Shield swipe

[Valmar]

What, exactly, is the "Pacification" effect? I swear I've never seen it appear to actually do anything, when I use Shield Swipe. At least, nothing I've ever noticed.

When a Mob is Pacified it cannot use any abilities, if it is alrdy casting a spell or ability the move will not go off if it is affected with Pacify at the time it finishes the cast

however there is an exception to the rule, certain mobs like the Dira in CT can be affected by Pacification but it does nothing to stop their spells and abilities. I'm not sure if this is a bug or some kind of oversight that no ones ever cared to ask a Dev about.
