It seems to not work on non-?? mobs.

For those that claim praying to the mobs themselves is what killed them, do you know that there was not somebody praying to the marks at the same time? I ask this because we created a LS on Balmung for this purpose, and praying to the mobs themselves (even mass praying and timed praying) had no effect at all. Things changed as soon as I started praying to the marks.
I suppose you went all round Eorzea praying to all 12 shrines... or did you just pray to the two ones at Uldah? The other ones that are easier to get to with just a teleport are the shrines at Gridania and Limsa Lominsa, the rest needs some travelling and worse... clearing of mobs. Maybe I'll try just the two at Uldah should those ?? mobs appear.
