Shoggoth Frustration

I've been camping Shoggoth for my vere, using pup since its supposed to be an easy solo. But no matter what I do he keeps depopping on me. Whether my auto is on him or I am when he hits 10% he depops. Just now he did it mid-thundaga. After 8 pops, restarts, etc. I'm still 0/8.

Anyone else have this issue or anyone on Asura wanna try to get this guy with me? Maybe having multiple ppl on it will help, idk.

how long does it take you to get it that low? might be despawning due to a timer. bst should be a much faster easier solo than pup. asuming you have a respectable reward set.

bst cant use the trial h2h

Wiki Says:
Chainspell is used at approximately 80%, 60%, 40%, and multiple times at 20% and below.
Chainspell will completely reset enmity causing Shoggoth to cast on anyone within range with or without provocation.
If there are no targets within range when it uses Chainspell, Shoggoth will become passive and de-spawn immediately.

My guess is that when it chainspells and you aren't in range, it "has no targets" and despawns. Your automaton won't counts as a valid target if enmity is reset.

nope my auto is in range at chainspell in can survive it with a few dawn muslims. It doesnt take long to depop, maybe 5-10 minutes-ish and it will depop even when we are engaged and within range.

I poison pot > pop it > put auto on it > heal auto as it kills running in to tag it during chainspell and whenever its not aga-happy since auto has its attn. It depopped last time as it was casting even with me and my auto beating on it

I've done Shoggoth many many times and not had that problem.

Was gonna say something about possibly losing agg via puddles if fighting in Marshlands but that didn't seem right... A quick glance at his page produced this gem.

Ripped from Wiki: If there are no targets within range when it uses Chainspell, Shoggoth will become passive and de-spawn immediately.

Edit: Beaten, I walked away.

If you (not your automaton) is in range when it chainspells, then I have no idea. But your automaton being in range won't be enough. It's just like a BST pet- mobs won't attack it unless they are linking or unless the pet gains enmity through some action. A mob can't aggro an NPC. So if you, yourself are out of range when it chainspells, it won't have a trget to cast on and it will despawn.
