That's where AI shines. Far better than you. The Ossirian example you gave is something AIs can execute to perfection. They can keep track of everything, model the probable positions of tornados X seconds in the future, and move everything while spamming the appropriate actions without missing a beat.
Heck, I know. 20 years ago, I was working on automated frigate fire. You have an incoming missile, and 3 separate flights of possible hostiles coming in, any of which can launch a couple additional missiles. Which one do you shoot first, knowing exactly your chances of hitting and the maximum rotation rate of your turrets for aiming? And unlike a guild, you can't tell your fire officers that they suck after the wipe
(OTOH, I agree about the reaction rather than bot-level automation. I was talking about "real AIs", not the scripted bot things we see in WoW)
