I've tried to dualbox this NM 3 times this week, the first time I was playing RDM/NIN and BLM, I died on pull and it depopped(irrelevant, but frustrating anyway). The second time, I successfully pulled it to the caedarva zone(azouph) without dying, kited it on RDM and zone-nuked with BLM. At roughly 55%, it did the jumping type attack which I blinked, and ran out of range. It chased me for a bit, then deaggroed. I tried to pull it again with thunder3, it claimed and unclaimed again(much like if your first action on a mob is paralyzed, it will claim the monster but gain no enmity). I put poison up immediately after, just to make sure it didn't regen. Brought BLM char over to it, burst 2 did the same thing. Afterwards, I manafonted and did around 15k damage dropping it to mid-30%s.. still nothing. I continued to keep DoTs up and nuke with both characters as mp permitted.. it just ignored everything and depopped less than 3 seconds after an action with DOT on. I called a GM, they warned me not to deaggro the mob in the first place and said it was intended behavior(lol). So today, I brought NIN + BRD(to not outrun it) and did the same pull to be sure i didn't aggro during fight. At roughly 70%, it entered jumping mode. This time, it actually landed one through utsu then deaggroed. I put a fresh dia up with my brd, nothing. Meleed it for about 90 seconds, nothing. Then I provoked it, and it just killed my brd and went back to idle. I reraised, still meleeing it, and recast dia when it wore. It just continued to ignore everything and eventually depopped, nowhere near spawnpoint.
Edit: Forgot to add my actual question, has anyone seen behavior like this? What setup would you recommend for the NM(I can bring more people, but if it's going to do this again I would assume I need enough to kill it in 3 minutes after that happens.)?
