In case meriting protectra V wasn't bad enough...

by spending half your life in dyna on whm to get 20k exp

Now now, let's not exaggerate. You can get 20k EXP in Dyna in all of 10 days.

However, to anyone who decides (foolishly enough) to waste merits in Protectra V... I say this:

Light Arts -> Accession -> Protect V

I've probably only done dyna ~10 times since these trials came out, so that is half my life, lol

However, to anyone who decides (foolishly enough) to waste merits in Protectra V...

Now I'm one to talk, since for the longest time I was adamant that Protectra V merits are useless. But recently, since Devotion isn't really used as much, and the changes make it so you can put one merit in Devotion or Martyr and get the full timer, I've recently changed my merits to 1/5 Protectra, 1/5 Martyr, 3/5 Devotion.

Honestly, I don't think Accession Protect V is really worth the extra MP over a Protectra IV even (and it really bugs me when people would ask for what is essentially 5 extra defense, since anyone asking doesn't have a receives effect gear), so I don't really know that this is really "good" but I think it should be put another way... is it "bad"?

I don't think it is bad considering that you can now have Devotion, Martyr, and even a Protectra Merit while still having those ten minute timers. I don't think it is particularly good, but I don't rely on Devotion as much as I used to. Maybe if I started working on a Devotion build with the AF2 piece that boosts that I would change it back, but I don't feel particularly foolish for changing it for now.
