    I have also been having that odd "initial target" issue with Slugs and Lamias.

    I normally tank Rafflesia past 40%, so when the Slugs spawn, they go right after me, and return to the PLD tank after they hit me once. I compensate for this by holding Raff in the center until I see that they slugs hit me, usually 3 small hits within 1 second, then I move her back.

    As for Lamias... ugh.
    As Traek said, they seem to target someone "as" they spawn, and even if I have aggro on it as soon as I can target it and hit a combo'ed Skull Sunder, it will still run across the arena to some seemingly random person... more often than not, it goes after our bard kiter / renaud placer, gives them an angry look (but doesnt actually hit them), then comes back to me.
    All in all, this tends to cost us about 2 gcds, and is slowing down our kill speed on the adds.

    One other thing to note. I dont recall this kind of behavior occurring right after 2.3, instead it feels like it started after the hotfix to raise Mark HP, and make them immune to Provoke.

    I highly doubt that this was intended, as it makes endgame fights feel very clunky. Any chance of seeing a quick dev/GM comment regarding this issue?
