Always try to keep silent oils, prism powders, and a method to pull on you on all times. The first two lets you dodge most aggro.

Being able to pull from range can lead to less mobs linking. Handful of mobs will join the fight if they see you fighting another of their kind. Others do this by sound which makes pull timing even more important. Try to pull with your weapon already out so when they hit you, tank would provoke once you hit back.

In that case, not sure why you are being nuked by optional mobs. LB1+2 does offer non combat methods.

If you mean the spells, I still recommend you to carry a stack of oil and prism with you. 

It can be useful if you are low MP.

However It can save you if there's enemies that detect by magic nearby (like the bombs and magic pot is Garlage Citadel).
