    Recommended Merits?

    What would you guys suggest?

    And what is the point of Rayke? it sounds the same as gambit.

    Gambit lowers magic defense, so nukes & lunge hit harder. Rayke lower magic resistance, so debuffs stick better.

    Dhragon covered Rayke.

    As for what merits to choose, I went:

    Group 1:

    Rune Enchantment 5/5
    Valliance/Vallation effect 5/5

    Group 2:

    Rayke 1/5
    Battuta 5/5
    Inspiration 4/5

    Inspiration 5/5

    I tend to solo more often than not with RUN so I'll take the extra fast cast. If I go to an event where people really need help sticking debuffs (lolKurma), it isn't hard to toss an extra 3 merits into something real quick.

    Samurai Archery is said to be a thing of the past, but it isn't dead yet!

    Mine "will" look just like Babekeke's. The last one to drop merits in to is Inspiration.

    OK, let me be honest:

    Rayke is only for the vein hope that RUN may get a niche spot in some end-game stuff by allowing certain enfeebs to be landed much easier through the use of Rayke. If you have no intention of doing end-game on RUN, or you aren't yet ready to partake in such events until you progress your gear and such, then go 5/5 Inspiration, until you are ready for end-game stuff.

    However, Rayke may well come in handy for AF fights and so on, as well.

    Hmmmm... That is very true.... though disheartening....
    I just love the fast cast... but the 4/5 inspiration is a better choice than a 4/5 Battuta IMO.

    Also: glad you didn't think I was serious about the lunge acc... dear god that should have been -recast...
