Has anyone else noticed that the Animator P II +1 will sometimes cause the automaton to stand there and do nothing, even if it isn't actively repositioning? (Note: I have had no problems with the Animator P +1).

II is specifically for ranged.

Yes, it breaks ai, and yes it's really *** stupid how bad they are at item descriptions. Embarrassing really.

I was using a caster frame and it just stopped casting. It had mp and was not silenced.

Blm frame has scanner built in but even then i think it will cast bio if it can, cant remember. Should just make a disclaimer in guides to not use II animators, they cause more problems than they solve imo
