Pacification: Ineffective on NPCs?

[Velthice]

Enemies will still show a cast bar while under pacification, but if the cast completes before the pacification debuff goes away, nothing happens. I base this off of countless dungeon runs and solo tanking ifrit hm. Any further insight is welcomed.

Yep, this is what I've noticed as well. Pacification makes it so a Weaponskill cannot be used. An enemy can't start a cast of one, and if they already have, it will continue to cast as normal, but will cancel omit the debuff is there when finished (ifrit hm's exploding plume skill with cracks, but not the one with circles)
