Ixion glitch?

[Olo401]

This happens every once in a while - Ixion will go on one of his random charges or he'll just gallop around, then he'll turn around and just stand there until someone takes action on him - usually a ranged attack will get him moving again. We just called it a coffee break and used it as a chance to rebuff and rest a couple ticks of MP.

It happened to me not for Ixion but for Dynamis - Jeuno last night.

I gravity a MNK and proceed to Blizzard III to try to activate {Hundred Fists}, but it just stood there.
Then i toss another Thunder III but it still stood there motionless.
Not even attacking the melees crowding around it.

Then all the BLMs just continue nuking till it died.

And no the goblin is not slept by anyone. :b

If it was a MNK from the steps on the left side of the AH area, then this is normal. One MNK there thinks its a SMN or RNG, and just stays at range for the majority of the fight. Its been like that forever.

Not to derail the thread even more with the weapon skill thing, but a mob's TP move cannot miss a shadow. If the mob's TP move is threefold and you have 2 shadows left, you'll lose both regardless of how many hits the monster connects, every time. If you have three or four shadows up in said case, it'll show you lost 3 shadows, despite the monster possibly being a lv1 flashed bat (or some such). Whether or not the weapon skill says ", but misses [player]." is dependent on the hits that come after the shadows are wiped.

For example, if a fourfold monster TP move is used on you, and you have 2 shadows left, and all 4 hits connect, you'll take damage. If the first two hits miss and the second two hits connect, you'll take damage. If the first two hits connect and the second two hits miss, you'll get the miss message.

That's how I understand it; hard to prove, but makes the most sense. Alternatively, if the first two hits miss and the second two connect, it might say ", but misses [player]." because the latter two hits took the shadows, but I don't believe this to be the case. Regardless, you'll never see a "[#] of [player]'s shadows absorb the damage and disappear." for a TP move that has more swings than the amount of shadows you have left.

It works like non-fomor ranged attacks.
