Targeted mitigation often does not work

[Chopstix]

I can't begin to count the number of times Reprisal has saved a party from wiping, even in dungeons. When you use it and the party survives with 1% health you know that you saved them. Just use it before an aoe cast ends.

It's intentional because some boss casts spawn other entities. If the entity is somewhere else (you can see if an entity spawns in the enemy list), then just use it on something else. You can use area mitigation such as Troubadour, Tactician, Shield Samba, Divine Veil, Passage of Arms, Shake It Off, Dark Missionary, Heart Of Light or any healer mitigation.

At least in old fights, it's not intended to herd the group to use them on different enemies, because not everyone used to have it in the past at least without leveling other jobs to cross-class with.

if u use reprisal too late, it will be not there in time since it is notoriously slow to get applied... the reason u survived by 1% is because there was nothing there

anyroad, DSR p6 with the dragons... i have nothing to use reprisal on until half the fight is done, the first set of cones comes quite literally from the two dragons, but no reprisal does not work, it also does not work on the busters either (thats cause they r coming from some combination of the 12 knights who r nowhere to be seen, makes sense, right?)
