    Please consider nerfing rune fencer/adjusting mevasion

    Rune fencer is a tank that does nearly as much damage as the highest damaging DD in the game(warrior).

    It's nearly immune to status effects, has 81%+ parry for 90 seconds on a 5 minute cooldown and an obscene amount of magic defense tools(shields, aoe shields,etc).

    There's no reason this job should be able to compete with the highest damaging job in the game(warrior) while also being incredibly tanky even in full DD gear.

    People have been, and are now, bringing nothing but Lionheart rune fencers as their only DD jobs to content due to all these strengths and no actual weakness.

    A job being this strong leaves very little room for other jobs to be used or put in the spotlight, and is just intentionally handicapping yourself trying to bring inferior DPS AND less survivable DD jobs

    Please consider nerfing it's damage(take it off resolution?), or drastically lowering the effect of mevasion, which is the major culprit behind rune fencers immunity to most status effects and survivability vs most things.

    Thank you.

    Can agree that RUN shouldn't be as strong as it is, in it's ability to do damage.

    It HAS to be as magically defensive as it is, or it's completely useless.

    They've got RUN and MNK assbackwards. Nerf Resolution. (and buff h2h ws, all of them, by double)

    Mevasion is still a completely broken stat that as we get more and more gear, will become more noticably broken. It needs to be tuned down overall, not just for rune fencer either, for every job.

    Someone had suggested to me that mevasion should never give more than a half resist on damage, and should never give more than 60% resist rate on status effects. I find this the perfect solution.

    That's an over arching problem that they will never fix. Power Creep.

    I'm ok with players being "overly powerful" defensively. It's easier that way... they're just going to make stronger mobs then they'd have to adjust it again.

    It's not ok to have a "tank" be a better "dd" than actual "dd" though, even utility "dd"

    It's funny too, because when RUN came out, as usual, people wanted it to be buffed because comparatively, it couldn't keep up early on. Now it's in a really good spot, which seems to be Shiyo's salt factor, every job that isn't his needs to be nerfed because the meta doesn't want his job.

    Since I guess being on a server with low population makes it harder to make your own parties.

    I never understand why there's even this request. Final Fantasy series has been very well known with abilities to play multi-job, which is always being carried to all series, no exception.

    Maybe OP used to play non FF games where one avatar are locked to just one profession, but this is an FF game. Get used to it!

    And with that being said, I'm against the idea. I love my RUN, especially because my fave heroine from FF6, Celes Chere, has her job profession as Rune Knight.

    This is false.

    Out of every single WoC zerg parse, like, last 20+ zergs or so, warrior was always on top, by at least 20% or more. There are multiple serious DD player with HQ aeonic RUN in LS, none ever come close to WAR.

    In 6 man party (none-zerg) without all 3 support jobs, RUN is even further behind. The job is only really really strong with all 3 support jobs and even then it's not the best.

    It's a great DD tank but a RUN DD tanking in hybrid set isn't going to deal good dmg either, most of the time they are equal/slightly behind COR.

    The job is in a very good spot, that's for sure. But a well played WAR or any 2h DD isn't behind at all. This month we've done 4.5 min VD runs with RUN as DD or WAR, both jobs can clear just as fast and they basically make no difference.

    Personally, I never understand why people keep making claims about RUN beating WAR in zergs. is good WAR really THAT rare? Even if RUN could keep up in 2016 I doubt it could in 2018 anymore. RUN didn't get much DD gears in past 2 years, but almost every other DD did. Most DD in 2018 are a bit stronger than 2016, but RUN kinda stayed the same.
