Steps:

1. Buffed myself with protect 5, shell 4, haste, refresh, phalanx, regen
2. traded ferrite to ??? to pop Armed Gears
3. fought it using weapon skill attonement
4. keeping enspells of oposite element and using barspells as Armed Gears casted various enspells
5. at 49% the firs gear disapeared however its Magic Defence remained the same (my Enspells kept doing same damage, should have increased)
6. at 24% 2nd gear disapeared however Magic Defence and Defence remained the same, Chant du Cygne never once done over 128 damage, Weapon skills damage should have increased, melee damage remained the same, mele damage should have increased
7. killed just before rage, fight should have taken 45 mins to solo on PLD/RDM

What you were doing when the issue occurred. Fighting Armed Gears only

macro commands: Just the normal /ja /ma /ws commands for Paladin abilities spells and sword weapon skills

What should have happened: at 49% Armed Gears magic defence should have been reduced, enspell damage should have increase. at 29% Armed gears defence should have deminished along with its magic defence, mele damage should have increased along with weapon skill damage, enspel damage should have increased as well

this was not my 1st time soloing this, and i was soloing it for Kodaijin, i have solo'd this ZNM before with no issue. last time i solo'd it was before last update
