Rune Fencer 2nd new job

[Kitkat]

How about not requiring an item for the use of Runes? Make it an ability. Just saying.

I'd have to agree with this idea. Possibly make it a charge system similar to how Dnc works. Use of lower tier runes give access to higher more potent runes or specific actions/ws charge abilities of the rune fencer that can be unlocked as the charges build up.

Thinking of having another job that relies on disposable items (such as tools, bolts/bullets/arrows, or cards) really stresses the players given current inventory issues limiting how adaptable multiple jobs can be in different scenarios since the need for space to hold these disposable items can be daunting (even with the specialty card/tools eventually made). I would much rather see some type of ability charge system rather than another job that needs disposable items. Camate could you please stress this to devs if at all possible?

What I had in mind, perhaps activating Runes could be similar to a scholar using ARTS/Stratagems with the different Runes falling under different Tomes.

This is actually what I was picturing when they said that Runic Knight would be using runes instead of MP. JAs that stack similar to stratagems and you can adjust your defensive or offensive line-up based upon the runes you currently have active. In essence, utilizing runes like stratagems that don't dissipate upon first use (except in certain situations). Oh, and the 2hr will likely be either magic damage does 0 damage for 30 sec a-la Magic defense paladin, or unlimited rune use for 30 sec a-la Tabula Rasa unlimited stratagems.

Or 30 second absorb magic dmg a-la Celes Chere.

Rune's will be consumable items similar to ninja tools. Just watch.

I'm going to be the half-dozenth person to say that if Rune Fencer uses items, there should be a universal item available the very first day the job is playable. Not a year later, now that the Development Bros have decided universal tools are cool, but the very first day. There's no reason for dalliance on something so simple.

They might do it in the form of said item grants a temporary buff, there could be no way for a universal item like that.

thank you for making my merlot induced sloth more enjoyable

I'm throwing in my vote for leaving consumable items out of the picture. Charges like SCH strategems, BLU set points, or any other similar system that doesn't clog my inventory would be vastly preferable. In fact, if runes do take up inventory, and the expansion does not come with a significant gobbie bag increase, I predict RNF will join RNG as my second job stuck at level 1.

I'm also voting for this job to get Reflect and Celes-Chere-Runic, but only if the job does not use consumables!!!
