High hopes for this job, despite it's pretty awful name. What are your hopes from the new melee class?
A new breed of tank?

Rune Fencer is a new breed of tank that utilizes elemental and enchanting runes for greater attack and defense. Not only that but Square-Enix has said they have the highest amount of magical defense and elemental resistance than all jobs. Did the count the Aegis when they made the claim? We'll find out soon how well this job will perform.
I wonder if they will have high enmity abilities. Also Enmity should be fixed by then. (I hope)

I wonder if Rune Fencer as a subjob might be a good fit for Paladin? it could help a Paladin without Aegis be able to stand a chance vs heavy Magic casting mobs.
Probably won't be as effective as Aegis...but...
Thoughts?
i wanted blue mage and people complained we already had beast.
i wanted dancer and joked about scholar and look what happened.
i wanted mystic knight and everyone said that was red mage's job
i'll love rune fencer! trusting it will be as great as how they added other past jobs.
i'll have to beg square to expand the magic merits catagory so i can 8/8 it's skill. come on square we got 22 jobs time to expand some catagories again. =D

Samurai Archery is said to be a thing of the past, but it isn't dead yet!
Looking forward to this job. I don't have any heavy tank jobs in this game, and I'm interested to see what they do with Rune Fencer. I was intrigued by GEO, but it could also turn out very disappointing. At least with RNF I have few preconceptions about its abilities.
Supposedly RNF is supposed to be better than PLD at magic tanking. I'd love to see them beat Aegis, but a new job has a lot of potential.
that said, I seriously doubt they'd put all of these useful abilities below 49. It might work marginally better than /RDM for magic dmg tanking, but they're not going to put Aegis-trumping abilities being accessable by a sub. Would kill the job long before it came out (and further screw up the balance of tanking as it is now)
