Im not very good at writing formatted paragraphs that make sense, so I'll just use bullet points
- Over level 100 engineers HAVE to have masteries/infuses/mochams/wrangle to cast a bot that would be of any use in a mission.
- ALL other classes do not HAVE to have buffs from other classes to be able to play their character.
- I waste a lot of time asking for mochams. On the rare occasions I am asked to join a team, I have to say that I can't because I NEED to get mochams for a decent bot.
- Why not just use a self-cast bot? The attack rating is so low on them they would miss 90% of the time in the missions the the vast majority of players over level 100 do (QL190ish).
Solution: Make engineer's bots stay while the character is logged! MPs would still be of a use as they can buff GA fixers, Engineers to create the bot the first time or after it dies, crats for their bots and other classes who want to cast nanos sooner.
