In other words, the AI is working correctly, and prioritizing the proper ability. It just so happens that there's a taunt up which she can't go around until JMK has the high ground. Stop making the kits so crazy OP and ridiculous. If you make a character that insta kills on turn 1, you have to accept she might be forced to use it on the "non optimal" toon (ie, not gas)

They will keep attacking the previously taunting toon in soem cases without a taunt, that has been an ongoing issue with the AI. That may be part of what they are looking at, but we dont have details at this time.

What's wrong with AI attacking a tank that doesn't have taunt? Should AI avoid JML when he isn't taunting?

There is nothing wrong with attacking them, but after a taunt is gone it should go back to random or other priorities they have, and that doesnt always seem to be the case. But as I said I dont have details on what they are looking at, just talking.

After watching several videos back to back and watching CAT closely I think I know what the issue might be but it's a bit different than what the dev post says.
CAT seems to prefer to attack taunting tanks even when JMK has High Ground and it's not limited to Zombie/Brute. Unless there is a higher priority target - GAS or Thrawn - she usually goes for the taunting tank whether it's Zombie, Brute, Malak or someone else. She doesn't attack them as much when they aren't taunting.

Thanks for the breakdown.

I'm still not sure if it's even the same issue that the devs are talking about though. They say that CAT doesn't prioritize the preferred target. Are they talking about Daka/Brood? I don't think other teams target them either. For now it's "potential changes" so we have to wait and see.
