AI have different ways to calculate when to shoot, AI have the ability to dodge if it was coded in, you just need someone with some ingenuity to make all those changes happen.

I never have nor probably ever will touch the balance/item sheets. Its not my thing.

That also results in more resources per AI if all AI were to function like that. While more "intelligent" AI are very desired on a linear game where these AI can be spawned when necessary or on a single-player game, in an MMO the general AI must be "intelligent" enough to perform their tasks without using up too much server resources. Bosses can be the exception considering how few there are and, assuming they don't roam, they can be frozen when no players are there to conserve resources.

so you havnt been working on bugs and such? i must be confuzing a couple of the admins.
