CB has a 30 sec countdown, which is even enough time to get 3 runes up, if you either just got dispelled, or if you had used Lunge, or just had 3 of a different element up, and still hit Liement.
Indeed, the liement ability itself is amazing. Especially if its used before something as damaging as Citadel Buster as you said. I solo'd Megamaw Mikey -- Even though this is in abyssea -- by keeping up Shell V, Phalanx, foil, barstone, 3 Flabra, and valiance. Once my hp would drop pretty low, i would put on liement right before a damaging spell like Stone V and my hp would just shoot right up to full or close to it. I've been reading that some people were taking a bunch of damage from his spells, but the most I've been hit for was around 350 damage I believe, the elemental resistance on RUN is amazing. What i want to try next is being hit by meteor o.o
