Pacification does it work on bosses?

Of course, as it stands, Awareness is currently bugged such that it prevents any ability used on you to be a critical, which means that your healers can't crit heal you. Since the effects a healer uses on you that can score a critical hit make up nearly 100% of their output whereas the effects that a boss uses that can score a critical hit are only a small proportion of their total output, you pretty much never want to use Awareness since it will almost always do more harm than good (especially if your healer is a SCH; Adloq crits are *amazing*)

Wow thank you, this was really helpful information, especially about awareness. I think I read something about that.. isn't there a plan to fix awareness?

I haven't seen anything about PLD changes for 2.1, which would likely be the soonest that they will fix Awareness if they *are* fixing it, nor have I seen anything from the devs specifically referencing Awareness.

I'm quite curious if the devs are going to be changing PLD at all in 2.1; some of the WAR changes (e.g. global enmity increase in Defiance) seem really strange unless the devs are also applying similar changes to PLDs (e.g. increasing enmity generation in Shield Oath) as part of a reworking of that portion of the tanking subgame.
