Topic: Surprise! PVE - Follow Bot Aggro
Just cam back after a long hiatus and (Surprise!) immediately lost a Riveller-repper follow bot due to unexpected aggro. I had my main combat bot set up with a buffer tank. And based upon previous aggro rules, my follow bot had no active repping (really no tanking at all except for buffer tank/resists skills) cuz when I took my game-vacation, repping bots did not pull aggro. Yesterday, my Rivel-repper pulled the whole field and died way faster than my Gropho could kill them off.
Anyway, I need help with build and strategy suggestions for main combat bot + repper follow bot combo. If you have specific info for Gropho and Riveller combo, cool. I'd be overjoyed with generic info too !
Maybe the answer is simple: build active tankage on both bots with DPS on the Gropho and remote repping on the Riveller. But what happened was that the Riveller pulled THE WHOLE DAMN FIELD aggro !!! So whatever tankage I build on it, it has to survive the fight until the Gropho can take out PVE attackers and/or until they disengage - which they did not do until the Riveller was a smoking wreck.
For example, one thing I thought was to use the Riveller as a "post fight repair bot" and put an active tank on the Gropho - a time saver between fights. Or, have the aggro changes made follow bots essentially useless in PVE?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
