Anything done about thralls that don’t react unless your being hit by an enemy? Noticed it to be an issue, if your not taking a hit the thralls don’t react or attack.
Can’t tell if the same happens in purges, would be bad if the purge were attacking walls while thralls stand by and watch.
I also noticed thralls do not use full weapon combos or just have a staring contest with the enemy, sometimes even sinking into the ground.
I used Anos Preyfinder “named archer from Volcano” in the unamed city and he was completely useless, as soon as he got hit he got staggered, unable to shoot his bow and when he went into melee with daggers. He wouldn’t perform a full combo, just one slash and then stand there and take hits.
I mostly use Spinas the marauder when i go adventuring nowadays. Hes equipped with a sword of crom, sometimes he attacks, sometimes he just stands there and stares at the enemy while getting clobbered.
Another issue with Thralls is that they go crazy on pve servers if someone not in your clan visits your base. Something tells them that the visitor is an enemy but are unable to attack.
Thralls act in a different way if in follow mod or if guarding.
This said, yes they waite till you get a first hit before entering in action if they follow you. This is good and bad.
It’s bad if you don’t see the enemis coming, and they will not react. But good, because this allows you also to approach some area without the thralls runing to attack all on sight.
Then i don’t think an archer is the smartest choice for the unnamed city. Take a good fighter coming with a 2hander, stuff with the best heavy armour you can afford for him, give him a 2h sword, and see what happens.
I can only address your middle comment, but it has been my experience that thralls on guard during a purge automatically defend, as do pets. They also move around to the threat, sometimes up/down stairs to shoot (archer) and when the threat is gone, regrouping, return to their assigned spot.
I have even arrived late to see bodies (theirs, not mine) as a result of proper defense.
