Sunblade branch trials.. not RUN usable?

Because they said they were excluding it from Relics/Emps, they said nothing about the Physical Great Sword path, in all honesty they should be included up to that point.

I'm of the mind set that disallowing them from the base was the easiest route to not having to deal with any guff from the physical route in general -- again, SE is doing R&D for what the new jobs will need and not giving them the physical route was just a decision they made within the realm of limiting potential directions the jobs could go. It's the same reason why I imagine RUN isn't on Mercurial Sword. They didn't want people getting weird ideas with multihit weapons, maybe?

Historically, once a job gets type-cast within a certain roll it is very hard for them to circumvent that role even after updates arrive -- perhaps putting staunch limits on what the jobs had access to is their way of ensuring no one gets ideas beyond what SE has planned long term.

Granted, releasing the jobs complete would have been a more substantial way to solidify the jobs in specific roles, but I'm thinking they honestly are taking into account the noted failings of the jobs within the comments of the community for consideration of how to adjust merits and forthcoming spells and abilities.
