Usually messes up the mechanics and wipe the party.

Yah some pushes, like Titan EX phase changing when boulders fall, can make it difficult to surivive and some, like Ifrit EX, cause the mob to insta-enrage.

Like Halicarnassus. That boss has HP threshold-based phases too - every 20%, I believe. 80% the Ahriman thingie, 60% the double Succubi, 40% Lady Amandine. If you make the boss reach I think 30% (or maybe 20%, can't remember) before bringing down the add, she'll absorb her instantly - that usually causes a wipe because she can't be DPS'd down fast enough, so you get full damage from Blood Rain. I never found that out till it happened and we were all like what the heck just happened. So yeah, as many already said phase skipping could either be beneficial or detrimental depending on both the fight and how it's done.
