Bots are frowned upon in general, I know. They don't scale to higher levels, and can sometimes interfere with scripting. General advice is to leave bots alone, focus on gear, and make a 2-box for support if needed instead. I get it.
But bots can be helpful for some at different points. Or just to try. And to be most helpful they need some gear.
There isn't really a way to see bot stats, afaik. If there is please just let me know. I was hoping to find out what gear stats actually work for bots. I have searched on the forums and discord, but it is still a bit unclear.
What Works
HP & Mana work - you can see the bars change with gear.
Limitation
Heal Amount / Spell Damage - bots do not benefit from these.

Any confirmation / clarifications on any the following would be helpful.
Presumed Limitations (are these right?)
Different Types of Stats
From conversations in ooc, again I have seen folk note that bots only benefit from white stats (not heroic). But is that all of the stats other than Heal Amount / Spell Damage? If it is not all, are there different types that work in the general types (as below)?
Would presume bots benefit from the following, but be great to confirm:
AC / Attack / Haste?
Str / Sta / Int / Wis / Agi / Dex / Cha? - though likely not heroic
Resists: Magic / Fire / Cold / Disease / Poison / Corruption?
What about base mods (other than Heal Amount / Spell Damage)?
Combat Effects / Combat HP Regen / Combat Mana Regen / Combat End Regen?
Spell Shield / Shielding / Damage Shielding Dot Shielding Damage Shield Mitigation?
Avoidance / Accuracy / Stun Resist / Strike Through / Clairvoyance?
What about skill mods?
Archery / Block / Defense / Dodge / Double Attack / Kick / Parry / Riposte
What about skill damage mods?
Bash / Backstab / Dragon Punch / Eagle Strike / Flying Kick / Kick / Round Kick / Tiger Claw / Frenzy
What about weapon procs / sympathetic?
There was at least one discord post noting that aoe on weapons for damage doesn't work, but aoe heal still did (hopebringer). Are there some types of procs that work and others that don't?
What about focus effects?
I seem to recall seeing an ooc conversation noting that focus effects do not work for bots. Is that right?

- Level 70 Spells - Bots can be level 80 (level is shown in bot listing - ^list), but seem to be limited to level 70 spells / abilities.
"Bots only get up to lvl 70 spells/abilities and do not benefit from the increased spell dmg/heal amt stats."
