Just experienced something really odd last night, just wondering if anyone else has seen it, if it's normal-ish?
I haven't solo'd Steam Cleaner in about 6 months, but I do distinctly remember that if I wiped while doing so it'd fully despawn, and I'd have to pop it again from scratch. However last night I was popping coffers to clear inventory space, and found SC just wandering around in the basement on Seiryu side.
I was /WHM so a friend to kite it, I went to claim it and off the bat it was weird, it didn't magic aggro when I started casting Bind on it to claim, and it absolutely refused to come upstairs, everytime it stopped to cast a spell on me while on the stairs it would deaggro halfway through then go back to doing laps in the basement, even when I had put Bio/Poison up.
When my friend got there we eventually just decided to kite it in the basement since it wouldn't come upstairs, and the whole rest of the fight it was still totally wonky. It deaggro'd frequently and hate shifted back to me within seconds of him doing major hate-gaining moves while I was just resting. I was nuking to speed things up and got hit frequently so it definitely was getting plenty of TP built up, yet it only used 2 TP moves the whole fight up until the last 10% that we just fought straight up.
Anyways I know SC is OFN but it just struck me as really weird, I've fought it countless times and never seen it behave like that.
