I've never digged into how Dancers debuffs work. But since they are "Debuffs" put on mobs, shouldn't they work on "anything" hitting the mob affected by that debuff? Instead I think they work only for people currently in PT with the Dancer? Which sounds lame. But now they work for automatons as well (supposing their master is in the same PT as the Dancer?) sounds good.

Do you know if the "Silence on Mob with MP but no spells" issue has been addressed? Like with Crabs, Colibris etc? It's been solved for Fellows, what about automatons?

What about Enhancement Spells like Protect and Shell, can they be cast on automatons? Probably not the single target ones, but the AoE ones? Do they work on the automaton?

I don't think AOE spells can be cast on autos.
My pet still silences lesser colibri, but thats because the greater colibri do cast magic and SE doesn't want to take the time to fix that for a single mob type I guess.

I've noticed Sambas effect Automatons as well in Campaigns. A NIN/DNC did one of the Drain Sambas (I was not in a party with this ninja). So when he performed the dance and I started hitting the mob nothing happened but when Mao started swinging he started Draining HP! o.O;
