Predictions on RUN Merits!

[Babekeke]

It would be nice to see a Desperate Blows-style group 2 merit category for swordplay. Even just a little haste on it would be a vast improvement. Combined with AF increasing the acc/eva on it, group 1 merits reducing recast, and a relic piece increasing the duration.

Also as a group 2 I can see us getting a trait that gives MAB for lunge, or just a direct % damage increase per merit.

The other group 2 categories will likely be entirely new JAs, so what SE has in store for them, I have no idea.

I was thinking about that. I was going to propose a new Job Trait "Monkey Grip", lowers weapon delay (Job Ability Haste of course), but maybe during swordplay that'd be fine

Monkey grip is using a 2hander in a single hand so that you can use a shield. Wrong tank. And no you can't dual wield great swords.

If you really want something good for RUN that will fit in, you want critical hits to cause your additional damage to spike significantly. RUN has access to a large amount of crit in their TP gear since they are light DDs. That trait could also make RUN's additional damage generate hate, unlike traditional forms of additional damage.

I will be VERY disappointed if they do that. VERY Disappointed.

i would break my security token and systematically retake 11 years of service fees back out of SE one developer at a time.
