I did full Devotion and full Shellra V. Protectra V just isn't powerful enough in my opinion to make it worth meriting, and now that the game isn't all Abyssea all the time, Devotion is much more appealing again.

I also did regen potency instead of cure cast time, but I am an odd-ball like that.

It boils down on how you're gonna do the fight
Short fight/zerg type => no need to care about enmity => go 4 hit

Otherwise, why would you want to kill yourself faster?

Well in most content besides VW outside Abyssea that's about how it goes. My question was more if a 4 hit would be a 5 hit though, because I know in some x-hit builts (like WAR for example), the increase in WS frequency still isn't worth it.

1/5 Protectra V is 5 Def more than Protecta IV. I'm happy with my 5/5 Devotion 5/5 Shellra.

It's a convenience issue, not about the defense rating.

Thank You Radec.

How is it more convient to cast pro 5 over 4?

It's simpler to cast Protectra 5 once compared to Protect 5 six times.

[shen]

Then just do 4 >.> its only 5 def is what they're saying. Or Accession it most the time.

[Cairthenn]

So cast Protectra IV.

[Atoreis]

It's simpler to cast Protectra 5 once compared to Protect 5 six times.

I think you need to read more carefully.. Protectra IV not 6x protect V is what they are saying from start.

[Prothescar]

Accession Protect V.

Anyway to run windower with the test server?

[Galattea]

Can anyone point me towards a good COR 101? Debating lvling it but I know absolutely nothing about it or ranged jobs in general, asides from basic stuff. Virtually 0 Marksmanship Skill, if it matters. Would love a good xml as well, if anyone got one handy or can indicate one.

Thanks in advance, any help is much appreciated.

Any way to run windower with the test server?

* Open Test server client
* Open Windower
* Log in to Test Server client on mule
* Log in to windower on main
* Click "Final Fantasy XI" on Mule
* Click "Final Fantasy XI" (not shortcut) on Main
* Get lucky
* The Test Server option should appear on both screens.

@COR Quick Draw MAcc is based on marksmanship skill, so you'll want to skill that up

[Cairthenn]

Open two instances of Windower. Enter login details and get to the screen for connect on both (I'm uncertain if both accounts need to be valid). The second instance you opened should be the one you want to log into the test server with. Connect the first instance, and about a second later connect the second instance. The test server button should appear in that instance as though you launched the test client.

As a warning, your mouse becomes ..stuck in the window unless you Alt-Tab out, is the best way to put it I guess. It's buggy, but workable..

Guess I was beaten. But, as a notice, you don't need to use the Test Server client at all.
