Character Name: Dragoy
Race: Hume
World: Fenrir
Main Job: Samurai
Support Job: Warrior
Area and Coordinates: Al Zahbi (G-11)
Party or Solo: Party
NPC Name: General Gadalar
Monster Name: Lamia No.9 / Lamia's Elementals
Steps:

1. Arrive near General Gadalar to assist in battle with Lamia No.9 and its three Lamia's Elementals.
2. Receive damage from regular attacks of the elementals.
3. Observe excessively high damage: ~300 to over 700 points per regular attack (with ~69 points of additional damage) against an adventurer.
4. Observe Lamia No.9 itself deal only ~70 points of damage via regular attacks.

Additional details:

Unsure if this could be related to the Serpent's Guile, the support effect related to General Gadalar (Magic Attack, Magic Accuracy, Refresh, Magic Critical Hit).

Comparatively, the elementals did seem to deal a lot higher damage against General Gadalar as well, at around ~50 points of damage, versus ~8 points of damage the Lamia No.9 would deal (using regular attacks).

I might of course be missing something, and this is working completely as intended.

Thank you!

Working as intended (https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/353-%E6%95%99%E3%81%88%E3%81%A6%EF%BC%81%E9%96%8B%E7%99%BA%E3%81%95%E3%82%93%EF%BC%81?p=507248#post507248). Magic cast on her causes her elementals to level up.

Thanks, did not remember that!

I do wonder if it's still excessive now, though. I don't think other players had been fighting it at that point, yet, but I suppose General Gadalar would count as well.

I certainly never noticed an issue with it before now, but well, did not get that lucky yet I guess.
