Justify Pacify

I don't know if it was always this rampant, but I don't remember pacification being just as annoying as heavy back when the Lightning Returns event was out. Is this a bug or something? Because I was fate grinding today as a WAR and I had no aggro on Gavial, and guess what happened? I was pacified for no reason. It happens damned near constantly without warning. No damage, no attack aimed at me, battle log says nothing. There is literally no cause for pacify, it's like it just some shit attempt at making tanking harder.

It doesn't. What is it, some faux neurological disease that effects the minds of tank classes? Why do we just stop all skills for 5 hair-pullingly-annoying seconds? If anything it manages my TP for me, for hell's sake. And if that's what the purpose of it is, get rid of it SE. Stop doing pointless shit.

Whut? If you're talking about Warrior specifically, Berserk gives Pacify, why does it make sense? Because it boosts your Damage by quite a lot. Theres a downside to using it, it's a trade off. if you dont want pacify, then they'd probably weaken berserk.

If you're talking about pacify even if you havnt used berserk, it could be certain mob actions? your post is hard to tell what you're talking about

Gives you 120 TP while you wait.

Dude, you need to read the tool tip for Berserk -_- It causes pacify after it's effect for 5 seconds.

I figured it was because pretty much every other berserk type action in FF games leaves you unable to control your character.. Would be a little hard to just have a tank unable to do anything for 20 sec.. So yea, 5 sec is a fair trade off lol

Justification: you need to pacify yourself after going berserk to think and act properly.

If I remember right healers could just ensuna or leeches it right off so you never have to wait

Well you're the pointless one. Make sure you read the skill description first before blame anything.

You're probably right about the mob actions. I wasn't using full rotations nor have I ever reached berserk on random world mobs at a lower level than me. This happens on my GLD as well, so maybe I'm just unlucky. Whatever mob actions are causing it aren't even showing up on my battle log and its pretty irritating. I'll just use my NIN when doing non instanced content. Never happens then.
