PLD + RDM = RUN?

[Karbuncle]

RUN is basically the self-buffing section from RDM combined with light armor from BLU and given high powered STR based WS's. They even threw in Flash for sh!ts and giggles.

So yeah it's pretty much melee RDM with light armor and good WS selection. It doesn't get OaT Fulg which REALLY hurts it's potential. It does get STR Magain so there is hope for a decent Weapon. And before anyone mentions bora know that it has a 0.13% drop rate, your not going to be seeing many of those and I wouldn't plan on getting one.

Borealis is still on the table as a great weapon. Just cause Ryunohige is hard to obtain doesn't mean its not considered with DRGs :Q

Though, I'll probably be rocking the Potato Peeler for a while (Jingang). That said, Its technically... much better than RDM in terms of melee, its gear options are much better. I don't expect it to be anything to write home about, But its Magical defenses are rather impressive, its just selective.

I mean, Yah, Aegis exists so PLD still wins in that department, But RUN's are AoE iirc, and they even have the ability to annul certain elemental damage, or absorb(I think absorb, cant remember).

Either way, its an Evasive tank with AoE MDef Buffs... Which seems to be good considering most of Adoulins big baddies right now have a specific element associated with them.
