On Pup, I was standing literally the other side of the arena from the mob, spamming my maneuvers, and running into Repair Range, which is thankfully far away from the NM's huge ugly AOE spam. That mob really spams AOE, and big awful horribleness everwhere. As I ran in to use Repair, I kept thinking "wow this would be impossible on Bst now."

Obviously the answer to that is "don't do that fight on Bst, do it on another job." But it is the Last Mission battle, maybe a person wants to finish the storyline on their main job, for the memories. I was lucky because my main is PUP, and I could hide in the corner the whole time.
The final fight is a terrible example to use with regards to BST and distance, however I think her attacks are largely conal breath attacks, I dual boxed the final fight with 4 trusts and positioned it so only I was facing the mob and most of the time my trusts didn't take damage, I think there was an AoE move in there but it certainly wasn't constant AoE damage.
