How to Tank with RUN -- A simple guide

[Babekeke]

So the whole Run/blu set is just for the cocoon buff? Does rune relic pants aply to blue spells like cocoon?

Mainly, though there are a couple of other bonuses. Defense bonus and attack bonus JTs. Wild Carrot can help out when needed, also healing breeze if the party gets slept, or just to grab a chunk of hate. Also Blank Gaze, Jettatura and another (poison breath?) give high amounts of enmity if needed. Or you can just set spells based on what stats they give when set (eg bomb toss and blastbomb for STR etc.)
Oh, also when solo, you have 10% haste from refuelling.

With all things considered I'm suprised /war never worked out for Rune Fencer tanks like it did for Paladin (defender and provoke).

Cocoon gives more def with no attack loss. PLDs have also used /BLU in the past for the same reason, but without inspiration, it's easy to get interrupted.
