Bot rebuffing

[provocating]

Just an FYI I found a strange bug. It is so strange I have no idea what would even cause this.

Create a Necromancer toon. Level him via command to around Level 20, 40 whatever...just not close to 65 as this does not work at level 65.

Now create an enchanter bot and spawn him, invite him and let him start buffing.

He will cast rune and you will never get it, he will cast until he is out of mana. I tried this on other characters like a warrior with an enchanter, or a ranger with an enchanter and it does not reproduce.

I have MGB turned on my server, not sure if that makes a difference but I really want that left on. I tried other clients just for good measure and they all do it. No idea what is different about a necromancer, so I have no clue where to even look to fix it.

Looking through the code I think I may have found the offending section of code and it does kind of explain it. There is a check to see if the target character is a Necromancer and if they have Lich on, it is supposed to skip them. I have no buffs on this level 20 guy, and it keeps casting repeatedly. I am going to work with this later on today and see if I can figure it out.

Okay I finally got time to look at it again. I found how to fix it, at least for myself.

                  {
                                // don't cast this on necro's, their health to mana
                                // spell eats up the rune spell and it just keeps
                                // getting recast over and over
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                SpellOnTarget(thespell, g->members[i]);
                            }

Basically just removing the first section and letting it cast. At least on my server this is working, otherwise it is getting caught in a loop. I am sure there is a more elegant solution but this will work for me, for now.
