so i was fighting grindor today in AM under the 'defensive power gain' mod and grindor refused to attack and just gathered energy until 3 bars and that was his first strike. so i'm not sure that's really legitimate behavior for a bot. I wasn't triggering his blocking just waited patiently for an attack that never came.
So just putting this here, let me know your thoughts.

Having said that... Yes, bots on power gain mods act differently, and they will often wait out for an s3. Starscream miniboss is notorious for this.
Also, ive noticed that these bots tend to block more when you are close up to them, or if you are also blocking. So, you just have to go at them slightly differently. I try to dance a lot when fighting those bots and wait for an opening...if the bot refuses to fight ill rush in and hit them with a heavy which usually gets them to fight back some. But, you also have to sort of accept the fact that you will probably take a S3 to the face at some point when doing those lanes.
I’ve seen ai just stop and stand there before as well usually I pop them with a range to get them moving again but it can be frustrating but it is I’m pretty sure a reactive thing
I see this commonly on resource nodes in raid and power gain nodes in Spotlight. What everyone here has said works. just have to nudge them into fighting back at times.
this isnt a power gain mod where you have to hit him. using heavy attack will only make him block and feed him further energy. he gets energy from blocking which is why shooting him will also make him block and feed more energy. i treat this mod alot like i do reflect, not shooting to not encourage blocking and just counter/drain with prowl. didnt work this time he just danced around till sp3
