Rune Fencer Findings

[dasva]

Axes might be a good choice. Ruinator works good in low att situations. Especially considering the gear selection

[Jem]

Figured as much but just wanted to look into it.

Bit of a bummer because the low attack of runefencer leaves resolution quite a bit subpar seeming for WS's and it seems like they are struggling for other options. No empyrean/relic/mythic WS's and limited weapon options that are useable by rune outside of Greatswords just kinda hurts.

Dual Axes and Ruinator is an option for when low attack hinders Resolution. RUN's B- skill and meh-ish Axe selection shouldn't be an issue because Ruinator is a ridiculous WS.

Thanks for the suggestion, wasn't something I had really looked at before but it seems like it could be a good option for times that you are playing a run/nin.

Man this game has changed so much RUN can get 2 of the axes below off the AH for ruinator spam is just crazy it will just get better...

Aalak' Axe +1
[Main] All Races
DPS: 1623 DMG:76 Delay:281 STR+7 Accuracy+6 Attack+11 Pet: "Double Attack"+3%
LV 99 WAR DRK BST RNG RUN

I wish they hurry up and change the merit ws so 1 pt gives a 65% mod....

[dasva]

And check out the 91 dmg axe... but yeah if you put 1 merit in it even after the update you will probably be even more disappointed then you are with resolution now lol

Embolden description is wrong: It's not spells cast by you, but spells cast ON you. Used Embolden, a PLD friend gave me Protect V, and... Voilà! 262 extra defense.

Did it wear off?

Nice Find. Just had my SCH alt cast adloquium on me with with embolden up. Embolden wore, and I've got 1.5/tick regain. lol

Now does it work with embrava lol. God would've been funny with old embrava

[Darkmagi]

Haha, could still be pretty neat with gimpbrava if it does work.

I'll check via the refresh in a sec. Don't feel like testing haste.

EDIT: well, it made Embolden wear off. But I'm only getting 5/tick refresh. Not gonna test haste, but I'd say it probably doesn't work. I think it did reduce the duration though. <,<

Psh all you gotta do is cast RR for haste!!! Bet it does since it works with haste spell. Then again it works with refresh . What about lol regen?

It occurs to me that in everyone's hurry to proclaim Rdm dead because of Run, we might've missed that Run and Rdm might have pretty good synergy. Specifically with Refresh and Phalanx II. Phalanx II with Embolden could be pretty awesome if it works.

Doesn't Run get Phalanx I of its own and have close to same enhancing skill as RDM (sans gear bonuses)? I mean its nice, but the synergy isn't as large as say phalanx II on a FC war

You'd get the benefit of longer Emboldened Phalanxs though because merits/RDM's AF bonuses? 4 Mins base at 5/5. 40 seconds from AF2+2 Gloves. 30% from AF3+2 boots + AF3 cape. 20-30% more from AF3+2 set bonus (Wiki mentions the bonus capping at 50%?). So however that interacts along with Emboldens penalty.

Not a massive bonus but a bonus nonetheless!

I know it's LOL Abyssea, but I put on Ultimate and Beyond Atma's and MB with Ice Lunge was doing 4300+. I can see this being abused easily on NM's. Put 12 RUN's in a party, initiate Distortion/Darkness Skillchain then all RUN's Ice Lunge for 50K+ damage. I am sure SE will figure this out and place an elemental resistance fix on Lunge if it doesn't already.

[Darkmagi]

Hardly worth the effort, considering that you could get the same results with heavy DD, or BLM even.

I don't really see that being much of a problem... I mean shit every nuking job can MB waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than that in abyssea

Yeah but I mean who fully merits phalanx II when Phalanx 1 is stronger at lower skill lvls and the same at higher... hell who brings rdm to stuff lol?

[Kyte]

You'd probably get more of a benefit out of T2 enfeebles and Emboldened Protect V or whatever. Not that the enfeebles are completely mutually exclusive, but 5/5 Phalanx implies that you're skimping out on something.
