Rune Fencer Request.

[FaeQueenCory]

It looks like swipe is gonna be 1/3 the power of lunge, ie: your lunge deals 1500 dmg, a swipe would deal 500 dmg.
I don't really think the question is "what's the timer gonna be" or "will this have higher generated enmity"... I think the real question is "what's the level that RUN gets this at?"
Cause I'm expecting something like <25. If Lunge is a up-to-3-hit JA, and Swipe is a 1-hit JA... It would stand to reason that this is a "low level JA"... which is absolutely absurd, IMO... because the way they have RUN and GEO set up... the jobs practically demand you ignore levels 2-98.
And because I'm expecting this to be a lv... 15ish (cause that sounds about right given that runes start at lv5) JA... I don't think it's gonna have a super low timer. Lunge has a 3m timer... so Swipe could have anywhere from 1m to 3m timer... it all really depends on what level RUN gets it at: if it's low level like it looks like (cause it's a baby Lunge) then it will probably have a similar timer to Lunge, if it's a random 99 JA.... then it would probably be a lower timer.
But I see no reason it would be a high-level JA... given how it's a baby Lunge and Lunge is a lv25 JA that gets better as the number of runes capable of being held increases.

As to "will it be more powerful/just as powerful as Lunge".... um... what? Why would popping one magical rune to make a strike on an opponent be AS POWERFUL as popping 2 or 3? It's gonna be as powerful as Lunge with 1 rune.

And as to the other two adjustments... the +acc is just... what?
"RUN needs more defense against poking because we shafted it with light-armor-only and no shield support."
"I know! Give it more acc! Cause THAT will make it take less physical damage!"
Um... what? SE... I'mma need you to... stop whatever led to that thinking. (I think they said "so you can focus on wearing -PDT stuff instead of acc stuff"... but... I don't think they realize that ppl don't wear Thaumas Coat for the acc mod.)
And the JA-cure... I dunno... it could be either supercrap... or supersexy.... but there's really no middle ground with it. Either it's doomed to a redic recast timer that makes it worthless... or it heals for such a piddly amount that it's not worth even using... Or it's a fullcure on a 2min timer (or w/e).... or it's a JA cure4/rune... or something equally crazygood.
(I also worry a bit about if it gains potency not as a function of rune number... but of rune type... cause if it's potency is affected by type and not just number... then with certain runes, it would be so situational that it's made crap unless you're using flabra, unda or lux...)

And as to the RF2 (cause it ain't an AF2... they already said that it's just "relic-like" and will be gotten via a quest/line...)... I'm expecting it to be like PLD's RF1/+1 randomly turned into: -eleventybillionDT EVERYWHERE...
Or maybe just a large amount of -PDT... Though I don't think anyone would complain if there was any -MDT there.
As for it's look...
It's salmon, not pink. Stop being sexist/homophobic and learn your colors. Cause if you're gonna be a bigot, at least get your hatespeech right about what color is "emasculating" you.
(Of course not liking the color scheme is perfectly fine... but a person shouldn't have to preface their "I don't like the colors on this one" with "I'm a girl"... cause we shouldn't have to be worried about being grouped in with the sexists/homophobes who go nanners when they get threatened by the color of a fake set of clothes that their digital avatars might not even wear.)
And speaking of emasculating... I'm sorry... but the WHOLE JSE of RUN is "emasculative".
You wear a tiara.
You have thigh-high "hooker boots".
Your coat is so long it might as well be a dress.
And you carry around a GIANT sword. (for some: to compensate. for me: I'm a size-queen... so the whole look of RUN's JSE just amuses me to no end. I love it.)
And that's not even getting to the actual job's function of glittering yourself up with sparkly floaty arcane symbols...
Personally... I look forward to my new golden tiara, salmon colored dress-coat, and salmon thigh-high-hooker-boots.
They'll look fa~bu~lo~us along side my ginormous golden greatsword. ;p
