MCH's stabilizer during hunts (bug?)

[Ghastly]

Is it just me or does it sometimes not work during hunts? Like it won't let you use it?

Enemies have limited capacity in their agro table. If you tag it but that table is already full, it won't count you in combat and won't let you use certain skills.

Ah, that makes sense. A few times I've arrived late to hunts and haven't been able to get my DoT spells to work. Must be the same issue.

Interesting, thank you, that's too bad..it works in eureka though.

Then you may consider yourself lucky! There are more times than I can count that I couldn't use my Stabilizer during a Eureka NM or that my Flamethrower wouldn't build up any Heat because I wasn't high enough on the enmity list, despite being one of the first few people who tagged it, but especially when I am a bit late to a NM.

This issue also affects WAR and their Infuriate Skill, because if you aren't on an enemy's aggro table then you aren't technically considered in combat, so any skills that are restricted to "combat-only" cannot be used. It's been an issue for quite a while, unfortunately.

This is annoying to deal with for MCH and WAR, but nice for NIN as it means you can hide in combat and execute Trick Attack without needing to use Suiton.
