How to Tank with RUN -- A simple guide

[Kote]

Back on topic of tanking as a RUN... using Crusade gives you +30 enmity. Very useful. I find in a WKR that if I'm first person to the mob now, I won't ever lose hate, unless my NPCs die and noone else bothers to cure me, that is. Some nasty moves used by some of the WKR bosses I've found... Dispel all being one particularly nasty one, even in a full PDT (mine is 49%) set it's not nice to drop from 1400+ def to ~700 or whatever I'm at without protect and cocoon.

So the whole Run/blu set is just for the cocoon buff? Does rune relic pants aply to blue spells like cocoon? With all things considered I'm suprised /war never worked out for Rune Fencer tanks like it did for Paladin (defender and provoke).

, H-P bayld is hard to come by

I just found out wkr has the highest drop rate but you really need alot of reive momentum to get a sack that drops multiples of hp-bayld.

Right now some folks are saying the Ergon GS is to Rune as Aegis is to a Paladin. Dont know why but the fact is, unless it goes past the ~23%~25% parry cap. Even with Aettir or Epeolatry. If a Rune Fencer is dual tanking with a Paladin, the Rune Fencer should be inback of the Paladin. This way the Paladin can use "Cover" on the Rune Fencer to reduce their overall physical damage for ~30 seconds. With Aegis or Ochain, this can help when buffs need to be reaplied on Rune. With the right gear Paladins can redirect magic damage with cover and gain some mp off it. If a Rune is tanking with Epeolatry, would Liement also redirect the remaining magic damage to Paladins health as well?

However the reverse can also be said if Rune takes hate and Paladin needs a breath for hp, mp or buffs. Then Rune could use Crusade with Battuta and parry block for paladin untill Paladin is ready to use crusade and steal hate back with provoke, Bash, and other enmity spells.
