You shouldn’t HAVE TO use ACT to tell how much combined mitigation is used against an attack WHEN THE GAME COLLECTS THIS INFORMATION, it just won’t show it to you
My dude what are you on, share some, please. The game tells you how much damage you take in the Battle Log which is by default available.

What ACT does, it collects that information and then interprets the data collected via formulas. You would obtain the exact same result if you pooled everything into an Excel spreadsheet and then calculated everything yourself. (which is what ACT is as at a crude rudimentary level)
Base ACT and fflogs are automation tools making everything a lot more accessible.
