                aha that also  awaiting indirect nerf of ooze on everything, get your ody RP while you can boys. but also get your NM kills while you can! it would be funny if it was based per nm for weekly chest bonus (for how many matters you get or whatever)
 
gonna just give 100+ at this rate if so

I wouldnt be surprised if some codes overlapping between their fomor code and their limbus code wrt the DT my guess honestly is something is glitching out with the hp down and it's reducing to 100% and not 10%. and then the dot kills the nm

                that would defeat the entire purpose of time gating it the way they did.  you kill the minimum, or an infinite number, same 1 matter per week or however many it is

                just used purulent on an nm with 49% hp. its hp was brought to 100% and died right after

It's the overflow glitch. Looking at Falkirk's screenshot, it appears Purulent Ooze is  healing the NM instead of reducing it by 10%. I agree with Nynja's post, it looks like it's causing the mobs HP to exceed 100%, and the game doesn't know what to do with it, so it assumes you must have done so much damage to actually exceed it's health entirely, and it just dies. This was something you could do in FF7 and other SE games, but likely due to its weird coding.

Well  that's gonna get an emergency maint and some bans. 
Part of me wants to believe that SE added some job-specific kill-switch/gimmick that 1/22 jobs gets for each of these new NMs ....but I guess that would be silly for a server-wide NM.

                It seems to happen sometimes in Apollyon - exit teleporters can have a secondary target. I've seen "NPC" like yours and also just <blank square> as well.

                That was the NPC that would report zone status and time remaining. Not sure why they didnt just remove it entirely.

                Holy crap the amount of people whining about losing ML they botted or paid for is absolutely unreal in this thread. 
Oh my God, can you imagine if you died 500 times to these NMs and then *gasp* lost 1 STR and 7 HP?! I'm not doing this content, it's just not worth it!
 
Please, loosen the grasp on your pearls and realize how ridiculously miniscule the penalty for dying is. Unless you're homepointing every time and throwing your body at it constantly, you will never, ever, ever notice these deaths. It doesn't matter. Chill.
 
If you're really obsessed with maintaining your full screen of ML50 blue numbers, you can turn your bots back on, it's fine. Or you can buy some more gil and pay the RMT to bot it for you.

                just used purulent on an nm with 49% hp. its hp was brought to 100% and died right after  
lmao 
 
I wouldnt be surprised if some codes overlapping between their fomor code and their limbus code wrt the DT my guess honestly is something is glitching out with the hp down and it's reducing to 100% and not 10%. and then the dot kills the nm 
It's the overflow glitch. Looking at Falkirk's screenshot, it appears Purulent Ooze is  healing the NM instead of reducing it by 10%. I agree with Nynja's post, it looks like it's causing the mobs HP to exceed 100%, and the game doesn't know what to do with it, so it assumes you must have done so much damage to actually exceed it's health entirely, and it just dies. This was something you could do in FF7 and other SE games, but likely due to its weird coding. 
I thought this too, but it's even more broken. Just worked on a NM that had 58% hp when I oozed it and one shot lol

                Wonder if they broke HP down entirely or just vs those NMs. Probably the latter but...has anyone tried it outside of Limbus?

                I'm curious if it one shots the normal mobs in limbus. There's no reason to ever ooze them. 
Already answered that fast 
 
It's probably the way mobs level down when interacted with, that's why the hp goes up (they got weaker and have less hp to fill the bar more) and then it counts 10% of the maximum instead of the new limit killing them. 
 
The nm's aren't supposed to have this mechanic, but that's what it looks like happens. Like they're becoming level 1, instead of 130.

Don't think it has anything to do with it's health, but how the numbers in the damage formula are stored and what happens when an enfeebling effect that deals damage interacts with the mob. Normally it just deals damage, but because they added something wonky to the damage calculation of mobs in Limbus, it's basically corrupting the formula and killing mobs instantly.

Thorny might be savvy enough to explain what is going on with the damage calculation

                has anyone tried it outside of Limbus 
On a lark I tried it on Quetz and nothing happened. Would've been funny, though.

                So -10% HP gives it 1 HP and then it dies to Bio. The three ways I see that happening are: 
1. It has a native +1000% HP buff that gets overwritten to -10%, but they calculate the -10% max HP based off the buffed max HP. 
2. It has native -90% max HP and ooze's -10% stacks with it. 
3. Some form of even more al dente spaghetti code
 
Anyway, sounds like next week will be a good week to farm chests if anyone on Lakshmi bothers exploiting this.

                if its dying to DoT, then that would heavily imply the HP down from Ooze is reducing its HP to a number between 1-15 and bio is finishing it off.

Please, loosen the grasp on your pearls and realize how ridiculously miniscule the penalty for dying is. Unless you're homepointing every time and throwing your body at it constantly, you will never, ever, ever notice these deaths. It doesn't matter. Chill. 
 
If you're really obsessed with maintaining your full screen of ML50 blue numbers, you can turn your bots back on, it's fine. Or you can buy some more gil and pay the RMT to bot it for you. 
Way to be a total f'ing jerk! Some of us actually don't bot or pay for MLs, and it's obnoxious to have this exemplar sink.
