I love your rune fencer guides. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and not being elitist. And your guides on the various wikis are wonderful. Clear goals supported by info on how to achieve those goals. Synergy at a high level. Wonderful work, thank you for your time and effort!
Something I forgot to mention is that Samurai sub murders your casting and recasting timers, which isn’t good for Flash/Foil/Stun etc. Also, my augment paths on Adhemar for Resolution are... Adhemar Bonnet +1 on B Path (STR/DEX/ATT) Adhemar Jacket +1 on B Path (STR/DEX/ATT) Adhemar Wrist. +1 on B Path (STR/DEX/ATT)
Duh! lol. I was in a CP party a couple days ago to open darkness for COR and subbed SAM. I thought the RDM straight up wasn't Hasting me becaues Flash's recast was so long. I always forget Hasso screws casting/recasting timers. The CP party I went /WAR (I know, I know, I'm finishing up my /DRK lol), which explains why recasts seemed so much faster.
Recently found your channel and I'm really impressed by your easy to understand guides. Is there any way you could do a Ranger guide? There is a massive hole in current information for this job and most info offered is aimed at people who already have multiple RMEA. Please!
Before I quit, I tried making a straight DD set for my RUN since I have Lionheart, but for whatever reason, my Resolution damage came nowhere close to the numbers you're putting out. Sadly, I was never able to figure out what I was doing wrong despite my best efforts to research the problem, and my LS at the time sort of "fired" me and told me to just come GEO or come PUP to tank things with.
To be fair, I never considered using DRK as a sub. I was always /WAR or /SAM. The problem was my WS set as it was very lacking in WSD+ augments. My TP set had about +70 STP, with strong accuracy augments and some Triple/Quadruple attack augments, so I didn't have an issue with accuracy or TP accumulation.
RUN has the highest natural Great Sword skill in the game. This is a feasible option, but you gotta do it right or you're dead. Lionheart and Epeo are the big ones, but an addendum would be Helheim (Stage 3 Minimum). This thing slaps. Hard.
Worth to mention that if you use Embolden for Temper with you set, the duration will be 90 sec, which is kinda short and only useful for very short zergs. Imo, if you want to use Embolden for Temper, you might want to use Relic+3 legs, JSE cape and Erilaz head +1. It will be 30% DA isntead of 37% DA, but for... actually idk for how long lol. I don't know exact interaction with +enhancing magic duration on gear and Embolden duration on jse cape with - 50% duration on Embolden itself. Only started working on RUN and don't have those items.
To be honest, ever since I got the Epeo and the Lionheart I have never pulled out the Aettir. Save for once when I did some testing with Lunge/swipe. But even then I found the Aettir was doing less damage even with it Lunge+10 stat. It was alway 2k to 5k less then the Epeo and the Lionheart. I’m pretty sure it’s because the Aettir doesn’t have any magic damage+ trait on it. I really don’t see a point on keeping it, once you you get the Epeo, unless you are really starved for ACC. I was really surprised at the numbers I was getting when bursting lunge tho. Was hitting 50k lunges and 12k swipes with the Agwu set and as much MAB I could find the the gear I already had. Going to make a MAB ambu cape, get the body from the vampire in SR and the Mujin band from dyna windy to see the numbers I can get then.
Just dropped 199 million gil into rune fencer gear.... thanks Rua.... >.> :P On a serious note, Great guide. I would change like two things overall gear wise but that is completely play style related and heavy on the aug stats and situations. 12 days til Epeo! ^^
So i hit 99 with my RUN and i'm leveling my magic levels to max now + some merit farming. I remember 2 kickass NM (elemental and fish) in the RUN AF quest. Can you solo/trust them now or is it better to get some pet-job-friend?
I just finished my Lionheart last night, so I'm working out the kinks in my DD TP/WS gear sets. I was looking at the STP requirements to get to 4-hit vs 5-hit and what sacrifices would be required. My plan was 5-hit like you suggest, but that made me wonder about your choice to use Kentach +1 vs Ioskeha NQ/HQ. With /SAM and the loadout you listed it looks like it'd still be shy of the necessary STP for 4-hit (IIRC somewhere ~5 STP or more required from where it currently stands), so it'd require sacrificing some multi-hit pieces or ACC. Since that doesn't seem preferable (and SAM roll would more than compensate), does the Ioskeha make more sense than Kentarch since the additional 5 STP doesn't push through to next threshold?
I'd like to recommend creating a PDT WS set for when you're quite busy tanking and will die if you swap to a WS set, like in the MT fights. Also you never mentioned shockwave for AoE hate, as it's an instant AoE hate tool that doesn't have the global delay associated with magic use.
Same. I played it religiously when I was a kid before WoW came out, but never really got into it on a deep level. 15 years later I still watch videos, but I feel I'd have to invest so much time just to get back to where I was that it's not worth picking back up :(
hey love the content of your videos but i cant watch them because of the intense mouth noises in the recording. hope the feed back is received well not trying to be rude :D

Nicely done Rua. Really well put together. I just recently picked up rune and I can’t wait to put it to use like this. :)

Your videos are the best! Thanks for what you do

Can’t quite tell what gear you mentioned at 14:10. What were they?
Before I quit, I tried making a straight DD set for my RUN since I have Lionheart, but for whatever reason, my Resolution damage came nowhere close to the numbers you're putting out.

Ken Martin wow that’s sad to hear

That's actually good, because you shouldn't use WSD for resolution.
“RUA here!” Love your guides, and voice. You should do some FFXI ASMR!
Is there updated version of this with the new gear that's out? Cause man, some that new gear is crazy good.
Is drk still the same good subjob for rune?
RUN has the highest natural Great Sword skill in the game. This is a feasible option, but you gotta do it right or you're dead. Lionheart and Epeo are the big ones, but an addendum would be Helheim (Stage 3 Minimum). This thing slaps. Hard.
How strong would Ethereal Earring + Raetic Algol be for non-REMA? I have the third tier of the Ambu GS, but I definitely want Raetic Algol ASAP.
Isn't better to use Futhark Trousers +1 or Erilaz Galea +1 for enhancing magic duration instead of +enhancing skill?
Quick question, why use the Erilaz +1 helm for your tanking set, when it has no -DT/PDT/MDT on it? Is it for the HP + set bonus with the legs+feet?
Worth to mention that if you use Embolden for Temper with you set, the duration will be 90 sec, which is kinda short and only useful for very short zergs.

oO5 Dead Clockz Epeo is well worth it, it completely changes the playstyle
I can't wait. Like a kid before christmas. Alt will get his Idris at the same time. Will definitely be a grand day!
I miss my RUN/BLU. It was fun to farm magic pots in sky, and take little to no dmg from ancient magic.
The gripe I have with epeo is it doesn't help on most high end content. This is because majority of damage is magical now.
Spaitin a valid point but I still prefer Epeo’s hate generation. Magic damage is why I recommended keeping the Aettir
The enmity is nice on it I must say. In a pure tanking set to high end content I find it is purely a macro piece
So i hit 99 with my RUN and i'm leveling my magic levels to max now + some merit farming. I remember 2 kickass NM (elemental and fish) in the RUN AF quest. Can you solo/trust them now or is it better to get some pet-job-friend?
Mihrey / Nylene pretty easy with some trust npc honestly
@@SplitFinn I'll give it a try. Was just remembering them as a pain.

Finaaaaalllllyyyyyyyyyy!!!!
Hey hoss, what are your thoughts on Bidenhander?
oO5 Dead Clockz its a midway weapon that tries to do what Aettir and Montante do but comes short
/toss lol thanks. Didn't feel like taking it out for a spin having the Montante +1 already and the Aettir. Inv +1 yes, please!
I wonder if it is possible to make a GEO into good DD? Great vid btw :D
do you have twitch ?
Al_dhaheri 911 nah but it’s something I can look into
finally !
Good guide. The only thing I noticed was the pronunciation of "pflug." It's a German word and pronounced "floog".
Excellent guide I'm half tempted to go RUN over PLD now
Just half? It's the better tank in most cases.
I'd like to recommend creating a PDT WS set for when you're quite busy tanking and will die if you swap to a WS set, like in the MT fights. Also you never mentioned shockwave for AoE hate, as it's an instant AoE hate tool that doesn't have the global delay associated with magic use.
I miss this game soooo much.

Come on back. I did after around 10 years away, and it’s still great!
hey love the content of your videos but i cant watch them because of the intense mouth noises in the recording. hope the feed back is received well not trying to be rude :D
Paladin is the best and only tanl!
