				COR is a poor choice of sub, explained it before and won't bother again.
Phantom Roll is a Job Ability not a Spell, hence /COR gives offensive Wyvern type.
I had a party, NOT in the mire. Me RDM/WHM, 3 melee/NIN, a BRD/NIN, a DRG/SAM. The DRG/SAM took 60% of the Cures but was neither a MP sponge nor a problem. As /WAR he would have been both.
Sounds like that DRG wasn't using his/her Jumps properly. I've always gone /WAR and I rarely take any beatings.

No, remember all the rest were /NIN with Ni available.  They take little damage.  Also remember that when a mob wipes a shadow, hate is lost.  When Sawhatever and 3rd eye kicks in just right, you counter.  End result, DRG was usually hate leader with less damage avoidance than the /NINs.
Like I said, he was not a problem at all, I didn't even Convert as often as once in 1/2 hour.

				Bah, hate loss from Utsusemi is minimal at best. He wasn't watching his hate but with 2 forms of hate and damage mitigation he didn't really need to.

That answered my questions.
Tossing the /Cor idea.

				Question,
If I buy the 360 Version of FFXI, since I can't get a copy that looks as good for the PS3. Can the username/password I create for the console, work on a PC as well? I like the idea of the ease of the console, but at the same time I want the flexibility of being able to log in on the PC just the same. Could anyone confirm for me if this is possible?

				Yes, you can log onto a PC version of the game using a PS2/360 Username and Password and vice versa.  
I play on PS2 mostly now, but I started with PC and its still the same Username and Password.

				Thanks,
I am leaning to picking it up for Xbox360 since it is the hands down best looking version, and playing on my PC when I don't feel like sitting on my couch and playing.
