An odd mole in Kurns

[jballe3]

Hello. So, I've been waiting for an odd mole, trying to catch him spawning over the past few days (not consistently). I was finally able to catch him spawn at approximately 10:05 am EST on 22 June. I immediately engaged him. He was down to about 15-20% and he despawned. Is this supposed to happen? I know he's not up for a long time, but I don't think he should be despawning after he's been engaged.

Also, I do realize there have been other posts regarding this mob spawn. Some clarification would be appreciated.

I've heard of this happening before, and I don't think its correct. If a mob is engaged in combat, he/she shouldn't ever despawn, right?

mobs can definitely despawn while engaged in combat. the undead gnolls in EK for example.

if there are classic posts on alla complaining about him despawning while engaged, what more is there to discuss?

You are correct, after doing a little research on alla, old posts indicate he can despawn while engaged. My mistake

When I was killing this guy he poofed before I could finish him off. Do you have to kill him within a certain time limit? The first time I soloed him and he poofed, the second time A level 60 Enchanter buffed me up and he still poofed. That was at level 26 or around there, should I bring a group with me to kill it faster?
