You know it would be awesome if Shield Swipe wasn't a complete waste of TP and pacification actually worked on any boss. I mean hell if you don't want to let pacification work on a boss, CHANGE IT TO SOME OTHER DEBUFF.

What a useless ability...

Furthermore, It is really confusing in this game sometimes to be able to deduce the differences between a stun and a silence, For example, why do stuns work on some magical abilities where as silence against that same ability not work and vice versa.

It isn't intuitive at all...
