NPC Bots High Damage

[Kabakaylen]

I have found while running level 60 bots on vanilla content (eg. vanilla raids, 60 end game dungeons etc.) that bot DPS is extremely high with mediocre gear.

I am running an Azerothcore 3.3.5a server with the latest build with Autobalance and NPC bots (both of your forked versions).

My MT bot has DPS around 800-900 (with 1H and shield in dungeon blue gear) and attackers have DPS (again in Dungeon blue gear) fluctuating between 800-1400 DPS depending on AOE.

This seems to be consistent through level 60 content no matter if it is in a raid or dungeon. In a 5 man group in Strat with Autobalance creature stats all at 1.0, the DPS is essentially the same as in a 10 man group raiding Molten Core with Autobalance creature stats around ~0.65.

I am wondering if this is just how the bots scale, or if there is something wrong in my configuration that I should be looking for as I am not completely sure how much impact the gear has on the bots DPS.

For now in the config I have set the level 60-69 bot DPS to 0.5 (down from 1.0) to compensate for this which seems to bring it in line with what I believe the DPS for this level should be ~400-500 DPS.

Thank you very much for this amazing work you have done!!!

I'm not totally aware of AC changes to DPS calculation over last couple months, but there are always at least two things to consider:

• Modules that affect creature damage (like Autobalance)
• [AC] [Feature] [Spell] why npc bot's damge so high, 2 to 3 times than it should be #692 (comment). When I first merged bots into AC I noticed this damage calculation code being slightly different from what TC has there. Probably a typo I said and added a commented TC version of that code, but never uncommented it. See if that helps

Thanks a ton! I will play around with those commented sections and report back. I will also disable AB just to be sure (but based on creature stats and my observations with full groups/adjusted groups I do not think it is the factor here).

I can confirm that following this (#692 (comment)) dramatically helped with bot DPS coming back down to earth. Now I can fine tune it from here.

Thank you!
