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
Run does not have pro 5. I don't think run is capable of holding nm's at the moment, you cant embolden everything and you can't reapply aquaviel and stoneskin whenever you want because of the long casting times. Yeah I can get a 1000 def going /blu with tacos, cacoon and embolden pro 4, but buffs do not last long and are very difficult to reapply. Cacoon wears off in like 60 seconds, and flash deos not give you to much time agianst a adoulin nm. Run have no restorative capabilities besides very slow regens and when tanking they are almost useless.
