) is used. This prevents the cat from using it's valuable
clearcasting proc on a low energy spell (rake, feral charge - cat,
cower, etc). This also fixes a bug where Clearcasting would sometimes
linger for 4+ seconds without being used, as energy-based spells do not
recognize the free cast and would not fire until their energy condition
was met.

- **Tiger's Fury rework:** TF previously fired on cooldown as a default
action, meaning the bot would use it at full or near-full energy and
gain no benefit from the energy it generates. The trigger now requires
energy to be below 30 before firing, ensuring the bot recovers the full
60 energy granted by the King of the Jungle talent.

- **Faerie Fire (Feral) rework for cat:** With Omen of Clarity, spams on
cooldown to fish for Clearcasting procs. Without it, applies as a normal
debuff and does not reapply while active. *(See Faerie Fire (Feral)
Trigger in the code notes below.)*

- **Feral Charge toggleable strategy:** Feral Charge (Cat) is now housed
in a dedicated `feral charge` strategy, enabled by default for Cat
druids. It can be disabled with `co -feral charge` and re-enabled with
`co +feral charge`. Disabling this strategy can be useful for encounters
where charging in would be unfavorable.

- **Rake on Melee Attackers removed:** The Rake on Melee Attackers
action was removed from the Cat AoE strategy. Applying Rake to multiple
attackers and spreading out combo points produced far lower AoE DPS than
simply continuing the single-target rotation.

- **Antiquated Omen of Clarity framework removed:**
`OmenOfClarityTrigger` and `CastOmenOfClarityAction` were not functional
and have been removed. The `ClearcastingTrigger` appropriately tracks
Omen of Clarity procs. I believe this was from TBC when Omen of Clarity
was a spell.

---

## Bear

- **Berserk tracking for Mangle:** A `berserk active` trigger fires
Mangle (Bear) at priority 25.0f while Berserk is up. Previously, Mangle
sat at 5.5f in the default actions while Swipe (Bear) sat at 25.0f on
the light AoE trigger — meaning in any 2+ enemy encounter, Swipe would
always win regardless of Berserk. Now Mangle (25.0f) sits above the AoE
triggers (24.5f), so it takes priority during Berserk. It's pretty cool
to see a Bear's dps on pull!

- **Faerie Fire (Feral) rework:** Previously applied once and stopped.
Now spams on cooldown for continuous threat generation (~3.5k threat per
cast at level 80), and serves as a ranged soft-taunt fallback on the
`lose aggro` trigger when Growl is on cooldown. *(See Faerie Fire
(Feral) Trigger in the code notes below.)*

- **Lacerate rework:** Previously, lacerate was a low priority default
action and bears had no duration awareness. They would occasionally let
5 stacks of Lacerate fall off, resulting in pretty significant threat
loss. Now, `LacerateTrigger` fires when the target has no Lacerate
debuff, the stack count is below 5, or the remaining duration is ≤ 6
seconds.

- **Demoralizing Roar on single target:** Previously, Demoralizing Roar
only fired on the medium AoE trigger (3+ enemies, skipped on bosses). A
dedicated trigger now applies it in any encounter, provided Vindication,
Demoralizing Shout, or Curse of Weakness are not already present, as
they don't stack with Demoralizing Roar.

- **Bug fix - Rebirth on bears:** Bears no longer attempt to cast
Rebirth in combat. The generic combat resurrection trigger was firing
for all druid specs, causing bears to shift out of Dire Bear Form
mid-fight to cast Rebirth — dropping their armor and HP while still
holding aggro. Lots of sudden tank deaths...

- **Feral Charge toggleable strategy:** Feral Charge (Bear) is now
housed in a dedicated `feral charge` strategy, enabled by default for
Bear druids. It can be disabled with `co -feral charge` and re-enabled
with `co +feral charge`. Disabling this strategy can be useful for
encounters where charging in would be unfavorable.

---

## Resto

- **Blanketing strategy:** Added a `blanketing` strategy (enabled by
default, `co -blanketing` to disable) that pre-HoTs group members with
Wild Growth and Rejuvenation regardless of current health, prioritizing
tanks → melee → ranged to maximize Revitalize uptime. *(See Blanketing
Strategy in the code notes below.)*

- **Nature's Swiftness → instant Healing Touch combo:** Nature's
Swiftness was previously included in the boost strategy, where it would
fire proactively on cooldown regardless of context. This wasted the proc
on situations where it provided no benefit. It is now exclusively
reactive — triggered at high priority (56.0f) when a party member hits
critical health. A paired `nature's swiftness active` trigger then
immediately fires Healing Touch (55.0f) on the lowest-health party
member, consuming the proc as an instant-cast emergency heal.

- **Lifebloom priority lowered (29.0f → 13.0f):** Lifebloom on the main
tank is cast on Omen of Clarity procs. At 29.0f it previously
outprioritised all low health reactive healing (21.4f), meaning a
Clearcasting proc while a party member was at 25–44% HP would cause the
bot to cast Lifebloom on the tank instead of Swiftmend or Nourish on the
injured target. Lowered to 13.0f so it fires only when no reactive
healing is queued.

- **Healing spell priority order reworked:** All three reactive
categories (critical, low, medium) now follow the same sequence:
Swiftmend → Wild Growth → Nourish → Regrowth → Healing Touch.

- **Tranquility toggleable strategy:** Tranquility is now housed in a
dedicated `tranquility` strategy, enabled by default for Resto druids.
It can be disabled with `co -tranquility`. In raids, Tranquility only
heals the druid's own group — not the full raid — making it
situationally poor during raid-wide damage or heavy movement phases.
Disabling this strategy lets players suppress the cast on those
encounters without affecting the rest of the healing rotation.

---

## CC & Strategy

- **Boost strategy:** The boost strategy is assigned to all druid specs
by default. It is spec-gated internally — Balance druids use it for
Force of Nature (treants on cooldown), and Feral druids (both cat and
bear) use it for Berserk.

- **CC strategy enabled by default:** The CC strategy was previously not
assigned to druids by default. It is now enabled for Balance and Feral
Cat, with behavior gated by spec:
- Balance receives the full RTI CC trigger set (Cyclone, Hibernate,
Entangling Roots).
- Feral cats only receive RTI CC triggers when Predator's Swiftness is
active (see above).

- **AoE strategy reorganized:** All AoE spells — Hurricane, Starfall,
Typhoon, Swipe (Cat), and DoTs on attackers (Moonfire, Insect Swarm) —
are now handled by the shared AoE strategy, consistent with how the rest
of the playerbot project structures AoE logic. This does not affect Bear
druids.

- **Aquatic Form while submerged:** The non-combat strategy now shifts
into Aquatic Form when the bot is fully submerged out of combat
(`LIQUID_MAP_UNDER_WATER`). If the bot is in another shapeshift (Bear,
Cat, Moonkin, Tree), it first shifts to caster form as a prerequisite
before entering Aquatic Form. The trigger intentionally does not fire at
the water surface (`LIQUID_MAP_IN_WATER`), or use the "swimming"
trigger, because it caused the druid to loop caster form and aquatic
form endlessly while surfaced.

---

## Code Consolidation & Refactoring

- The Bear, Cat, Heal, and Caster strategy files have been renamed to
Bear, Cat, Balance, and Resto respectively, to match the naming
conventions used elsewhere in the project.
- The Melee and Offheal strategy files have been deleted. The offheal
healing logic is preserved in full — it now lives as an optional
strategy (`CatOffhealStrategy`) inside `CatDruidStrategy`, sharing the
same action node factories as the base cat strategy rather than
duplicating them.
- All action relevance values across the druid strategies have been
converted from named constants (e.g. `ACTION_NORMAL`, `ACTION_HIGH + 4`)
to explicit numerical floats (e.g. `10.0f`, `24.0f`). This makes
priority ordering immediately visible in the source without needing to
cross-reference the constant definitions.

---

## New Code & Project References

### Eclipse Cooldown Tracking (`DruidActions.cpp`)

The previous implementation tracked the Eclipse cooldown using
`EclipseSolarCooldownTrigger` and `EclipseLunarCooldownTrigger`, both of
which extended `SpellCooldownTrigger` and called
`bot->HasSpellCooldown(48517/48518)`. `SpellCooldownTrigger` is the
standard project pattern for this — it works correctly for spells whose
cooldowns are registered in the database. However, Eclipse (Solar) and
Eclipse (Lunar) both have **Cooldown: n/a** in the DB.
`HasSpellCooldown` always returned false, so boomkins never respected
the cooldown and would revert to the wrong filler immediately after an
Eclipse buff fell off.

Since the cooldown can't be read from the DB, the fix tracks it
manually. When `CastWrathAction::isUseful()` or
`CastStarfireAction::isUseful()` detects that the corresponding Eclipse
aura has become active, it records the current timestamp and suppresses
the opposing filler for 30 seconds — the actual in-game cooldown
duration.

The timestamps are stored using `ManualSetValue<time_t>`, the same
pattern as `LastSpellCastTimeValue`
(`src/Ai/Base/Value/LastSpellCastTimeValue.h`), which is already used
throughout the project to record when spells were last cast. Two new
value classes — `EclipseSolarProcTimeValue` and
`EclipseLunarProcTimeValue` — are registered in a new
`DruidValueContextInternal` factory inside `DruidAiObjectContext.cpp`,
following the same factory pattern as `DruidTriggerFactoryInternal` and
`DruidAiObjectContextInternal` in the same file. Because these values
live in the per-bot `AiObjectContext`, they are automatically destroyed
when the bot logs out — no manual cleanup needed, and no shared state
between bots.

---

### Healer Low Mana Framework (`PartyMemberToHeal.h/.cpp`,
`HealthTriggers.h/.cpp`, `ValueContext.h`, `TriggerContext.h`)

`HealerLowMana` and `HealerLowManaTrigger` are added to the shared base
framework rather than the druid-specific code. Currently used by the Cat
Innervate trigger; designed so Mana Tide Totem, Hymn of Hope, and
similar spells from other classes can hook into the same trigger without
duplicating the group-scanning logic.

The pair follows the same pattern as the existing `PartyMemberToHeal` /
`PartyMemberLowHealthTrigger` — the project's standard design for "scan
the group for the most in-need member, then trigger when that member
crosses a threshold."

**Value** (`HealerLowMana : PartyMemberValue`): `Calculate()` walks the
group reference list, skips non-healers via the existing `IsHeal()`
check, and uses `MinValueCalculator` to return the lowest-mana healer as
a `Unit*`. Registered in `ValueContext.h` under the key `"healer low
mana"`.

**Trigger** (`HealerLowManaTrigger : Trigger`): `GetTargetName()`
returns `"healer low mana"`, which the base `Trigger::GetTarget()`
resolves against the value context — exactly how
`PartyMemberLowHealthTrigger::GetTargetName()` returns `"party member to
heal"`. `IsActive()` calls `GetTarget()` and checks
`GetPowerPct(POWER_MANA) < sPlayerbotAIConfig.lowMana`.

The trigger doesn't extend `HealthInRangeTrigger` because that class is
specifically for health (it reads the `"health"` value). Mana requires a
direct `GetPowerPct(POWER_MANA)` call, so a plain `Trigger` with a
custom `IsActive()` is used instead.

Both are registered in the global `ValueContext.h` and
`TriggerContext.h` rather than a class-specific factory, consistent with
how all other `PartyMemberValue` subclasses are registered in the
project.

---

### Blanketing Strategy (`RestoDruidStrategy.h/.cpp`,
`DruidActions.h/.cpp`, `DruidAiObjectContext.cpp`)

**Strategy structure:** `DruidBlanketStrategy` is a standalone
`Strategy` overlay, not embedded inside `RestoDruidStrategy`. This is
the same pattern as `DruidTranquilityStrategy`, `DruidBoostStrategy`,
and `DruidCcStrategy` — additive overlays that layer behavior on top of
the base strategy and can be toggled independently via `co
+/-blanketing`.

**Triggers:** Both `"wild growth blanket"` and `"rejuvenation blanket"`
are instantiated as `BuffOnPartyTrigger(ai, spellName)` — the project's
existing class from `GenericTriggers.h` for party-wide buff maintenance,
used throughout the codebase for things like Blessings and Mark of the
Wild. `BuffOnPartyTrigger` extends `BuffTrigger` and fires when any
party member is missing the named aura. No custom trigger class was
needed.

**Actions:** Both actions inherit from a shared `CastBlanketHotAction`
base that itself extends `CastSpellAction`. Inheriting from
`CastSpellAction` means `isPossible()` is handled for free — spell
known, off cooldown, target reachable, resources available. The
constructor sets `range = botAI->GetRange("heal")` to use the standard
healing range.

**`GetBlanketTarget(auraName)`:** The custom part of the implementation.
Walks the group in three prioritized passes — tanks first, then melee
non-tanks, then ranged — returning the first eligible member found.
Eligible is defined as: alive, not a GM, within `spellDistance`, and
`!botAI->HasAura(auraName, member, false, true)` (not already carrying
the HoT). Returns nullptr if every member is already covered.

**`isUseful()`:** On both actions simply returns `GetTarget() !=
nullptr` — fires as long as `GetBlanketTarget` finds someone without the
HoT, and suppresses itself the moment all targets are covered.

---

### CC Implementation — Cyclone, Hibernate, Entangling Roots
(`DruidTriggers.h/.cpp`, `DruidActions.h/.cpp`,
`GenericDruidStrategy.cpp`)

The druid CC spells use the project's strict RTI-only pattern rather
than the fallback "best candidate" pattern used by other classes (e.g.,
Mage Polymorph).

**`"rti cc target"` value:** A direct raid icon lookup. Reads the `"rti
cc"` string value (default `"moon"`, configurable per-bot via `rti cc
<icon>`), converts it to a raid icon index, and returns the live `Unit*`
for that GUID. If no CC icon is set, it returns `nullptr`. There is no
fallback to a best-candidate scan.

**Triggers** (`CycloneTrigger`, `HibernateTrigger`,
`EntanglingRootsTrigger`): All three extend `HasCcTargetTrigger` and
override `IsActive()`. The first check is always `"rti cc target"` — if
it returns `nullptr`, the trigger is immediately silent. If an icon is
set, it checks `"cc target"` (with the spell name as a qualifier) to
verify the RTI target matches and delegates to
`HasCcTargetTrigger::IsActive()`, which handles the "don't re-cast while
already CC'd" check.

**Actions** (`CastCycloneCcAction`, `CastHibernateCcAction`,
`CastEntanglingRootsCcAction`): All three extend
`CastCrowdControlSpellAction` rather than plain `CastSpellAction`. The
action names are `"cyclone on cc"`, `"hibernate on cc"`, `"entangling
roots on cc"` — not the raw spell names. This matters because
`CastSpellAction` stores its constructor argument as both the action
name and the spell name, and `isPossible()` calls `CanCastSpell(spell,
target)` using that string. Passing `"cyclone on cc"` to
`CastSpellAction` would resolve to spell ID 0 and silently return false
forever. `CastCrowdControlSpellAction` keeps the spell name separate
from the action name, avoiding this. `GetTargetValue()` on all three
returns `context->GetValue<Unit*>("rti cc target")` directly.

**Form prerequisite:** The action nodes for `"cyclone on cc"` and
`"hibernate on cc"` have `NextAction("caster form")` as a prerequisite,
so the bot automatically shifts out of Bear, Cat, or Moonkin form before
casting. Entangling Roots has the same prerequisite.

**Priority order:** Cyclone (24.0f) > Hibernate (23.0f) > Entangling
Roots (22.0f). Cyclone is preferred because it works on any target type
and the target is immune to all damage and healing while cycloned — it
cannot be broken by AoE. Hibernate is beast/dragonkin only. Entangling
Roots can be broken by damage.

**Feral Cat CC:** Wired through `TwoTrigger` pairings with `"predator's
swiftness"` (see Cat section above). Because the Predator's Swiftness
proc makes the spell instant-cast, no form shift is needed — the cat
casts directly from Cat Form after a finisher.

---

### Ferocious Bite Execute (`DruidTriggers.h`, `DruidCatActions.h`,
`CatDruidStrategy.cpp`)

Two separate triggers fire the same `CastFerociousBiteAction`, which is
a plain `CastMeleeSpellAction` with no custom logic — all the
intelligence lives in the triggers.

**`FerociousBiteTimeTrigger`** ("ferocious bite time", 22.5f) — the
normal rotation path. Requires 5 combo points, Savage Roar active with
>10 seconds remaining, and Rip active on the target with >10 seconds
remaining. The duration checks prevent spending combo points on
Ferocious Bite when either buff is about to fall off and needs to be
refreshed first.

**`FerociousBiteExecuteTrigger`** ("ferocious bite execute", 24.0f) —
the execute window, higher priority than the time trigger. Requires only
1 combo point, and fires when the target is below **both** 25% HP and
20,000 absolute HP. The dual condition is the key design detail: the 25%
threshold alone would trigger on a raid boss at 25% health — which could
still be millions of HP remaining. The 20,000 HP cap ensures the execute
behavior only activates when the target is genuinely close to death, at
which point dumping even a partial combo point buildup into Ferocious
Bite is better than continuing a normal builder-spender cycle.

---

### Faerie Fire (Feral) Trigger (`DruidTriggers.h`)

A single `FaerieFireFeralTrigger` class handles both Bear and Cat with
spec-branched behavior inside `IsActive()`. It extends `DebuffTrigger` —
the project's standard class for debuff maintenance on the current
target — but overrides `IsActive()` to produce three distinct behaviors
depending on form and talent state:

**Bear:** Bypasses `DebuffTrigger::IsActive()` entirely. Returns true
whenever the target is alive and in world, regardless of whether the
debuff is already present. Every cast generates immediate threat and
damage, so there is no reason to wait for it to fall off before
recasting.

**Cat with Omen of Clarity (talent aura 16864):** Same bypass — spams on
cooldown to fish for Clearcasting procs. Faerie Fire (Feral) has no
energy cost, making it a free input that can proc Omen of Clarity on any
hit.

**Cat without Omen of Clarity:** Falls through to
`DebuffTrigger::IsActive()` — the standard base class behavior, which
checks: target alive and in world, debuff not already present
(`!botAI->HasAura("faerie fire (feral)", target)`), and estimated
remaining lifetime of the target is at least `needLifeTime` seconds
(default 8.0f — no point applying a 30-second debuff to something about
to die). Applied as a normal debuff; does not reapply while active.

Both spam paths additionally guard against Prowl — `IsActive()` returns
false while the bot has the Prowl aura to prevent casting from breaking
stealth.

**Strategy wiring:**
- Bear: standard rotation slot at 17.0f, plus wired into the `"lose
aggro"` trigger at 25.5f as a soft-taunt fallback when Growl is on
cooldown.
- Cat: low-priority filler at 5.0f.

---

### Starfall Pull Safety (`DruidActions.cpp`)

Starfall's 36-yard AoE radius is the largest in the game. A single cast
near an unengaged patrol or mob pack would silently pull everything in
that area. The previous implementation fired on cooldown with no
awareness of the surrounding area.

`CastStarfallAction::isUseful()` now applies two guards before allowing
the cast:

**CC safety check** (standard project pattern): reads `"current cc
target"` and `"aoe position"`; suppresses the cast if the CC'd target is
within `aoeRadius` of the bot's AoE position.

**Unengaged hostile NPC scan (custom)**: reads `"nearest hostile npcs"`
(`NearestHostileNpcsValue`), which uses the project's standard
`Acore::AnyUnitInObjectRangeCheck` + `Cell::VisitObjects` grid searcher
at `sightDistance` (~50 yards). The value pre-filters via
`AcceptUnit()`: non-players only, and `unit->IsHostileTo(bot)` must be
true — this excludes neutral-faction trigger creatures, dummies, and
invisible spawns that would otherwise appear in a raw range scan. The
loop then applies four additional filters:

- Skip null / dead / out-of-world units (standard guard).
- Skip the current target — it is the reason we're in combat; its
in-combat flag is already covered.
- Skip `!bot->IsValidAttackTarget(unit)` — safety net for
hostile-faction trigger creatures carrying `UNIT_FLAG_NON_ATTACKABLE`
that `IsHostileTo` alone doesn't filter.
- Skip units beyond 40 yards — Starfall's listed radius is 36; 40 adds a
small buffer for patrols about to enter range.

If any remaining unit is `!unit->IsInCombat()`, the cast is suppressed —
that mob is unengaged and would be pulled.

**Why `"nearest hostile npcs"` and not `"attackers"`:** `attackers` only
contains units currently targeting the bot. We need to scan all hostile
units in the area, not just those already aggro'd.

---

### Hurricane Channel Cancel (`DruidTriggers.h/.cpp`,
`GenericDruidStrategy.cpp`)

The previous cancel condition checked whether fewer than 3 enemies were
within 30 yards of the bot. This is a poor proxy — enemies could scatter
laterally but still sit within that radius, keeping the channel alive
while none of them were taking damage.

The replacement is `HurricaneChannelCheckTrigger`, which locates the
actual Hurricane `DynamicObject` on the field and measures from it
directly.

**`IsActive()` logic:**

1. Checks `bot->GetCurrentSpell(CURRENT_CHANNELED_SPELL)` — if the bot
isn't channeling at all, returns false immediately. If it is channeling
but the spell isn't a Hurricane rank, also returns false. This check is
necessary because `CURRENT_CHANNELED_SPELL` is a slot, not a specific
spell — the same cancel action is reused for other channeled spells in
the codebase, so the trigger must verify it's specifically Hurricane
before acting.

2. Iterates through `HURRICANE_SPELL_IDS` (all five ranks: 16914, 17401,
17402, 27012, 48467) calling `bot->GetDynObject(spellId)` until a
non-null result is found. Hurricane places a `DynamicObject` on the
field that the server uses as the actual AoE cylinder — each damage tick
queries which units are inside it. The DynamicObject is keyed by spell
ID, so the trigger must try each rank to find whichever one the bot
currently has learned and placed.

3. Reads `dynObj->GetRadius()` — the actual radius stored on the
DynamicObject itself rather than a hardcoded constant. This matches
exactly what the server uses to calculate damage, so the trigger's
cancel condition is spatially identical to the server's hit detection.

4. Walks the `"attackers"` GuidVector and counts how many live attackers
are within `dynObj->GetRadius()` of the DynamicObject's position using
`unit->GetDistance(dynObj->GetPosition()) <= radius`.

5. Returns `count < minEnemies` (default 3). The trigger fires —
cancelling the channel — when fewer than 3 attackers are physically
inside the Hurricane AoE.

**Why `"attackers"` and not a full area scan:** Hurricane only deals
damage to units that are attacking the bot (or in its threat list).
Scanning all nearby hostile units would cause premature cancellation if
non-aggro'd enemies happened to be standing outside the AoE. Attackers
is the right scope.

**Strategy wiring:** The trigger is paired with `NextAction("cancel
channel", 22.0f)` in the AoE strategy for both Balance and Resto druids.
The cancel priority (22.0f) sits below the Hurricane cast priority
(23.0f), so if the medium AoE trigger re-activates on the same tick the
cancel fires — meaning enemies came back into range — the new cast wins
over the cancel.

## Feature Evaluation
<!--
If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and
it is very obvious it will not have
any impact on performance, you may skip these question. If necessary, a
maintainer may ask you for them later.
-->

<!-- Please answer the following: -->
- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior.

Most new triggers are simple aura or cooldown checks. The heavier ones
are the group scans (for the blanketing HoTs and the healer mana check),
but these are identical in cost to group scans already running
throughout the project (all of the party member health checks). The
Starfall safety check is the only genuinely new scan — it looks for
nearby hostile NPCs before allowing a cast, using the same grid search
the project already uses elsewhere. That being said, it's loaded on the
end of the trigger/action pairing - so in the StarfallNoCDTrigger, the
bot has to already have learned starfall, already be in combat, and have
Starfall off of cooldown and ready to use. The Hurricane cancel check
only runs while the bot is actively channeling, so it's tightly gated.

- Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many
bots.

Negligible for almost everything in this PR. The vast majority of new
logic is aura/buff/debuff lookups and cooldown checks that cost nothing
at scale. The group scans for blanketing and healer mana follow the same
pattern as existing party scans that already run on every healer bot
every tick. No new unbounded operations, no shared state between bots.

-->

All druids perform a bit better now - I'd say test the branch out with
the druids y'all currently use. JUST REMEMBER TO DO reset botAI or
talents spec "x" again, since there have been some strategies changed!!
The big one being the blanketing strategy for resto druids. They heal so
much better now. Also being able to control when they pre-hot is really
great.

## Impact Assessment
<!-- As a generic test, before and after measure of pmon (playerbot pmon
tick) can help you here. -->
- Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling
poorly with thousands of bots?
    - - [x] No, not at all
    - - [ ] Minimal impact (**explain below**)
    - - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**)

Tested before an after with the same performance logs. I tested it with
a 25 man group of only druids versus my normal 25 man group on several
raid bosses - no difference in pmon.

- Does this change modify default bot behavior?
    - - [ ] No
    - - [x] Yes (**explain why**)

Druid bots currently have several bugs/issues with them. This doesn't
exactly change the skills they were already using - just refines the
scenarios in which they should be used. For example, a boomkin won't use
starfall when there is a pack within range but not aggro'd. You can turn
off feral charge for cat druids now, so they don't fly into a bosses aoe
(locust swarm on anub, overload on iron council). Bear druids don't
battle rez anymore. They just feel less clunky and heal/hold aggro
better.

- Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance
complexity?
    - - [x] No
    - - [ ] Yes (**explain below**)

There are only 2 changes to files outside of the druid strategy, which
is the healer low mana framework and the modification to autoattack not
being used while in prowl.

AI was used heavily in the process to make this PR. First in the
research necessary into how systems work, to the initial code
implementation, to the testing results (explaining the outcome/why it
sucks), to the fix, and then to the review of the code at the end. I
will say that after I started researching how to use AI, use .md files
for context, clearing sessions, I got a lot better results.

I'll be the first to admit that it is 10 times easier to introduce a bug
with AI than it is to solve one or implement something new. That is why
every time it proposed a change, I asked it if the code was consistent
with the project (Already present somewhere else) and if it wasn't, it
was heavily scrutinized.

It was written with Claude Code with Sonnet 4.6 (high), and peer
reviewed by Github copilot. AI also made the description part of the PR,
in which I modified myself.

@Dreathean 

While this PR does add strategies, they are all enabled by default:

co +feral charge (feral druids, both cat and bear) - enabled by default,
allows/prevents the use of feral charge
co +tranquility (resto druids) - enabled by default, allows/prevents the
use of tranquility
co +blanketing (resto druids) - enabled by default, allows the druid to
pre-hot with wild growth and rejuvenation

But it would be worth a mention on the wiki - there are scenarios where

Thank you for taking the time to look this over. There is a lot of
copied code, a bit of new code (which is explained in the code
explanation part of it, but please still ask questions), and a lot of
refactoring. Please remember to reset the bot strategies before/after
you test this branch, due to the several changes (blanketing, feral
charge strategies). Reset with reset botAI or "talents spec balance pve"
for any testers out there that didn't know. If/When this PR goes to the
master branch, it will need to be noted to the people this same thing
about resetting strategies.

ICC V2, Autogear BiS cmd (#2363)
## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->

Big thanks to @kadeshar for providing the bis list for many raids and
ilvls :D

Video demo for ICC 25HC:
https://studio.youtube.com/video/nACyjn817iQ/edit

Video demo for autogear bis chat command:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YqyVBaSb2g

split main IccActions.cpp into sperate per boss .cpp files
changed style to be more aligned with
https://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/cpp-code-standards (WIP)
added bisicc chat command for bots to gear with ICC bis gear if autogear
and bisicc is enabled in cfg
https://gist.github.com/metal0/0bb094bf65d27e17044308ad0646cae1 bis list
used

LM

Added multiple spike marking and focus for faster spike clearing, each
spike will get its own kill group, tank spike will never get melee bots
(only assist tank and ranged dps)
Added coldflame detection so that melee bots dont go for spikes that are
in flames
During bonestorm assist tank will go far away spot so that once
bonestorm is fixed, LM will bounce back and forth from MT to AT (atm it
targets randomly, it should always pick furthest target)
Coldflame avoidance is handled by avoid AOE, important to keep it on in
cfg

Tested on ALL diffs

LDW

Improved skull marking of adds, add handling by tanks and dps
Changed 1st position for ranged bots for easier adds handling in HC and
NM
Improved tanking logic for tanks, assist tank will focus on collecting
adds and bring them near boss
Real players will also get cyclone aura when mind controlled
Improved ranged position during 2nd phase, they should not get stuck in
corners/walls anymore
Tanks will remove LDW ToI aura in HC (really hard to tank with it since
many things are happening at once)
Added Cheat for LDW fight to help tanks with agro in 2nd phase of heroic
modes
Changed tank position in phase 2 closer to pillars opposed to stairs
(bots love to fall thru floor and run thru walls if near them) this
fixed the issue
Fixed edge case for escaping from shades, it could happen that multiple
shades would target bot, and it was running from 1st one he found, now
it will run form all that are targeting it
Hunters will cast viper sting now, to increase shield draining speed

Tested on ALL diffs
Edit 19.5. :
Tested 25hc with autogear bis gear, playebots cfg ICC cheats off, world
cfg ICC buff on max (30%)
In short cleared LDW without ICC cheats with bis gear but unoptimized
enchants, talents, gems. I still recommend using ICC cheats for better
and fun experience.

GS

Changed triggers and actions to enable cross faction play
Assist tank will now actually tank adds on friendly ship
Dps will properly jump to attack mage and go back to their ship, if
stuck on enemy ship /p reset, /p summon or /p follow
fixed trigger for cannons, if cannons are frozen bots wont try to mount
them anymore which prevented them from attacking mage properly
bots will use rocket packs to jump to and from enemy ship instead of
teleporting
Main tank will now jump 1st. tank enemy boss and wait until all bots
have jumped back before he jumps back
All bots will wait for main tank to engage enemy captain before jumping
to enemy ship
Cannons will focus rockets 1st, then other adds now (for when gs gets
scripted)
Rdps will focus nearby adds on enemy ship and mark with star rti icon
when there is no deep freeze

todo: remove tanking bypass when core fixes enemy ship boss threat
reseting
Tested crossfaction on horde with single ally bot, ally bot did
everything right, need to test more.
note horde side is heavily bugged due to threat issue of adds, tanks
cant take threat, on ally its somewhat ok, on horde rip. Horde is
doable, but annoying cus of threat issue.


Tested on ALL diffs

DBS

Remade tank taunt logic, tanks should now properly taunt boss and let
other tank taunt it if they get rune of blood
Tanks will tank adds better now, no loose adds anymore

Tested on ALL diffs

Dogs

Remade tank taunt logic, tanks should now properly taunt boss and let
other tank taunt it if they get 8 mortal wounds stacks
Tanks will tank adds better now, no loose adds anymore

Tested on ALL diffs


Festergut

Hunters sometimes populated row 0 which would make them in melee range
of the boss (bad for dps). They should pick correct rows now
Healers will populate row 0 1st then other rows for optimal healing
position
Ranged bots should properly choose unique spots to avoid stacking when
there is no spore present
Remade tank taunt logic, tanks should now properly taunt boss and let
other tank taunt it if they get 6 gastric bloat stacks
Changed ranged spore position closer to boss
Spore bots should be able to attack/do non movement action when they
have spore and are in position
Solved malleable goo detection via direct boss hooks to detect boss
targets!

Tested on ALL diffs

Rotface

Tanks should not fight over big ooze anymore
Improved big ooze kiting
Improved small ooze stacking logic (when no big ooze present, stack at
small ooze position, when big ooze is present move to it)
Fixed edge cases when main and assist tank get small ooze (they used to
move to big ooze, that was really bad since main tank would start to
tank big ooze and get hit by big ooze, assist tank would stop kiting and
get hit by big ooze)
stopped mutated plague from dispelling instantly (as fight goes on,
rotface cast mutated plague more and more, thus making it impossible to
pass due to sheer numbers of small oozes and big oozes on the map, this
will delay their spawning and give enough time for bots to handle them
properly)
Fixed edge case of multiple small oozes and big oozes being alive at
same time (bots would detect wrong oozes and wipe raid or get stuck)
Improved flood avoidance
Improved ranged positioning in heroic mode, instead of letting them
choose positions (which is a nightmare on dynamic fight as rotface, they
now will choose 1 spot of 22 premade ones and populate them based on
guid and adopt spot based on flood position)
Improved Explosion avoidance by making bots remember their starting
position so that they can return to it after big ooze explode, their
movement is not chaotic anymore, and improved timers, they will wait 2
sec at new position before returning to starting position so that they
can avoid explosion projectiles properly, they should also avoid moving
to other bots starting positions.
These changes ensure minimal movements so that bot can do maximum dps
possible.

Tested on ALL diffs

PP

Fixed many logic conflicts that caused bots to freeze, do bad dps to
ooze/clouds
Fixed triggers and multipliers
Improved Gas Cloud avoidance, bloated bot will now remember its previous
position to avoid backtracking/getting stuck in corners
Added boss hooks to finally detect malleable goo, it is not an npc,
object or creature and PP doesn't target anyone, bots will flee from it
now
Boss stacking now only in last phase
Added cheats for players also (if enabled in cfg) only bots used to get
auras
Fixed tank switching in last phase, atm PP doesn't apply aura, but it
should work, since same logic works for dogs, festergut and dbs
Assist tank will now become abo if there is no abo before first puddle
appears
Abo will during puddles, slow oozes, slash boss & oozes
In last phase assist will return to normal

Tested on ALL diffs
Edit 19.5. :
Tested 25hc with autogear bis gear, playebots cfg ICC cheats off, world
cfg ICC buff on max (30%)
Tanks switched in last phase flawlesly and shared stacks as they should
(mutated plague got fixed in core)
In short cleared PP without ICC cheats with bis gear but unoptimized
enchants, talents, gems. I still recommend using ICC cheats for better
and fun experience.

BPC

Added center position to prevent bots from pulling BQL or other adds
when they glitch thru walls/floor and thus resetting raid back to icc
entrance teleporter
Added additional z axis resetting since bots like to "fly" up in the air
when attacking kinetic bombs.
using cheat bypass for ball of inferno flames (atm bugged, doesn't
shrink), bots will simply kill them when they spawn.
Improved tanking for main tanks, improved collection of dark nuclei for
assist tank
Improved kinetics bomb handling
Improved shock vortex spreading
Improved valaran spreading for ranged
Added shock vortex (non empowered) detection to avoid it while moving
into safe positions
Fixed jittery movement

Tested on ALL diffs

BQL

Removed center position block so that bots can spread our easier in 25
mode, not ideal but makes 25hc easier
Replaced repulsion based spreading, now each bot will have its own spot
and move if needed to new spot
Improved air phase spreading
Fixed assist tank taking 1st bite

Tested on ALL diffs

VDW

Due to recent core changes bots got bugged in portals if no real player
entered and changed Z axis, if there was no z axis change bots would
chill under the cloud on the ground and do nothing. I could not figure
out how to fix this (thus breaking immersion) without force teleporting
them to the clouds.
Bots that go into portals will now teleport at the same time to clouds
instead of following leader bot.
Added feature that if players enter the portal, player with lowest guid
will become bot "leader" and they will follow that player so that there
is at least a little bit of immersion left.
Fixed cloud collection for Heroic Mode, bots will now time clouds more
precisely to avoid loosing stack due to not picking them up
Improved RTI marking
Improved group splitting
Improved zombie kiting and avoiding explosion

Tested on ALL diffs

Sindragosa

Bots will mark tomb positions with red smoke bomb in air phase so that
real player know where to go with when beacon on them
in last phase they will mark with blue smoke tomb position
Fixed tank positioning
Fixed wrong tomb choice and positioning
Fixed tomb marking
In last phase healers will stack with melee to allow boss healing
In last phase when waiting for mystic debuff to pass, bots will damage
tomb like in air phase to speed up the kill

todo: tank switch to reset mystic buffet stacks
Tested on ALL diffs
Edit 19.5. :
Tested 25hc with autogear bis gear, playebots cfg ICC cheats off, world
cfg ICC buff on max (30%)
In short cleared LDW without ICC cheats with bis gear but unoptimized
enchants, talents, gems. I still recommend using ICC cheats for better
and fun experience.

LK

Changed add gathering logic for 1st phase and winter phase, instead of
tank moving to shamblings, he will keep taunting until they agro him.
necrotic plague is easy now, ditched complex timing logic for a simple
logic ( move to shambling, wait until dispeled, go back. Healers dont
dispel until defile ally is near shambling )
Fixed winter phase gathering logic, assist tank will now properly move
to raging spirits asap and bring them to main tank, melee dps will no
properly move behind/flank spirits and shamblings to avoid instant
death. Rdps will now properly focus frost orbs and adds, Transition
should also be smoother now, but still needs /p reset if they get stuck.
Other phases are ok, LK fight is now even better than before, but player
still need to know tactics and use multibot addon to help out bots when
needed, especially during defile phase since its random and position
matter for valkyrs and future defiles
Non winter phase AT will collect raging spirits and move them to main
tank, ranged bots will keep distance, melee bots will flank them to
avoid aoe
Defile, ditched complex spreading which was mostly gamble with boss
hooks to detect defile victim. If bot, bot will move away from raid, if
real player main tank will yell Player name move away defile.
bots will stay in center now if safe from defile, raging spirits or vile
spirits
Vile spirits soaking by assist tank. Assist tank will stand between
spirits and raid and chase spirits. healers are allowed to move from
position to heal assist tank. one hunter if alive will be at center
position to place traps to slow down spirits


HC

Real players will also get buffs if cheats are enabled now
Assist tank will now never move towards the raid to gather adds, instead
it will taunt them instead so that they come to it
Assist tank will rotate shamblings at all times away from raid
Assist tank will stun shamblings before transition to avoid shockwave
wipe
Winter phase ice sphere location changed, ranged will focus sphere
faster and better now
Fixed jittery movement and low dps during winter phase
Fixed most of the bots getting stuck during winter phase
Valkyrs will be properly marked now, one by one, in hc bots will now
ignore low hp valkyrs and focus on grabbing valkyrs or boss
After winter raging spirit will have top priority for killing
After winter ranged bots will 1st handle ice spheres then skull targets
Spirit bomb avoidance improved, main tank should not back track into
unsafe positions anymore


Since real player is leader its crucial that player know the tactics,
bots can not handle edge cases during the fight alone,
they need some of reset, follow, summon here and there since its a long
fight and things can go wrong.

Tested on ALL diffs
NOTE: If server crash, bots will sometimes drop ICC strategy even though
they are in ICC, simply re enter or write /p nc +ICC to re enable.
NOTE: addons that mark icons during fight could break bots, since icons
are used for RTI by bots
NOTE: I did not use any raiding addons besides unbot and multibot to
control bots
NOTE: In theory everything should work wihout ICC buff from world cfg,
and ICC cheats from playerbots cfg, didnt test it, didnt try, its too
hard core for hc mode to go raw, but it should be possible good luck :)
NOTE: For normal about 5k gs should be enough to do most bosses. For HC
T10 set + ICC 25 nm or HC gear + gems + enchants + buffs from cfg for
fun experience.
NOTE: As player its good to know every strategy for Bosses, so that you
can spot and help out with reset, follow, summon if bots seem stuck or
are doing something strange, a lot of stuff is happening on most fights
so expect some intervention with reset, summon, follow.

10 MAN 2-3 Healers, 2 Tanks, at least 1 hunter, at least one druid for
bress (its not set in stone, but most success with this setup)
25 MAN 6-7 Healers, 2 tanks, at least 1 hunter, at least 3-4 druids for
bress (its not set in stone, but most success with this setup)

GL & HF, happy raiding :D

Closes #1421 #2120
Fixes #1219 NOTE: Not all of them, I have updated affected changes in
#1219. Trash, quest, cheats are still nice to haves, but I don't see
working on that in near future.

Before posting bugs check #1219 and write there. As I said, I dont plan
to implement certain things in near future, but I am more than willing
to fix bugs that crash server if they happen ASAP.

AI was used for analyzing code for ac code standard violations, edits
were made by me. It was used for fixing bugs, brainstorming and code
generation (for complex math problems, such as dynamicaly kiting oozes
around, assiging positions during multiple complex situations in rotface
encouter. Everything was checked and tested multiple times until it was
polished (to my abilites and understanding). It helped me to solve
Malleable goo detection, defile, by hooking directly to boss in order to
detect it, since it was detectable only by split second since it was not
npc, spell or object.

Fix for lfg command (#2379)
<!--
Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that
you...
1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master.
2. Read the guidelines below before submitting.
3. Don't delete parts of this template.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND
PREDICTABILITY over behavioral realism.

Every action and decision executes PER BOT AND PER TRIGGER. Small
increases in logic complexity scale
poorly across thousands of bots and negatively affect all. We prioritize
a stable system over a smarter
one. Bots don't need to behave perfectly; believable behavior is the

## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
Removed duplicate and dead trigger-action mappings in
ChatCommandHandlerStrategy. Noticed while reviewing the recent edits to
test-staging. Also when trigger name == action name, that belongs to
supported in supported, so `wipe` and `roll` were moved there.
Beyond that, `InitTriggers` commands were changed to be in a single
line. Really it's easier to read that way, except multi-action lines,
where I gave each action a line of its own.


## Feature Evaluation

<!--

- Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, number of bots, specific

Test the affected commands. They should work same as before.
Removed duplicates from `InitTriggers` that are already in `supported`:
1. open items
2. unlock items
3. unlock traded item
4. tame
5. glyphs
6. glyph equip
7. pet
8. pet attack
9. emblems

Dead entries that were in `supported` but already worked through
`InitTriggers`:
1. qi
2. focus heal

Triggers that were moved from `InitTriggers` to `supported`:
1. wipe
2. roll

-->

## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
Adds the commands `co !` and `nc !`, which would reset either the combat
or non-combat strategies of a follower bot, without affecting the other
strategies or any other values.

Also ChangeStrategyAction.cpp was refactored for duplicate code by
introducing the helper function `HandleStrategyCommon`, that gets called
by `ChangeCombatStrategyAction` and `ChangeNonCombatStrategyAction`


## Feature Evaluation
<!--
If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and
it is very obvious it will not have
any impact on performance, you may skip these question. If necessary, a

-->

<!-- Please answer the following: -->
- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended

`reset botAI` already resets strategies back to default, but it resets
ALL strategies and wipes values such as formations, stances, and
everything else under the `value` key in playerbots_db_store>value. The
new commands don't run across many bots, only on the bot the command is
run on.


## How to Test the Changes
<!--
- Step-by-step instructions to test the change.
- Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, number of bots, specific
configuration).
- Expected behavior and how to verify it.
-->
1. Run either `co ?` and `nc ?` to see current list of combat and
non-combat strategies the bot has.
2. Add and remove strategies to both `co` and `nc`.
3. Confirm your changes with `co ?` and `nc ?`.
4. Run `co !` only.
5. Run `co ?` to confirm combat strategies have been reset to default,
and `nc ?` to confirm it has not been affected. Then run `nc !` to reset
it as well.
6. Do another test [inside an
instance](https://github.com/mod-playerbots/mod-playerbots/wiki/Playerbot-Commands#raid-specific-strategies).
Remove a bunch of `nc` strategies, including the strategy for the raid
itself.
7. Run `nc !` and check that the defaults have been reset, but that the
instance strategy has been re-added as well.

[Commands
wiki](https://github.com/mod-playerbots/mod-playerbots/wiki/Playerbot-Commands#strategies)
need to be modified to read:

---
You can query the bot to report what strategies are currently being
used:

```
co ?
nc ?
```
You can reset either of the bot's strategies back to defaults:

```
co !
nc !
```
---

Tangentially I also recommend [this
section](https://github.com/mod-playerbots/mod-playerbots/wiki/Playerbot-Commands#non-combat-strategies)
to be edit to this for more accuracy:

---
General
strategy | description
:---|:---
``food`` | enable bot's ability to eat/drink
``pvp`` | enable bot's ability to engage in PVP combat. Note: PVP mode
wouldn't appear active until the bot starts combat
``loot`` | enable bot's ability to loot. Note: adding or removing that
strategy for randombots requires GM level

## Pull Request Description
The previous logic contained two contradictory guards back-to-back:

```
// First check: passes only if IsRealPlayer() == true
if (!leader || !GET_PLAYERBOT_AI(leader) || !GET_PLAYERBOT_AI(leader)->IsRealPlayer())
    return false;

// Second check: returns false if IsRealPlayer() == true
PlayerbotAI* leaderBotAI = GET_PLAYERBOT_AI(leader);
if (!leaderBotAI || leaderBotAI->IsRealPlayer())
    return false;
```

The first guard (due to the erroneous `!` before `IsRealPlayer()`) only
passes when the leader **is** a real player. The second guard then
immediately returns `false` for the same reason, making the function
incapable of ever returning `true`.

Fix ambiguous item parsing in bot text (#2356)
## Pull Request Description

This change fixes two cases of broken bot text with respect to inventory
items.

1. Reserved inventory qualifiers such as "mount," "food," "drink," etc.
no longer also trigger generic item name matching. I first noticed this
problem when my resto Shaman who had the "Mounting Vengeance" weapon in
her inventory would repeatedly give error messages of failing to use it
while mounting (because mounting also causes bots to use items that fit
the reserved "mount," which due to this bug, also caused bots to try to
use any item with "mount" in its name).

2. Custom cast output text no longer reports an inferred bag item as the
spell target for normal unit-targeted casts such as "cast chain heal on
Keleborn." There was a bug where the action would first parse the actual
target and then parse the spell text and then try to match the last word
of the string to a bag item (so the bot would say it was casting chain
heal on a healing potion, even though the heal was in fact cast
correctly on a player).

## Feature Evaluation

- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior.

- Add a reserved-qualifier check in InventoryAction::parseItems() so
reserved selectors do not also run through FindNamedItemVisitor.
- In custom cast output text, choose the displayed target based on the
actual target type already resolved for the cast.
  - It does not change mount selection behavior itself.
  - It does not add new spell-target parsing rules.
 
- Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many
bots.
  - None.

## How to Test the Changes

Reserved qualifiers:
1. Give a bot in your party the "Mounting Vengeance" weapon.
2. Mount up, and the bot should mount too without saying anything
(before the fix, the bot would say it is using the weapon and that the
item was not found).

Spell cast text:
1. Give a bot an inventory item whose name overlaps with part of a spell
name, such as a healing potion.
2. Command a bot to cast some heal on a player.
3. The bot should cast the spell on the intended player (as was the case
previously), and the status text names the player instead of the
inventory item.

## Impact Assessment

- Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling
poorly with thousands of bots?
    - [x] No, not at all
    - [ ] Minimal impact (**explain below**)
   
- Does this change modify default bot behavior?
    - [x] No
    - [ ] Yes (**explain why**)

- Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance
complexity?
    - [ ] No
    - [x] Yes (**explain below**)
    
Very minor changes. InventoryAction gets one explicit reserved-qualifier
guard. Custom cast text selection becomes more explicit about which
target type should be displayed.

## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
This PR does a few things.
1. Enable Selfbots to mount up. Because they have masters, but are their
own masters, they would never mount up because their master never
mounted.
2. Fix flag state handling after processing the aura change. 
3. Add in the Dismount packet handler. This is intended to implement

Exclude Invalid Weapons from Shaman Enchants & Refactor Temporary Enchant Spellcasting (#2345)
<!--
Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that
you...
1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master.
2. Read the guidelines below before submitting.
3. Don't delete parts of this template.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND
PREDICTABILITY over behavioral realism.

Every action and decision executes PER BOT AND PER TRIGGER. Small
increases in logic complexity scale
poorly across thousands of bots and negatively affect all. We prioritize
a stable system over a smarter

Default behavior must be cheap in processing; expensive behavior must be
opt-in.

## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
Fix for issue #2343 

I excluded the MISC and FISHING POLE weapon subclasses from weapon
enchants. MISC includes the entry profession "weapons" (skinning knife,
mining pick, blacksmithing hammer, arclight spanner) and some other crap
that I suspect is not enchantable, but even if it is there's no good
reason to do so (like Brewfest steins). The subclass doesn't include
weapons that can be used for professions but you might actually want to
use for fighting (like Finkle's Skinner).

To clean things up overall, I removed the intermediate class
CastEnchantItemAction between CastSpellAction and
CastEnchantItemMainHandAction and CastEnchantItemOffHandAction.
CastEnchantItemAction is not doing anything helpful that can't easily be
replicated in the MH/OH classes, and I can't think of any future reason
for keeping CastEnchantItemAction. I also brought the CanCastSpell check
into the MH/OH classes--previously it just wasn't run for the weapon
enchant spells, and I can't think of any good reason why it shouldn't
be.

I also added Execute functions to both CastEnchantItemMainHandAction and
CastEnchantItemOffHandAction so they actually directly cast the enchant
on the specified hand instead of running through CastSpellAction's
Execute (and thus going through item for spell). I wasn't having
problems with the wrong hand being applied under the prior approach, but
this is a more direct and better approach anyway.

Other changes are just formatting.

-->

<!-- Please answer the following: -->

The new path is very similar to the old one but just adds a check that
is common to all spells and early returns to avoid invalid results.

1. Log into a Shaman and activate selfbot
2. Check to make sure the correct enchantments are applied (e.g., MH
Windfury and OH Flametongue for a dual-wielding Enhancement Shaman)
3. Equip a profession weapon such as a skinning knife and make sure the
Shaman does not attempt to enchant it

## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
Solve the rest of #2344

Now, bots won't autoequip any weapon from ITEM_SUBCLASS_WEAPON_MISC,
which includes all of the basic tools and some other crap that they have
no need to autoequip, either. Bots are still eligible to equip those
weapons (such as through the "e" command).

Note that MISC includes the Argent Tournament lances. I've not played
WotLK, but I assume those might be relevant for a strategy. It shouldn't
be a problem though because I've intentionally not made bots ineligible
for MISC weapons; they just won't consider them upgrades on their own.

I also cleaned up ItemUsageValue::QueryItemUsageForEquip to consolidate
checks and so on. None of that should be functional, or I screwed up.
The check for MISC is on lines 219 through 221.

Activate selfbot. Unequip all weapons and have nothing in the inventory
except for a MISC weapon such as a skinning knife. Whisper self "equip
upgrade"--nothing should happen. Whisper self "e [LINK TO WEAPON]"--the
bot should equip the weapon.

PvP Gear, Autogear Tuning, and Stat Weight Corrections (#2322)
<!--
Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND
PREDICTABILITY over behavioral realism.

Every action and decision executes PER BOT AND PER TRIGGER. Small
increases in logic complexity scale
poorly across thousands of bots and negatively affect all. We prioritize
a stable system over a smarter
one. Bots don't need to behave perfectly; believable behavior is the
goal, not human simulation.
Default behavior must be cheap in processing; expensive behavior must be
opt-in.

## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->

Hello playerbots community! I have been working diligently whilst on
vacation to help get pvp gear up and running for pvp specs. Throughout
this process, I have looked at our current autogear system, tested it
through and through, and made some changes to make gearing more
appropriate per spec. _I am going to have my description of the changes
in italics_, **and the AI description overview will be bolded.** Let's
begin!

**This PR makes some improvements to the bot autogear system across item
scoring, spec tracking(pvp specs and gear), and stat weights. Changes
are split between those that are always active and those controlled by
new config options.**

**Mandatory Changes:**

**PvP Spec Detection (IsSpecPvp)
A new method RandomPlayerbotMgr::IsSpecPvp(botGuid, cls) checks the
bot's stored specNo against the spec name string defined in config. If
the name contains "pvp", the bot is treated as a PvP spec throughout the
entire gear pipeline. This is the single source of truth used by both
InitEquipment() and ItemUsageValue. In the future this detection can be
expanded to drive bot behavior decisions — such as prioritizing dueling
players in the world, joining Wintergrasp, or preferring BG and Arena
queues over PvE content.**

_This is scalable, so if someone were to create their own pvp spec in
the config, it would still be tracked if the name contains "pvp". I like
the idea of pvp specced random bots having an identifier for pvp
events._

**PvP Weights Applied During Loot Evaluation
ItemUsageValue::QueryItemUsageForEquip() now calls IsSpecPvp() before
scoring a looted item. If the bot is on a PvP spec, it passes
SetPvpSpec(true) to the StatsWeightCalculator, ensuring looted items are
evaluated with PvP stat priorities (including resilience weighting)
rather than PvE weights. Previously, a PvP-specced bot would score loot
identically to a PvE bot.**

_So, during autogear and upgrade equips, pvp specced bots will now
heavily prioritize resilience. On the flip side, pve bots really don't
want resilience gear, so a negative weight modifier (penalty for
resilience items) has been applied to pve autogearing and upgrade
equips. This is important, because you can switch a bot from a pve spec
to a pvp spec, and it will automatically consider resilience items in
it's inventory as upgrades, and equip them. Same for when you switch a
bot from a pvp spec back to a pve spec - the resilience penalty will
encourage the bot to switch back to the best available pve gear._

**Resilience Weighting
After all per-spec weights are generated in GenerateBasicWeights(), a
global resilience modifier is applied unconditionally:**

**PvP specs: +7.0 resilience weight — strongly prioritizes resilience
gear
Non-PvP specs: −3.0 resilience weight — actively discourages resilience
gear
Resilience is additionally excluded entirely from trinket slot scoring
via SetExcludeResilience(true), preventing the PvP resilience bonus from
inflating the scores of non-CC trinkets.**

_I tried several different numbers here - as high as 10 and as low as 3
for resilience. I ended up with 7 so nearly all specs will slot
resilience in every slot EXCEPT for trinkets. I stopped weighing
resilience on trinkets because they ended up being garbage trinkets for
the most part - other endgame pve trinkets were way more impactful. In
my testing, the only class/specs that wont use 100% resilience gears are
the tanks, since defense rating/parry/block/dodge weights are so high._

**CC-Break Trinket Cache
At server startup, PlayerbotFactory::BuildCcBreakTrinketCache() queries
the world database for all trinkets (InventoryType=12, Quality≥2) whose
spell IDs include spell 42292 — the CC-break / PvP trinket effect shared
by items like Medallion of the Alliance/Horde. Results are sorted by
item level descending and cached in a static vector, ready for fast
lookup during gearing.**

_This creates a cache of cc trinkets on startup, for this:_

**CC-Break Trinket Force-Equip
During InitEquipment(), PvP-specced bots at level 50 or higher (level
minimum for autogear to apply trinkets) run a pre-selection pass over
ccBreakTrinketCache to find the best CC-break trinket they meet the
level requirement and quality limit for. Human and Undead bots are
excluded from this — they have racial abilities (Every Man for Himself,
Will of the Forsaken) that share the PvP trinket cooldown, making a
dedicated trinket redundant.**

**If a suitable trinket is found, it is stored as pvpTrinket1 and
force-equipped into TRINKET1 before the main gear loop runs. If an item
already occupies the slot, it is moved to bags first. The second-chance
pass also skips TRINKET1 when pvpTrinket1 is set, so the CC trinket is
never overwritten.**

_This is the catch-all forced pvp trinket for trinket slot 1. In my
testing, I really found out how few cc trinkets there are - most of them
are epic, and blue ones start showing up super late in the game. An
heirloom patch would really help the lower levels, being able to equip a
pvp trinket at level 10 or something. Keep in mind, that if your bot
isn't getting a pvp trinket with autogear, make sure they aren't human
or undead, and check your config for what quality items are allowed with
autogear. NOTE - PVP TRINKET STRATEGIES ARE NOT CURRENTLY CODED, SAME
WITH CC RACIALS. They will not break out of stun/cc currently. This is
for future updates if/when I make a trinketstrategy._

**Enhancement Shaman Dual Wield Fix
Classes like Rogues, Frost DKs, and Fury Warriors have their dual wield
capability established through class initialization code in the core.
Enhancement Shamans acquire Dual Wield only through a specific talent
(spell 30798, learned around level 40), and the bot factory had no code
to detect and apply this. The result was that Enhancement Shaman bots
would sometimes have their offhand weapon unequipped — despite having
the talent. After talents are applied in both InitTalentsTree() and
InitTalentsBySpecNo(), the code now checks for spell 30798 and
explicitly grants SKILL_DUAL_WIELD and SetCanDualWield(true) when
present.**

_When testing the weapon speed preferences, I noticed that randombot
enhancement shamans were unequipping their offhand randomly. They would
just walk around with a single 1-hand weapon. This is because they were
not considered in the system as dual wielding, so when initequipment or
autoequipupgrades was ran, it would unequip the offhand through a
function, despite having the dual wield talent. Looking at the code, the
other classes already have this flag (warriors, rogues, dks, hunters)
because they didn't acquire it through talents._

**CalculateItem() Slot Awareness
StatsWeightCalculator::CalculateItem() now accepts an optional slot
parameter (default -1). When provided and the item is a weapon,
ApplyWeaponSpeedGovernance() can be called. Both item scoring calls
inside InitEquipment() — the candidate scoring loop and the incremental
old-item comparison — now pass the current equipment slot.**

_This change allows the calculate item function to know what slot it's
working with, and that's how it modifies it's decision making for some
of the optional features below._

**Holy Paladin Weapon Scoring Fix
Prior to this change, Holy Paladin could end up equipping 2H weapons
because haste and crit sticks (2H weapons) were outscoring appropriate
1H caster weapons — the item type penalty was not catching them
correctly. Holy Paladin is now explicitly added to the dual-wield
penalty group (preventing 2H weapons from being viable), excluded from
the generic caster 1H penalty (since they use 1H + shield rather than a
staff), and given a 0.8x soft preference for 1H weapons.**

_In autogear testing, sometimes 2h weps with high crit/haste would win
over caster gear - this is especially noticeable at lower levels, with
shallower item pools (greens only). You'd hit autogear and the holy
paladin would equip a 2h axe with crit :( So this makes it so holy
paladins only use 1h weapons. They can use either a shield or an
offhand, depending on stat weights._

**PvP Spec Slots Added for All Classes
The existing RandomClassSpecProb / RandomClassSpecIndex config entries
control what percentage of random bots in the world are assigned each
spec. Previously only PvE specs (indices 0–2, or 0–3 for Druids) were
defined, giving server operators no way to introduce PvP-specced random
bots into the world population. This PR adds PvP spec slots for every
class (indices 3–6 depending on class), all defaulting to 0 probability.
Server operators can raise these values to spawn PvP-specced random bots
— e.g., setting RandomClassSpecProb.1.3 = 20 would make 20% of Warrior
bots run Arms PvP.
Two additional PvE specs have also been added:
Death Knight index 3: Double-aura Blood (a hybrid Blood/Frost PvE tank
variant)
Mage index 3: Frostfire (a PvE hybrid spec)
All existing spec entries have been annotated with comments identifying
each one (e.g., # arms pve, # holy pve) for readability.**

_This change was actually added at the start - I realized that there was
no way for pvp-specced randombots to spawn naturally, so I added
optional probabilities to the config. They are currently set at 0% by
default, but giving the user the option I feel is necessary. Also, it
would have been impossible for me to test the init on randombots with
pvp gear otherwise. Also, I noticed that the frostfire mage and the
dual-aura dk didn't have an option, so I added them in as well, as well
as names above each option for quality of life._

**Stat Weight Corrections
The following per-spec stat weights were adjusted to better reflect
actual WotLK priorities. Entries marked NEW did not previously exist;
unmarked rows show old → new values.**

<img width="795" height="268" alt="arms warrior"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cb0deb00-a985-432d-81a1-133fc953088b"
/>

_Arms warriors would prefer leather/ap gear about half of the time - the
combined weights of both would often beat strength gear, especially at
lower levels, or where the item pool was shallow. Also, they continued
to spawn with spell power gear and defense gear occasionally, especially
on gear with resilience (resilience, spell power, crit, haste, stam
items)._

<img width="796" height="301" alt="fury warrior"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/715ff3a3-3d20-4e0e-a953-7ed6fd9386db"
/>

_Fury warriors had the same issues as arms warrior, but really can't
afford to lose a strength item - beserker stance increases strength by
20%. Also had to reduce haste here because haste really isn't nearly as
important as strength, crit, arp. Haste items would win often over
strength/crit/arp gear._

<img width="796" height="300" alt="prot tanks"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/624de09a-2506-4aee-95aa-c49cbc5b85d3"
/>

_So, prot paladins and prot warriors currently are weighed identically
fyi. Look at that whopping 2.0 agility - twice as important as strength?
I noticed that my prot paladins/warriors were equipping
agility/haste/crit items instead of defense gear on their neck, rings,
trinkets, and back. This adjustment pretty much ensures that defense
gear takes those slots if it's available. Removed the crit/haste
weightings, because realistically if a tank wants more damage, it will
just get strength. Lastly added the spell power penalty because prot
paladins would spawn in fully holy gear if they were pvp specced
(resilience is weighted so high, resilience/spellpower/stam/haste gear
would often win). This aims to prevent that._

<img width="802" height="421" alt="dps dks"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/371d1344-2382-4460-b3a7-f38b33025b73"
/>

_Same issue with plate dps as the warriors had. Spell power gear would
occasionally spawn on crit/hit items in pve, and a ton of spell power
resilience gear would spawn. There is no scenario where a DK wants spell
power, this isn't patch 3.0.1..._

<img width="796" height="447" alt="blood dk"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c84a2bbf-7daa-4805-acf3-cd3bf815eda4"
/>

_Similar issues to prot paladin/warrior. I was really tired of seeing
block rating/value gear as a result of getting gear with defense/stam.
This results in a lot more defense rating/expertise/hit/dodge/parry
gear, and basically makes shield stats nearly non-existent (unless the
upgrade is good enough, it could still win)_

<img width="794" height="226" alt="ret paladin"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b09f40ed-b25f-4945-940c-2ce92f81c7c4"
/>

_Prior to this PR, the positive spellpower and int weights were enough
for ret paladins to spawn with spellpower/int/haste/crit gear. This is
unlikely now. And agility/ap was reduced to favor more strength gear._

<img width="795" height="306" alt="Enhancement Shaman"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1e5231fd-36ea-4b7e-a546-cf0075d17bd4"
/>

_While spell power is a decent stat on enhancment shamans, it was
appearing on too much gear, especially on items that were
haste/crit/spell power. And for elemental shamans, they were getting
agi/haste/crit gear, so this aims to get rid of those items entirely
without reducing haste/crit._

<img width="800" height="119" alt="shaman pally"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6ea3300a-effd-4a03-8f6f-4ae13c5383a5"
/>

_Holy paladins and resto shamans are scored the same, but this prevents
attack power/haste/crit gear, since haste and crit are weighted high._

<img width="1025" height="385" alt="mage"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/03191dfd-dc09-477d-8424-8fd56f3e0d71"
/>

_Prevents mages from equipping/autogearing items with attack power, some
attack power/crit/haste/hit items were winning with shallow item pools._

<img width="1022" height="502" alt="hunter rogue"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/06fa67c9-7709-4ee8-a0e2-34de18594018"
/>

_Prevents hunters and rogues from getting spell power leather gear with
hit/crit. Crit is very heavy for hunters so this was decently common._

**Optional Changes (Config-Controlled)**

**AiPlayerbot.PreferClassArmorType (default: 0)
Applies a 3x score multiplier to armor matching the bot's
class-appropriate type (plate/mail/leather/cloth). A significantly
better off-type item can still win — this is a soft preference, not a
hard filter.**

_Are you tired of your fury warrior being a leather daddy? Are you tired
of your holy paladin running around in cloth lingerie? This will fix
that. For mail classes (hunters/shamans) and plate classes, this only
kicks in after level 40. But it really helps adhere to the highest armor
class available. This would be the perfect solution to the quarterly
question "Why is my paladin wearing leather?". This definitely should
remain optional, as quite a few BIS lists would disagree with it.
Leather at certain stages is great for hunters/shamans/warriors/dks._

**AiPlayerbot.AutogearAllowsQuestRewards (default: 0)
Builds a cache of equippable armor and weapon quest rewards at startup.
Bots can then equip these items during autogear, using the quest's
minimum level as the effective required level gate.**

_So, I noticed that autogear didn't allow items without a level
requirement (quest rewards), because it didn't know how to handle that
when giving out gear. It would previously just flat out reject all quest
rewards, as they wouldn't be a part of the item pool. This option
enables quest rewards to be considered in the item pool, and the level
correlates to the lowest level you could get the quest. I have tested
this for about 3 hours across all specs and using blue/green gear, it
seems like a really nice bonus. Keep in mind that I do 0 quests on my
way to 80, so players like me could still benefit from those items. I
think this should remain optional._

**AiPlayerbot.EquipAllSlotsAtAnyLevel (default: 0)
Bypasses the low-level slot restrictions in InitEquipment():
Trinkets normally locked until level 50
Head/Neck until level 30
Rings until level 20
All other non-weapon slots until level 5**

_Autogear currently has level floors for slots - they will not ever give
items below the above thresholds. This config option bypasses that. I
have not tested this as much as I should have, so as people test this,
they could let us know of items that should be blacklisted._

**AiPlayerbot.WeaponSpeedGovernance (default: 0)
When enabled, ApplyWeaponSpeedGovernance() applies a 3x score multiplier
to weapons matching the spec's ideal attack speed profile. Applies to
mainhand, offhand, and ranged slots only. Per-spec preferences:
Arms Warrior: Slow 2H (>=3400ms) in mainhand; poleaxes and axes
preferred (Axe Specialization)
Ret Paladin / Blood & Unholy DK:  Slow 2H (>=3400ms) in mainhand
Prot Warrior & Paladin: Slow 1H (>=2600ms) in mainhand
Fury Warrior dual wield:  Slow 1H (>=2600ms) in both hands
Fury Warrior titan's grip: Slow 2H (>=3400ms) in both hands
Frost DK: Slow 1H (>=2600ms) in both hands; 2H excluded
Enhancement Shaman (dual wield): Slow 1H (>=2600ms) in both hands;
synchronized MH/OH speeds for flurry procs
Enhancement Shaman (pre-dual wield): Slow 2H (>=3400ms) in mainhand
Combat Rogue: Slow MH (>=2600ms) + Fast OH (<=1500ms)
Assassination / Subtlety Rogue: Slow dagger MH (>=1700ms) + Fast dagger
OH (<=1500ms)
Hunter: Slow ranged (>=2600ms); melee is a stat stick, speed ignored
Feral Druid: No preference (forms normalize attack speed)**

_Besides pvp gearing for pvp specs, I feel like this is one of the
nicest additions. It was really frustrating to see an enhancement shaman
put windfury on a 1.5 dagger. Without this, weights for melee dps are
calculated on dps alone, not weapon speed. You'll see 2h specs use fast
2h weapons (3.0), rogues use 2 fast weapons or slow weapons, frost dks
occasionally using 2h weapons while having dual wield talents. I tested
this for about 6 hours across all mentioned specs at levels 20, 30, 40,
50, 60, 65, 70, 75, and 80, with 3 quality types (greens, blues,
purples). I would actually consider making this mandatory, simply
because of the impact I saw in the dps charts. Super happy and proud of
this._

## Feature Evaluation
<!--
If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and
it is very obvious it will not have
any impact on performance, you may skip these question. If necessary, a
maintainer may ask you for them later.
-->

<!-- Please answer the following: -->
- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior.

_Two caches are built upon startup - the pvp trinket cache and the quest
reward cache. From there, this directly modifies the stat weight
calculations involving initequipement (autogear) and autoequipupgrades,
as both go off of stat weight calculations. I tried to implement these
changes with as little custom functions and coding as possible, and
relied as much as I could on the pre-existing framework._

- Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many
bots.

_Fortunately most of the gates are boolean so it shouldn't impact
performance much at all. I ran these changes on my local server with
stock 500 bots, noticed no pmon difference from the main branch. Did a
24h stress test on my server yesterday, stats looked consistent with the
stress test I did prior to making any changes on 3-31-26._

_It helps that it uses pre-existing functions such as initequipment and
autoequipupgrades, and it really just modifies them with slightly more
logic. That being said, autogear didn't lag my server at all, nor did
the bots equipping upgrades._

## How to Test the Changes
<!--
- Step-by-step instructions to test the change.
- Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, number of bots, specific
configuration).
- Expected behavior and how to verify it.
-->

_So, with the basic stock playerbots config (do not forget to copy the
new config!), the only thing that should change is the pvp gear
appearing on pvp specs, and the classes preferring more appropriate
stats across the board. You can load into the game, level a bot to 20,
autogear, and notice the difference. Same at level 40, 60, 75, or
whatever. You could add in the optional config settings to further
streamline the gear you want. I currently run with all 4 enabled, 2 of
which increase the item pool, and 2 of which help guide them to more
appropriate gear (armor/weps)._

## Impact Assessment
<!-- As a generic test, before and after measure of pmon (playerbot pmon
tick) can help you here. -->
- Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling
poorly with thousands of bots?
    - - [x] No, not at all
    - - [ ] Minimal impact (**explain below**)
    - - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**)

_The code is only used on startup (cache generation) and when
autogear/autoequipupgrades is called. Not all the time, and not per
tick. I noticed no performance impact after these changes._

- Does this change modify default bot behavior?
    - - [ ] No
    - - [x] Yes (**explain why**)

_It modifies the decision making as far as equipment goes, but as far as
priority/strategies, this does not affect that._

- Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance
complexity?
    - - [x] No
    - - [ ] Yes (**explain below**)

_Not to my knowledge, but I'll rely on testers and the community to let
me know if it does._

forward, 1 step back. I used Claude Code with Sonnet 4.6 (high) and had
gemini/copilot review the work. **AI did generate a large portion of the
code being used.** I have personally reviewed every line, and a lot was
removed out of being obsolete/new system that copied an old one/too many
comments. I don't think anything else can be trimmed, though. I also
used AI in the PR description, and made my own comments in italics below
each entry. I hate explaining/writing._

## Notes for Reviewers
<!-- Anything else that's helpful to review or test your pull request.
-->

_I would like atleast 5-10 people to review this over the next 1-6
months. The big problem I used to have with my PRs was I was acting like
they were a sprint, when it's really a marathon - good changes take
time, and I was too quick to bust out new content. The old PRs I made
introduced just as many new bugs as they did features. I learned my
lesson, and have tested this extensively (code was pretty much complete
on 4-10-26, been testing alone for the last 11 days) and it's ready for
the test realm for others to try out. I think it's going to be a good
step forward when it comes to gear decision making for bots as a whole.
PvPers have come and gone too much from this project due to the lack of
options, and this helps captivate that audience. Please reach out to me
on discord at Zhur#4391, I am happy to hear results/suggestions there as
well as here._

increases in logic complexity scale
poorly across thousands of bots and negatively affect all. We prioritize
a stable system over a smarter
one. Bots don't need to behave perfectly; believable behavior is the
goal, not human simulation.
Default behavior must be cheap in processing; expensive behavior must be
opt-in.

## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
I was getting annoyed by the constant "No event owner detected" message
after I enabled bot debugging messaging.
And then I figured that there is no reason that maintenance should
trigger this action every 5 seconds. So I swapped it to seldom, so it
runs every 5 mins. More Performance!

-->

## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
While testing vehicle combat in Wintergrasp, I was near two opposing
vehicles. They were right on top of each other, and I was hearing the
sounds of infantry melee attack. It looks like their auto-attack was on.

I had thought the check in
[GenericActions](0c205b8cef/src/Ai/Base/Actions/GenericActions.cpp (L46))
would prevent that, but I guess we need the extra defence.

Note that IsInVehicle first three parameters are
canControl/canCast/canAttack

<!--

-->
There isn't vehicle combat scenarios (particularly vehicle on vehicle)
in Playerbots right now that allow for obvious testing. I only learned
about this through testing my unpublished Wintergrasp implementation.
Regardless, the change is simple and the effect on code should be clear.

- Step-by-step instructions to test the change.
- Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, number of bots, specific
configuration).
- Expected behavior and how to verify it.
-->

1. Invite bot tank
2. Use `reset boAI` or `nc +pull,+pull back` + `co +pull,+pull back`
3. Order bot to pull using command `pull my target` or `pull rti target`
4. Bot should run to mob, use ranged skill and back to point where he
started pull
Without `pull back` strategy bot run to mob, use ranged skill and wait
on mob until he come to bot

Fix Potential Dereference in AttackAction (#2308)
<!--
Thank you for contributing to mod-playerbots, please make sure that
you...
1. Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master.
2. Read the guidelines below before submitting.
3. Don't delete parts of this template.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND
PREDICTABILITY over behavioral realism.

Every action and decision executes PER BOT AND PER TRIGGER. Small
increases in logic complexity scale
poorly across thousands of bots and negatively affect all. We prioritize
a stable system over a smarter
one. Bots don't need to behave perfectly; believable behavior is the
goal, not human simulation.
Default behavior must be cheap in processing; expensive behavior must be
opt-in.

Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles.
-->

## Pull Request Description
<!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed -->
AttackAction::Attack() uses target before checking it. This has never
historically been a problem for me, but yesterday it was somehow causing
me to crash every time I ordered a bot to attack. Rebuilding didn't
solve the issue so it didn't seem to be a bad build. The problem was
fixed by moving the target check to the beginning of the function.

I restored the function to its existing ordering today and tested again,
and somehow I don't crash anymore regardless. I'm confused as hell, but
regardless, this is a fix that should be made.


## Feature Evaluation
<!--
If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and
it is very obvious it will not have
any impact on performance, you may skip these question. If necessary, a
maintainer may ask you for them later.
-->

<!-- Please answer the following: -->
- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior.
- Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many
bots.

I had GPT-5.4 try to help me identify the source of the crash. I
couldn't trace it to any particular PR, but it did identify the issue
that is the subject of this PR.

Enable bots to do Outdoor pvp (#2217)
## Pull Request Description
Bots will now engage with outdoor pvp targets when in an area with them.
I carved this out of the guildrpg system Im working on since it should
work just fine as a standalone. Note this requires a core update
https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/pull/25103

## Feature Evaluation

Its not expensive. the status checks are fairly light and simple. Should
be on par with current rpg system actions

## How to Test the Changes

You can try to use selfbot to enable this while in EPL, or set the
probability of all other rpg actions to 0.


## Impact Assessment
<!-- As a generic test, before and after measure of pmon (playerbot pmon

    - [ ] No, not at all
    - [x] Minimal impact (**explain below**)
    - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**)

There is some impact, but should be minimal overall. 

- Does this change modify default bot behavior?
    - [ ] No
    - [x] Yes (**explain why**)
It will activate automatically based on default config. 


- Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance
complexity?
    - [ ] No
    - [x] Yes (**explain below**)

Fix Undead/Draenei bots stuck in starting zones (#2298)
## Pull Request Description

Undead and Draenei bots get stuck in an idle/rest loop in their starting
zones because the default NPC scan range (150f) and quest giver filter
(80f) are too small and not enough. NPCs fall within range for
`WANDER_NPC` to activate (requires >= 3).

This adds a configurable area-based override that increases both ranges
to 200f only in affected areas. All other zones remain at default
values.

  ## Feature Evaluation

- **Minimum logic**: One `std::set::count()` lookup per `Calculate()`
call to check if the bot's current area is in the override list. If yes,
scan range is 200f instead of 150f.
- **Processing cost**: `GetAreaId()` is a cached uint32 read (~1ns).
`std::set::count()` on a 2-element set is O(log n) ≈ 1 comparison.
Negligible compared to the grid scan itself (~33,000-53,000ns).

  ## How to Test the Changes

  1. Create Undead or Draenei bots (level 1)
2. Observe that they pick up quests and start moving in Deathknell/Ammen
Vale
  3. Without this fix, they sit in REST status indefinitely
4. Optionally add/remove area IDs via
`AiPlayerbot.RpgScanRangeOverrideAreaIds` in playerbots.conf

  ## Impact Assessment

- Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling
poorly with thousands of bots?
      - [x] Minimal impact
      - pmon data (500 bots, extended run):
        - Default 150f: 0.033ms avg
        - Global 200f: 0.053ms avg
        - Area check (this PR): 0.042ms avg
- The 0.009ms increase over default is caused by bots currently in
starting zones scanning at 200f. Bots outside override areas are
unaffected.

  - Does this change modify default bot behavior?
      - [x] No

- Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance
complexity?
      - [x] No
- Uses the existing `LoadSet`/`std::set` config pattern already used
throughout the codebase.

  ## AI Assistance

  - [x] Yes
- Used AI to speed up understanding the codebase, locate relevant
functions, and compare with the cmangos playerbots implementation. All
code was reviewed and tested manually.

  ## Final Checklist

  - [x] Stability is not compromised.
  - [x] Performance impact is understood, tested, and acceptable.
  - [x] Added logic complexity is justified and explained.
  - [x] Any new bot dialogue lines are translated.
  - [x] Documentation updated if needed (Conf comments, WiKi commands).

  ## Notes for Reviewers

The root cause is that `WANDER_NPC` requires `possibleTargets.size() >=
3`, but sparse starting zones have fewer than 3 NPC-flagged units within
150f. Increasing the scan range to 200f brings enough NPCs into range
for the status check to pass. The override is configurable via
`AiPlayerbot.RpgScanRangeOverrideAreaIds` so server admins can add more
areas without code changes.
