Skelli Necro GC

I would have added this in on Die's post but it is a little bit different. For some reason there are occasions when he will stand there attacking a swarm of gargoyles with no mana and will just keep fighting, doesn't do the skua help me thing for more mana. I don't understand if this is built in or it is just more of the gc/follower glitches manifesting themselves but it seems lightly broken that he will stand there trying to kill something while his spells are running and he has no mana.

I just lost my skelli gc because he stood there attacking and not getting mana, his spells ran im assuming because he didn't take any damage ever when I saw him(I wasn't away from him for a long time, he had just come over to get a hoard of gargoyles by me that I was running from).  This is really annoying, I don't see how anyone else who used necro didn't notice this.

I didn't use my Skelli GC past grolms. Once I got into garg pents I started using the undead since the skeleton uses up his mana pretty quick and is then useless.

I was planning on using him as long as he was useful, I can get him to brig gen rank currently with someone elses spells etc and he does a good job ripping up colonels at that rank. Only issue is that once in a while he decides to be stupid and just stands there attacking like he is melee and fights with no mana then his spells run and he dies.

Youre saying he doesnt use the mana he has or he just runs out and doesnt Skua! replenish when he can?

Doesn't Skua! replenish when he can all the time. He will sit there for up to 5 minutes sometimes just fighting and not replenishing his mana, this may be because he has like 5-10 mana left so all he can do is use 1 spell as in prot or ew etc. Is there a way to change the way he works so that he Skua! replenishes his mana at like 30 remaining mana or something, because waiting for him to replenish makes it almost not worth using him because I have to go save him from dieing sometimes when I notice this is going on.

The expression "Skua! Help me!" from an NPC comes if the following 3 criteria are satisfied
- alignment > 1000 (a good NPC but not a protected NPC)
- it is > 2 minutes since they last asked for help
- their mana < a third of the maximum.

The alignment of the GC is based on half the alignment of the player who sommons it. In most cases this is > 2,000 and hence the alignment criteria should be satisfied.

A normal GC can not get mana < a third so it can not satisfy this criteria.
