Predictions on RUN Merits!

[Volarione]

From the bowels of the underworld, whispered in my ear by the ghost of Adolf Hitler, I bring a prediction most grim.

Tier 1 Merits:

Increase Ignus Rune Potency
Increase Gelus Rune Potency
Increase Flabra Rune Potency
Increase Tellus Rune Potency
Increase Sulpor Rune Potency
Increase Unda Rune Potency
Increase Lux Rune Potency
Increase Tenebrae Rune Potency

Please god no.

[Metaking]

whelp time to get myself shot, but anyhow, if that is what se does, and say it increased potency at 5/5 by 50% aka 50% more en dmg 50% more resistance against the weaker element 50% more lunge dmg ext ext might be worth it, tho i would hope se would divide it into 2 groups, cant think of a fancy name for them, but pretty much fire wind thunder light in one group and the others in the second, and 3 other merit choices >.>; for group 1 i mean

[Kristal]

Tier 1:
Embolden Potency (+10% per upgrade)
Rune Potency (+1 dmg per rune per upgrade)
Lunge Recast (-6 seconds per upgrade)
Enhancing Magic Duration (+10% duration per upgrade)
Swordplay Duration (+15 seconds per upgrade)
Ward Potency (+10% potency per upgrade)

I'm not going to bother with Tier 2 yet

Finally, some notion of sense. Of course, I would instead have lunge changed to effusion with an addition to a cat 2 merit as another type of effusion that deals dmg/merit

You're right about Effusion. I'm currently lvl 66 RUN, and it's all old-school xp gaining (no Abyssea xp leech crap), so Lunge is all I got in Effusion atm. It's nowhere near the effort it took in the real old days, but at least you get your skills close to cap and learn a job thoroughly. (Unlike some people who go 30>99 on an afternoon of aby xp leeching, then congratulate themselves on a job well done.)

Needs the titular Final Fantasy Runic ability in some form. Either of the following will do:


(trait) Runic Conduit - Converts Magic Damage into MP 5% per upgrade.

or

(JA) Runic - Negates the next magical attack and converts damage to MP(10m recast).

We have something similar in the form of the Liement shield, but that just converts damage to HP. Having said that, though, I wouldn't be surprised if we got something like in the form of Empyrean Armor.

we have it except for it restores HP.

Yes but Orphanus is right, we need a way to restore MP faster than full-timing Idle gear right now. Especially if Foil is enhanced so it's actually worth using.

Wouldn't it be nice to see a group 2 merit that allowed us to Lunge but in an AOE?
