Ranged Rogue Companion Problem

[AlanJ]

One of my games is playing as a ranged Rogue but my companion (Gris) will often just stand next to me while I get in a ranged battle rather than going forward to engage the enemy. She only attacks if hit herself or the enemy closes with me.

In the latest versions I reduced the companion aggro range, is that the problem? If an enemy is at less than 5 meters (tiles), she should charge. It was 7 previously.

I'll soon allow the player to adjust the companion aggro range, position, tell them to stop, etc.

Please add "assist (against my target)" to that list.

Switching targets is difficult for the player, and companions will basically target the first enemy they see.

Would it be a good idea to add a "Stay behind me when possible" command that makes them try to be 2 or 3 tiles behind you? Adaon is a great shot, but he often gets himself on the wrong side of the tank.

Getting a feedback like vibe here based on suggestions being made, so I moved it to feedback.
