Thoughts on Runefencer

Shell was up, and I don't have any dmg +/- gear for run what-so-ever.

Just an unlucky poor resist?

Most likely this. Shell gives a straight -MDT but the rest just increases your ME and like +evasion the monster still has a change to hit. If the monster got lucky and rolled a natural 20 then your just gonna eat the damage.

This happened to me twice in a row when fighting bombs in Halvung. I had been there a couple of hours doing earth trial and had got complacent. Didn't quite manage to get a ward off after TP move hit big before the spell hit for 900.

To be honest, I'm disappointed in both of the new jobs, more so in GEO than RUN, but the major problems I see are these: Status effect and Debuffs like Rasp, Chock, and Drown still working far to well even with Pflug and Bar-spells. There's No Barlight or Bardark in the game, and I don't want them to be merits... That's lame and there are far better ideas that should be merited. Most Mobs cast multiple elements and having 1 rune of a certain element isn't even remotely effective. Foil is extremely under-effective. I'm also sad that the Liement ability isn't get a time reduction, as it needs it majorly.

One of my theories as to why the elemental resist is being increased today for Runes is for this reason. Unfortunately, and I hope my other theory is wrong, because that is: They were planning to give us an empy piece to allow us 4 Runes, but decided against it so are boosting the 3 we have now instead.

Possible that these may be boosted through AF, Relic, Empy or merits, but we'll have to wait and see.

4 Rune would have been unlike seeing how no other job gets more than 3 of those special buffs: PUP, BRD, COR, etc... But it would be amazing if they did. But I think there needs to be a JA that can convert all active rune to 1 type, with like a 1min recast timer: If you only have 2 runes up, then those rune transfer to whichever is the next element you use.

Foil might suck too because my Enhancing skill is far from capped, it's like 280...

>_> Naturally BRD doesn't get 4 spells, and that's a whole helluva lot of work for it. Even with NIN's shoes for Utsusemi boost isn't as bad as any of the EMP weapon trials. RUN follow after PUP more-so than it does BRD anyway.

Well we were talking about with a piece of Emp gear that RUN would get that extra Rune, so it makes sense that naturally is not a factor.
