I think VL getting glitched has something to do with the amount of members inside, because I tried to duo with a friend a few days before the patch, and we got it down to about 2/5ths health in the first 5 minutes and then it started destroying us, and we eventually left.
Edit: Another theory ive heard is that the bosses stop attacking if you can maintain a certain amount of DPS on them. This might explain why they're unglitched for 1-2 people, but when you go with 3-4 they get glitched.
@above, Zakum always spams 1/1 and cancel on me when I solo o.o
Haven't zakked with multiple people since chaos, but czak still gets glitched post v1.00 as well, i went yesterday.
You can still just cast puppet(or, in my case, mirrored target) twice, and then afk at all major bosses.
i've been VLing a lot lately, i don't think it's the DPS, i think it's the amount of people attacking, if i have 2 persons attacking him at all times, he does animations, but appart from teleport, none go through, however if only one person is attacking, anything VL does will work. so best strategy is to bring three persons, and have they use buffs one at a time, i've tested this with different damages and chars, and it seems that as long as 2 people are attacking while he does an animation, it simply won't work.
weird stuff though, because i believe it doesn't work with the empress, might have to do with the length of the animation perhaps? another thing i found out is that VL killed a member of my party, and he stopped attacking after my beholder hit him, but when the person VL killed reentered the map, he aggro'd to him an started attacking, until beholder hit him once again, maybe monsters can only "target" one char, and switch targets every hit they receive or something?
