Yeah - incomplete but interesting ..

I gave a pawn (lvl.100+) only a rusted bow + Fivefold Flurry, Mighty Bend , and Shriek Dart (no combat augments)


 * vs Goblins (Conqueror's Sanctuary the pawn spammed Mighty Bend (barely any fivefold, didn't even use shriek) using Loose about 1 in 3
 * Thought this might be because weak bow, so changed to Pleached Limbs from then on .. no change...

Now using Pleached Limbs I tried other places
 * Devilfire Goblins - still spamming Might Bend - occassional fivefold, never shriek dart
 * Estan Plains Bandits - now reversed - spams Shriek Dart and barely uses the others
 * Miasmic swamp - spammed Shriek Dart against Snow Harpys (even though it seems to have no effect) .. pawn also got blinded and continue to spam - not sure if this matters
 * vs Devilfire Grove Saurians - seemed to prefer Mighty Bend but used the other two - maybe 2:1:1
 * vs Miasmic Swamp Sulfur Saurians - similar to Saurians above

Also tried tests without support pawns, and comparing Pioneer/Acquistor with a pure Utilitarian pawn - didn't seem to make a big difference - Utilitarian didn't seem to make the pawn use Shriek Dart in situations it hadn't before (like I hoped..)

..when I say "spam" the results were really conclusion typically 10:1 ratio .. really obvious

idk why bandits, but not goblins .. probably worth testing other skills (I seem to remember some spamming of fivefold vs Chimera too ...) Conclusion
 * Pawns do spam this vs Bandits (male) [didn't test female]
 * Pawns spam Mighty Bend instead of this vs Goblins/Hobgoblins
 * Pawns spam it vs Snow Harpys (maybe)
 * Not sure with Saurians.
