Yeah, and I think it "worked" on normal birds in misareaux coast but I didn't test it extensively on them. It seemed like I was evading a lot more for a lvl 80 something mob. I'll have to try it again facing away so I can't block with shield and see if damage is lower or not.
Edit:
Okay, after trying it out again I can confirm it does work on some (most) mobs. Definitely worked on birds. Used it several times facing away and noticed lower acc and damage from them. Never "missed" so it's not a case of it landing or not. Next I tried some mobs in Abyssea. It worked on normal rabbits there and on Marvin. Also used it on Akash though I'm not sure he counts as an NM. Again, in all cased the ability landed every time.
After that I decided to try more VW NMs. Attempted to use it on Pil again, this time with a different shield to make sure it wasn't something to do with Aegis. The SP still had no noticeable effect no matter how many times I used it. Next I tried Goji, but in hindsight this was probably pointless since I think his attacks are always magical since he's always flying. At anyrate, his accuracy didn't seem to change at all when I used it on him, for whatever it's worth. Finally I tried it on Cherufe in Batallia Downs. To my amazement it actually freaking worked on him/her/it. After use it wiffed most of its TP moves and melee swings, those that landed did far less damage.
I attempted to test the ability in Legion as well, in hall of An, but it was difficult considering I was being smashed to bits by the other 2 NMs. Near as I could tell it had no effect as with Pil since none of Lofty NM I hit with the SP wiffed or did less damage in the 4 seconds I survived after using it after several attempts.
So there's either a bug, or some NM ( like Pil and anything in Legion) have stats that are so high it doesn't make any difference if they're lowered or not.
