    Clerics are a lot slower. Also, primal cyclone interferes with pickups, so skip that skill if you're building a pure drone. Seems the casting animation ends in midair making autoculti think the character is stuck...

    As for arcane toons, you do need more prep time/skill with them to have them become mana independent, but after that you usually have a toon that will oneshot things without the need for ammo:
    - Sage Psy needs Sage Aqua Impact (hellishly expensive) for extra chi. Once you have that, spark should selfreplenish if you're full arcane.
    - Sage Cler needs Sage Spirits Gift (cheap), Demon Cler needs Demon Celestial Guardian (expensive).
    - Wizard needs Primal Glacial Embrace for chi gain (timeconsuming, needs rebirth). Then spark selfreplenishes mana.
    - Sage Myst needs Sage Natures Vengeance, the extra chi gain causes spark to selfreplenish there too.

    Melee toons:
    - Sins: BP. Enough said. Sins have the advantage that they can go full dex/offense as a drone, making them fast killers. Their G15/G16 weapons are expensive.
    - BMs: Diamond Sutra early on in the attack routine can help (leave at lvl 1). Lateron simply APS claw/fist and use sparks to regain health. BMs are not great for crowded spots, as their damage output and speed are both average.
    - Barbs: Either Sage Feral Regeneration or another +MP regen item and Sunder in the attack routine should do the trick (works as low as lvl 59). APS barbs can simply spark. Barbs in untamed form are faster then other melee characters, so they are great at getting the first hits in in crowded spots, outrinning those damned Sins.
    - Archers: Spark is all you need. Throwing Awaken in the attack routine trades MP for HP this way, MP regen item recommended if you do this. Archers are difficult to selflevel past level 85ish however... a bit fragile. Weapons are somewhat cheap for archers (Sling is the best pure botting weap)


    Also, I don't think botting for cash will be over with the next patch. Nerfed, sure, but not gone. I did a quick test on my main toons... 1/4th of the income is from coin pickups and random equipment drop sales. You'll need an expanded inventory to take advantage of that though.

    I don't think it's the primal cyclone. While it happens on cleric more, I have seen my sin skip drops too. I have also seen them go over and pick 2/3 drops leaving the last behind until glitter wears off. This is without getting aggro from a nearby mob. I think it has more to do with auto culti not detecting it. Also even if it is skipped, you go right back to it after glitter wears off.
