Pacification

[Alahra]

Any advice on how to tell if a certain enemy skill is not affected by pacify?

While doing daily hunts on PLD I noticed there are some monsters that have skills with castbar that still go off even if they are pacified.
I always thought if they can be pacified, they can only use auto attacks. Is this not the case?

Pacify doesn't work on magical monster attacks so some of those are probably getting through because they're magical.
