Golem not using runes?

[williestout]

Hello,
Googling comes up empty. Why would the golem not use biting gale and acid wave? Changing talent usage weight does nothing, changing "tactics" the golem uses does nothing.

Thanks in advance!

Only reason I know of is he's trying to avoid friendly fire with the waves

Hi! It sounds frustrating that your golem isn't using those abilities. Sometimes, the AI prioritization can be a bit off, especially if certain conditions aren't met. Have you tried adjusting the golem's behavior settings or ensuring it has enough resources to use those skills? If the issue persists, it might be worth reporting it as a bug to the developers. Good luck!

Hey! This is a pretty common issue with golem AI. Sometimes it just refuses to use runes even if everything seems set up correctly. A few things to check:

Make sure the golem has enough energy and isn't on cooldown.

Some runes don’t trigger unless enemies are in a certain range or line of sight.

The AI settings can be a bit wonky—try manually triggering the rune once and see if it works after.

Also, certain mods or updates might affect behavior. If nothing works, it might just be one of those quirks in the current version. Good luck!
