Amun claiming and enmity issues

Amun does not follow normal hate patterns. With any other Abyssea NM, the first person to take action against the NM, through melee, magic, or job ability, that person would be the one who gains the Key Item.

However with Amun, one must make 2-3 actions to ensure positive hate. This is also an issue with actually claiming. Several times in the past few days, my linkshell has attempted to claim, and after using Provoke, Stun and Chi Blast, the NM starts moving towards that person, and almost immediately returns to an unclaimed status, allowing other groups to claim.

This issue happens to a couple of abyssea NMs as well, The Corse NM in the Canyon, and Heqet as well.

I've noticed this before with the Corse in Tahrongi, though it may be intended. I recall that we switched do doing damage to claim the Corse: melee, ranged attack or spells, and claimed every time. It's possible that these other NM's have a similar feature (or bug), where passive acts of aggression have no effect. Kinda like Hpemde's in sea.

Whether this is intended or not, I have no idea, but give it a whirl and see if it work.

This very issue has won me multiple claims I would have lost otherwise :D

Thank you for your report Snprphnx. I actually have no idea if that is intended or not, but we'll get the final verdict. First we'll need for you to fill out some additional information if you don't mind. We only ask for the details because anything could be the cause of a bug. Thank you for your help!
