Does anyone know exactly which Voidwatch fights /fume does not work on?

It seems to be all four of the Provenance ones in my experience, but I don't know if any of them "it does work but only every 5 minutes and not 30 seconds even if you have the RoV KI" or something like that.

Supposed to work on everything. I've done it to all 4 in prov.

You have to be tanking, that sometimes causes issues. But i'm not sure about the rov reduction not working correctly

does have to be the person with hate iirc

Huh. I'm usually soloing it and it still didn't seem to work for me... but I'm sure I'm doing something wrong!

Does timing matter (like Abyssea red procs, they can't be midcast?) or something - BG wiki says it doesn't but I never know because I'm very dumb.

also why does one white proc not give me both atmacites in the Provenance fights, it's failed twice now, the second time both Caturae were alive so it wasn't that :(

You gotta proc both of em for the atmacites

Theyre individual mobs both in the fight

Looking for some information on Imperial Defense Values, hoping somebody has more information than what is already provided here as it seems a bit outdated and I like having Temporary Items when Besieged comes around. It seems like the value is linked to Gajaad and Imperial Bronzepieces, however the trade values, and maximums appear incorrect?

Today on Asura we had two Besieged battles.
Before #1, Imperial Defense 137
After: 96
Dropping under 100 removed some temp items from Besieged #2(notably Dusty Wings).
After battle #2, I purchased and traded 300 iBronzepieces to Gajaad, which did not increase our imperial defense at all. I had some friends trade which bumped us up to 112.

I traded 600 additional pieces, and we went from 112 -> 124. Shortly after I traded an additional 600, and it did not change the value.
I waited a bit, and traded 500 more. We went from 126->136. I again got 500 more, traded, and we remained 136.
It's looking like its 50 bronze pieces = 1 Imperial Defense level, but am I missing a maximum trade threshold per game day/per person or something?
