Nordom's crossbow

How do I make him stay in one spot and fire arrows at the enemy as I direct him to do? If I have him attack first, he always seems to run up to the enemy and then he gets badly damaged. Usually when someone else attacks first, he seems to stay back and fire arrows, though I'm not sure about this either.

Well his range isn't that great. That's why he has to run up to fire. I actually had him clear out almost all of Baator single-handedly using the shoot-shoot-run-repeat method. He's not that bad you just have to use him within his limits. He's definately my MVP.

He does fire from a fair distance some times, so I don't understand why he runs up and gets right next to the enemy like he is using a melee weapon.

I've never had him run up next to them before, just far enough to get in range. But I have noticed that the melee characters in PS:T, if told to attack someone that's moving will move to the position the enemy is moving to and wait to attack them at that point. That could have something to do with it. Just a thought.

You might check to see if you have the party AI turned on. I always leave mine off.

It was turned on but turning it off didn't help.

If you turn it off, position Nordom at a distance, and point him at a target, he should no longer run to it, but fire. Of course, if that target approaches him, you'll have to move Nordom away.

Thanks, that helped---but I still have trouble getting him turned in the right direction.
