Conditions for Mamool Ja to drop thier weapons.

[Marajade]

So i'm doing Imperial Agent Rescue. And normaly the WHM mobs are quite reliable in trowing thier weapons and breaking the door down. But today, out of two of them, BOTH of them have suddenly "dropped" thief staff at like, 99% HP.
Are there conditions? Or wtf is up?

When I did it today, we waited for the mage to cast an AOE, Banishga something broke it for us. Throwing the weapon does not, I believe, because the first WHM mob we fought tossed the weapon and we meleed it down (NIN RDM BLM WHM BRD, lol, Hardly a good melee team) to 0, with it Cure V'ing 4 times. I believe you have to wait for a -ga spell.

no, "Stave Toss" the WS instantly breaks the door if it hits it.
but sometimes they'll do this wierd pose, and the staff will be gone.

Some spells mess with mob weapons. Trolls and Lamia lose thiers as well when casting certain spells.

Seems pretty random to me. This is the only assault I've done, and I have done it every possible chance I get since the 2nd or 3rd day of the expansion release. We've had days where the WHM's just put the staff away for no reason. I kept it silenced the whole time, and just suddenly *poof* it's gone. Can't really say there is a pattern to it, though one time it threw it in my face rather than the door as it was running in, because I dispelled too early. That was emarassing. :16suspect1:
