Mob Skills

Am I the only one who noticed that mobs (specially boss and mini boss) have skills they use?
And am I the only one who noticed that there is a rhythm in their every attacks? Although this is yet to be proven, but as a tank-mage, I noticed few rhythms in the few bosses that I recently fought. In any case, I shall prove this.

Ps: I haven't played since march till 2 weeks ago... so much changed... few mobs I haven't met so...

 

There are some patterns, for example after flinching or tumbling Roga, she'll most likely start to dash.

 

Agreed with this c.c, btw the pattern of the boss changes also depends on ur next action so u better "Predict the Unpredicted"

 

But doesn't the boss moves after u engage a fight with it also there might not be a pattern but there is a chain of attks that depends on how ur next of action is I think god I'm confused

 

But what happens when roga starts dashing 5 times in a row? More like Roga on steroids.

 

Hm good point because as it is not 100% of the time but Most of the time, a more precise word is Tendency than Pattern. Bosses have certain tendencies, but their behaviors can vary occasionally.

 

i guess it is a combination of both, pattern and randomness.
the pattern consists of a set of skills with a certain chance to be used.
then depending on the circumstances, the skill set and/or the activation chances will change.

Well I figured something as well... there are patterns, and so are sets.
let me explain it like this
let us say that you are fighting Mob A who has 3 skills, Mob A is killed after its 5 turns...
legend N = norm attack, 1=skill 1, 2=skill 2, 3=skill 3
1st time fighting Mob A
N-1-2-3-N
2nd time fighting Mob A
N-2-3-1-N
3rd time fighting Mob A
1-3-N-N-2

and so on and forth, different combinations...
what i meant was that the 1st fight you had with mob A might be set 1 of the pattern it was programmed and so on...
i got this theory that you can't make a mob do random attacks when programming it... but you can set countless of different patterns of attacks. but surely, It's not actually countless... There might be more or less 5 sets per Mobs... and so... Once I reach the level cap of Chiyosen (lvl65, exp 88%), I will proceed to proving my theory. I will first proceed to farming in Nisel mountain...

 

actually you can program randomness.
programming many different patterns for each mob takes lot of data and you need to program a counter to cycle the patterns.

randomness is easier, you set an array of skills and one of them will be chosen at random.
setting the same skill multiple times will make it get used more often.

repeated patterns might be the effect of the RNG.
using the same value twice will have the same result, that's how RNGs work.
if the Seed isn't reset, the results will repeat eventually, creating patterns.
