[Habu]

Good job being wrong

Yep, I will probably end up quiting the game soon. Thank you SE, gave a great reason for me to stop finally!

Rune Fencer, just came across Twitter.

Pretty sure I heard them call it Mahou Kishi in Japanese, which would be Magic Knight or Mystic Knight.

It says Rune Fencer on their website so it's probably not Mystic Knight...

Or they mistranslated it from Rune Knight. Truth be told, the name for the job in Japanese can be translated into (Rune/Runic/Magic) (Knight/Fencer). :/

Or, Heaven forbid, they mistranslated it from Rune Knight. But we all know that these things never happen. Ever.

There is a difference between a Mystic Knight and a Rune Knight. Since the official site says Rune Knight, I'd say it's a safe bet. Either way, kick in the teeth to Red Mages

How is it a kick in the teeth to RDMs? This is suppose to be a tanking job that focuses on defenses against magic. They said so when they announced the job. >.>

PLD - Physical Tank
NIN - Evasion Tank
Rune Knight(Fencer. Whatever.) - Magic Tank

There was a time when RDM was a magic tank, when not every single PLD had an Aegis. Also this takes Enspells and uses them as well, something that until now was the only real unique melee power RDM had. I have said before and will say again, RDM has no advantage over SCH/RDM except melee. As such taking away the only extra power a RDM has in melee kills that effect of it. This job kills the last 2 things RDM had left, elemental enspells & magic defense tanking.

You can't be serious with what I just read...


Looks like a fun job but if it really is going to be taking a tanking role, doesn't really affect Rdm anyway. Closer to sharing slot with Pld but even then, it's not like tanks are viable for many strategies right now that don't involve holding adds.

He was serious, and it's valid, RDM will have been successfully obliterated with SCH, RUN and GEO.
As an aside, with the introduction of a lot of "instanced dungeons" and such, I see an attempt to draw away from the zerg-fest that is VW and current end-game.

Only time will tell.
