Aegis > RUN

[Archaea]

I fought tax'et on run plenty of times and died on run plenty times. I remember popping a "One for All" on me dd's pld and almost got kicked for ripping hate from the pld. After I ripped hate I got hit 2-3 times with physical attacks at +500 a piece and died quickly, pug group was highly upset and not my greatest run moment. However, what I realized is run paperbag defense will not allow it to be and effective tank. However tax'et has a move that can one shot you and run can valiance or vallation to stop that one shot aoe ability, but pld but doesn't need any such ability to live they have the super aegis shield that's on all the time and there is no paper bag def problem plus a 65% block rate with that shield, that's the job who can stare the mob in the face. Furthermore, if all else fails pld can use a secret tactic and Zombie Tank, which is another thing run cant do.

Please do not ever nerf Aegis shield I love that shield and its been here long before run, fix run from not being such an embarrassment compared to the shield and leave the shield alone. Job fixes is what needs to be addressed, I hope SE gets it.

So... how are you guys even geared cus ive hit upwards of 1.1k defense on RUN... 950ish when i dont embolden protect 5. Consistant -50% pdt every fast cast item available except for chelona boots +1(using NQ) using actual tank food and phalanx... these NMs only hit for 75-115 dmg a hit hell the butterflies have hit me for less than that(usually 60-100... with proper use of aquaveil and stoneskin you mitigate quite a large chunk of damage. and RUN easily hits -87.5% MDT...... -.- Embolden Shell 5 then -14% MDT from gear. meaning you can put resists and MDB in all other available slots dont forget liement can absorb magic tp moves as well...
And raged taxet the only move truely worth mentioning is his TP move which could have hit for 1.6k while raged. Now its even easier to deal with cus you're just forcing exuv then letting DDs rip it appart


in no way shape or form have i said its better than PLD. Ive said its capable.
Preforms very well ALONGSIDE a pld and can stand alone if needed
