Party or Solo: Solo with 5 alter egos
NPC Name: Teodor, Mumor II, Ullegore, Ifrit
Monster Name: Obstreperous Panopt
Steps:

1. Not sure which issue is the glitch, but Obstreperous Panopts are healed by fire. Damage with fire. They get HP.
2. Because Panopts are supposed to be weak against fire, Alter Egos spam fire magic on them, constantly healing them. If the fire absorption is intentional, then the glitch is that many alter egos just repeatedly heal these monsters instead of hurting them. Tested alter egos: Teodor, Mumor II, Ullegore.

I'm guessing it's not a glitch. Also thinking that it would be kinda difficult to train the Trust AI to behave differently based on it facing a specific mob. So probably best solution would be to avoid using any Trust that casts fire spells.

When they do a backflip, panopts go into a magic absorb mode (so it's not just fire, but any magic damage heals them). They eventually will backflip again and stop absorbing magic damage.

yeah...check their eye...if its dark...they absorb magic. if its red, its free game to use magic

I have healed them from 1% to near full health with a spell due to not paying attn. when they do this /sad blm.
I just sit back and let my trusts beat them down until I can hurt them again.
