So how exactly do you get your automaton to be deployed but not melee? If I attack the pugil, both it and the auto follow me and I can't keep them apart, but if I Deploy the auto, it takes hate and the mob runs to it. Either way, the pugil doesn't last very long. It works a lot better when I fight RNG gobbies because they stand back and shoot arrows until around 75% and Soulsoother does very slow damage. Also, don't forget about the auto running of MP. A Mana Tank II and dark maneuvers make for quick refresh, especially if you have a Condenser to avoid overload. --Elwynn 21:44, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, it's kind of tricky, but I got it to work. What you do is /attack on a pugil from a distance, and unlock for easy movement. Then you Deploy the auto and immediately run for the pugil while your auto is busy curing your Mute or Curse. Attack the pugil, run it back to the Afflictor but away from the auto, and turn your back to it. If you do it right, the auto never gets to cast on the pugil because it's too busy casting Cursna, so it never gets hate.

However, the auto will still run up to melee when it runs out of MP if you don't refresh it with a Mana Tank and dark maneuvers. At level 57 it took about 10 minutes for my auto to run out of MP, so this isn't a "sit back and watch" method. --Elwynn 12:55, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

One more thing... if your auto casts Cure on you, it's all over. At lower levels, the pugil can do a bit more damage than the 1HP regen from /WHM, and the Curse effect limits your max MP. At level 59 you can wear a Vermillion Cloak to get enough Refresh to cast Cure on yourself every now and then. --Elwynn 14:47, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
