I know people will shoot me for mentioning this, but in FFXIV, when you raise up, you are invulnerable for a few seconds *as long as you don't use an ability* (which will drop the protection early). 10 seconds is a long time though, even for FFXI. Personally I'd be happy if I simply couldn't get wrecked before I even finish animating, because it honestly looks really bad visually the way it happens.
