.....can someone tell me what the deal is with the stupid plant?
It seems to randomly attack random group members, which will one-shot most non-tank Trusts for apparently no reason, and it seems to have such random AI behavior that I can't really understand any actual pattern.
The only thing I can figure out is that it randomly switches between Physical Defense Weakness and Magical Defense Weakness, but the constant status spam and the "LOL I ONE SHOT ONE OF YOUR TRUSTS RANDOMLY!" is making this thing a seriously annoying fight.
It'd be one thing if there was some kind of rhyme or reason, though I really wish they'd cut it out with the random "I KEEL YOU NOW!" random attacks on random group members... what's the point of a tank when the thing ignores hate tables seemingly at random? And sometimes it will randomly take even a well-geared player down to 10% HP at random with no actual reason displayed in the chat log.... just..... WHAM you're almost dead, have fun wasting half of your healer's MP on getting it back type crap that it does.
And again... Doom. *sigh* Can we stop this, please? One of the most lame status effects in the game, where you're forced to carry a bunch of junk in your inventory to not die. It doesn't really add extra challenge, it just adds annoyance to be forced to use holy waters just to get rid of the doom.
