This NM can be agro'ed by a pet using AOE move. As Beastmaster, my pet used Sheepsong and agro'ed NM, allowing me and my party to claim NM. Not sure if AoE moves from spells work as well.
Can confirm AoE spells do work, Just popped on me after being hit with Actinic Burst while farming the pop item for the Witchstone NM was a very unpleasant surprise --Kohki 06:32, November 18, 2010 (UTC)
