Protocol for in-depth Quick Draw test

[Spider-Dan]

I thought up this test a while ago, but I haven't been able to corral the people necessary to execute it. Maybe someone here will have better luck.

Bring the following to Ballista (Diorama would probably be easier for testing):

COR
BRD
RNG, THF, WAR, or DRK with xbow and acid bolts
BLM or RDM/BLM
NIN or /NIN with Kawahori-Ogi tools
a victim

Record all of the following stats of the victim before you start:

VIT
DEF
Earth resistance
Ice resistance

Now land the following four debuffs on the victim:

Choke
acid bolt effect
Earth Threnody
Huton (Ichi with /NIN will work, as wheel debuff effect is unresistable)

Quickly record the four stats (VIT DEF Earth Ice) of the victim, then, while all four debuffs are still active, fire a Wind Shot at the target. Immediately record all four stats once more. (Make sure to have the victim close and reopen the equipment screen before each stat record, as you must do so in order to refresh the stats.) This portion would be simplified immensely if the victim has a program (e.g. FRAPS) capable of screenshotting his equipment screen, as he could simply close gear, open gear, Print Screen and avoid all human error.

If you were so inclined, you could even do the last step again with COR AF hat equipped, just to see how much difference it actually makes.

if Staff + QD works , that would give COR a little something they can do during HNM battle I suppose. Ice shot + ice staff to boost mages' paralyze on faf/nid for example would be kinda neat.
