Aegis > RUN

[Zagen]

It works fine to tank any level 99 content, not just abyssea. It also deals a lot more damage while doing so than an Aegis PLD. Also for that great -MDT, a PLD needs 23% -MDT from gear other than the shield. A RUN only needs -14%. So you can cap it with 2 rings.

If once we get merits, AF, relic and empy gear we're still completely useless to tank in SoA, then SE has made terrible errors, but until then I'll hold out hope.

Also, an Aegis (at today's prices) costs at least 130mil to get to 99. I'm pretty sure that after spending 130 mil on RUN, it would be much better.

Now you're just being obtuse...Working fine on easy level 99 content is pointless, why should I go on RUN when I could go on "insert DD job" instead and kill X faster. Take RUN to tank Tojil let me know how that works out... That's a NM that Aegis PLD tanks.

AF, Relic, and Emp gear would have to be some of the most broken equipment ever created to bring RUN up to what it was pitched as being.

You could have Rank 15 Delve (currently the only way to blow gil kinda on RUN) gear for RUN and you know what that does? It makes it a less weak DD, unimproved support, and still isn't tanking better than a PLD because even if you opted for evasion path giving you essentially +120 evasion you won't be evading enough to negate the physical damage to the degree ochain or aegis does.

This is still the most stupid argument ever.

To put this argument into comparison, it's the same as saying "Ukon War > non-r/m/e/d <insert DD job here>"

You mean the same argument made for years about PLD not being a needed job? They regained a place while niche it's still more than RUN has now.

What exactly does RUN have that's unique and can't be replaced by another job?

As Duelle mentioned GEO (at least publicly) is getting much more polishing than RUN. The sad part about that is even without AF/Relic/Emp/Mythic GEO has already gained a position in small man and high end game events and it's incomplete.
