MND/HNMs and Banish Testing

[Jeryhn]

one note worth mentioning:

i feel that SE programmed the mob's AI to recognize when its enfeebled, and NOT attempt to cast when its "spell timer" is up. So when the "timer" is up and the mob is still silenced, the cycle loops over and over until silence wears... as opposed to it simply attempting to cast and not being able to, and continuing to attempt until it is successful.

could be wrong, but the fact that you never see a mob's Job Ability interrupted by paralyze kinda supports this (unless all mobs have a 0s wait timer on JA).

Except this is the same mob AI that has the Bibiki Bay Hobgoblin WHM's casting Silena on themselves right after silence wears.

And Stona after Stun (I would guess Terror too).

I've fought a lot of Liches recently for Ancient Papyrus. I noticed the instant that silence wore on them they would cast something. (Ice spikes, blind, frost, freeze) Maybe some mobs are programmed to be smarter than others.

Similar things happen with sleep. Usually when a mob that casts magic is slept, the moment it wakes up it will cast something. Depending on the mob, i can be whatever is in their spell list, but some mobs do the same thing over and over.

For example, Ouryu usually casts Stonega3 the moment he wakes up.

HOLD THE PHONE
There's more spells than Haste, Cure III, Refresh, and Stun for RDM...?

I never got those other scrolls. Oh, except for enthunder because rdm is a melee machine.

Fafhogg usually does some type of TP move the instant he wakes up. So they gotta have some type of AI for that.

About Fafnir:
