Aegis > RUN

[Babekeke]

People keep on saying how RUN can only mitigate damage from 1 element at a time...

... which is wrong of course.

#1 barspell: Cast by yourself if solo, or by a whm if in a party. (yes, every party member can get this too).

#2 Build up 3 runes of a different element and use Valiance or Vallation. (Valliance also helps out the rest of the party, but you need the RUN there to use it).

#3 Build up 3 more runes of a third element.

#4 If a spell comes in of one of the other elements, hit one for all.

#5 If mob uses Chainspell, hit Elemental Sforzo (RUN is the best job for tanking chainspell for this reason alone... if it can get/hold hate, which shouldn't be too hard when you pop Ele Sforzo anyway).

Not just 1 element.

Edit: Oh not to mention that we only need 14% -MDT in gear to cap MDT when using Shell V on ourselves with Embolden. (even less if it stacks with effects of Sheltered ring)
