Food to Eat

Reccomended:

• Miso Ramen
• Stats: HP+100, STR+5, VIT+5, DEF+10% (Max. 170), "Magic Def. Bonus"+5, Magic Evasion +10% (Max. 50),"Resist Slow" +10.
  • The best defensive tanking food there is. It couples HP+, Defense, and Magic Evasion+ all into one food.
    • Purchased from the Auction House. Crafted only.
• Om. Sandwich
• Stats: HP+11% (Max. 150), VIT+7, MND+7, Accuracy+11% (Max. 80), DEF+11% (Max. 120), Enmity+4.
  • Introduced in The Voracious Resurgence missionline. Comparable to Miso Ramen in HP and Defense; exchanging Magic Evasion and Magic Defense Bonus for Accuracy and Enmity.
  • Purchased from the Auction House. Crafted only.

Alternatives:

• Black Curry Bun
• Stats: (DEX+2, VIT+4, INT+1, Accuracy+5, Ranged Accuracy+5, Evasion+5, DEF+15% (Max. 180), "Resist Sleep"+3, HP recovered while healing +2, MP recovered while healing +1)
  • The next best thing. This food actually has 10 more defense than Miso Ramen, but lacks the other benefits. The silver lining is that they are a fourth to a fifth the price of Miso depending on the market.
    • Purchased from the Curio Moogle for 4,000 gil, 48,000 a stack.
• Tavnazian Taco
• Stats: (HP+20, MP+20, DEX+4, VIT+6, AGI+4, CHR+4, DEF+25% (Max. 150), HP and MP recovered while healing +1)
  • The once famous food. There is no reason to really use this anymore, but if you are a lower level it will grant more defense than one of these higher level items given its lower cap, but higher percentage increase.
    • Purchased from the Curio Moogle for 4,000 gil, 48,000 a stack.
• Rabbit Pie
• Stats: (STR+5 VIT+5 INT-2 Attack+25% (Max. 100) Ranged Attack+25% (Max. 100) DEF+25% (Max. 100))
  • An honorable mention. The attack and defense parameters aren't as high given it's hybrid status but definitely worth looking at.
    • Purchased from Curio Moogle for 3,000 gil, 36,000 gil a stack.
• Fried Popoto
• Stats: (HP +30, VIT +2, +20, Defense +20% (Cap:145), Subtle Blow +8)
  • This food is as cheap as it gets, excluding the crystal it costs less than 300 gil to make 6 of these a synth. Making these in bulk to store and use for Ambuscade spam and similar events will cost you next to nothing. Even if you have to shout and pay a level 90+ cook 50-100k to make them for you. It would still only cost you roughly 10-20k a stack of Fried Popotos.
    • Purchased from the Auction House, crafted only.

Roles

Hybrid Tank with emphasis on magic damage mitigation.

Support Jobs

Dark Knight A Dark Knight serves as one of two of the most common sub jobs for Rune Fencer. As a more offensively oriented sub job, a RUN/DRK has the potential to increase it's damage output through the use of abilities and traits it gains. The tanking strategy for this set up is to establish hate with Poisonga and then rotate Foil, Stun, Flash to maintain hate on the threats. Abilities: Arcane Circle, Last Resort, Weapon Bash Traits: Smite II, Resist Paralyze II, Desperate Blows II, Attack Bonus III & Resist Paralyze III (ML5), Smite III & Damage Limit III (ML30) Spells: Stun, Poisonga, Aspir

Blue Mage Using Blue Mage as a sub job is commonly seen with Paladin, but for beginning Rune Fencers, this is a common tactic. While your use of spells and traits will vary based on the spells you set, the most common spells set are Healing Breeze, Sheep Song, Wild Carrot, Terror Touch, Grand Slam, Cocoon, Jettatura, and Blank Gaze. Abilities: No noteworthy abilities Traits: Varies Spells: Varies

Samurai A fairly uncommon subjob, this sub job is more common for soloing where a Rune Fencer is either opening or soloing Skill Chains in parties such as CP or Odyssey were a true tank is not needed. Abilities: Warding Circle, Hasso, Third Eye, Meditate, Sekkanoki Traits: Store TP II, Zanshin II, Resist Blind III, Store Tp III & Zanshin III (ML5)

Ninja While boosting an impressive amount of skills to add to your kit when soloing, using Ninja for a subjob provides little to a Rune Fencer. Commonly the purpose for this use is for Ambuscade fights or Master Trails. The lack of skill in Ninjutsu means that holding hate will become reliant mostly on Rune Fencer's Capabilities. Not to mention Elemental Ninjutsu will not be of use effective in endgame content. Traits: Dual Wield III, Subtle Blow III Buffing Ninjutsu: Tonko: Ichi/Ni, Utsusemi: Ichi/Ni, Enfeebling Ninjutsu: Kurayami: Ichi/Ni, Hojo: Ichi/Ni, Dokumori: Ichi, Jubaku: Ichi Elemental Ninjutsu: Katon: Ichi/Ni, Suiton: Ichi/Ni, Raiton: Ichi/Ni, Doton: Ichi/Ni, Huton: Ichi/Ni, Hyoton: Ichi/Ni

Tanking: Mitigation & Enmity

• A Rune Fencer's job of tanking can be split into two [simplified] schools of thought: 1) Mitigating incoming damage and negative status effects through defensive measures; and 2) Maintaining a high(er) level of enmity over other party and/or alliance members. Please see below.

Layering Defenses

• Ah Defense. As mentioned above, the key to mitigating damage and negative statuses is through layering defenses against them.

• On the physical side for Rune Fencer, it starts with the most basic of stats of Vitality and Physical Defense. Further enhanced by stats such as Physical Damage Taken -% (PDT-%) gear and its more advanced form Damage Taken -% (DT-%) gear. Rune Fencer also specializes in Parrying which completely negates damage when facing an attacking monster while engaged. There are various spells and abilities which augment physical defenses such as Protect, Phalanx, and Battuta.

• On the magical side for Rune Fencer, it starts with the the stats of Intelligence, Mind, Magic Defense and Magic Evasion. Further enhanced by magic damage taken -% (MDT-%) gear and its more advanced form Damage Taken -% gear (which covers bother Physical and Magical damage, but also the less often seen Breathe damage). There are various spells and abilities which augment magical defenses such as Shell (which is itself a form of MDT-%) and One For All for example.

Enmity

• Enmity itself can be divided into two specific measurable types: Cumulative Enmity and Volatile Enmity.

• Cumulative Enmity is largely static and typically builds slower than its counterpart. Cumulative Enmity is reduced by outside actions such as taking damage and getting debuffed (negative status effects).

• Volatile Enmity is more fluid in that it builds quickly--typically (but not always) at a rate of three times that of Cumulative Enmity. Volatile Enmity however, natively reduces overtime. Approximately 60 Volatile Enmity per second.

• Please see Enmity Table section below for the measurable caps on both types of enmity.

• Enmity in general can be split across three categories: Curing, Damage, and Actions. The first two are fairly self-explanatory but here is a direct link for further explanation: Damage and Cure Enmity Gain. Please see below for Actions.

• Virtually every player action in the game generates enmity. Although most don't do much, "enmity actions" would be actions with notable enmity value(s) attached. (Such as Flash or Provoke)

• Enmity also has a general range limit. Which should be kept in mind for tanking purposes, such as when kiting a mob.
  • The maximum range for registering a Spell or Ability's Enmity with/against a given foe is 25 yalms.

Enmity Table

• As per the Enmity page:

• The cap enmity is 60,000 total (30,000 each of Cumulative (CE) and Volatile Enmity (VE)).
• If multiple players have enmity on a monster (on the hate list), the monster will target the player on the hate list with the highest combined enmity values.
• In the case of multiple players having identical enmity values (being at enmity cap for example), a monster will target the player that acted most recently.

1. With Rune Fencer's Ergon Weapon Epeolatry equipped, Liement's effect is augmented to an Area of Effect of 10 yalms. The Enmity Values are multiplied per party member hit with the effect.

Merits

ExpandGroup 1
Name	Description	Level	Notes
Rune Enhancement Effect	Increase potency of runes harbored by 2 points.	5/5	This is nice, and provides up to 10 magic evasion per rune. Only alternative would be Pflug.
Vallation Effect	Add elemental damage reduction to Vallation and Valiance of 1 point per rune.	5/5	Not optional. Increases the elemental damage reduction of the JAs from 15% to 20% per rune. This is not counted as MDT and is multiplicative with and thus passes the MDT cap for those elements though. This is similar to Barrier Tusk, and the potency over DT cap. Given that you may AoE this to your party. This is a crucial category for fulfilling your role as a magic reduction tank.
Lunge Effect	Increase the accuracy of Lunge/Swipe by 3 per rune.	0/5	Hey look ma', garbage!
Pflug Effect	Enhance the likelihood of resisting opposing rune elements by 1%	0/5	If it weren't for the fact that resistance is halved against NMs (so +2% at 5/5, woah!) and the Runeist's Bottes +3 needing to be equipped while the ability is on, then this would be a nicer option. The best way to use this would be against an enemy like Arebati V15. Where Amnesia and Encumbrance, which are both fire based enfeebles, are plaguing your existence, but are a different element than the runes you need to run to not get destroyed by Blizzard VI and ice based TP moves. You may use Unda x3 and Pflug then go back to Ignis runes and evade some of the Amnesia and Encumbrance. However, you are probably much better off just running a barfire/baramnesia to combat those effects (despite the dispelling..) and running 3 ignis full time to nerf any damage and hate loss. So, lets go Rune Enhancement 5/5. This is not bad, but its "so SE".
Gambit Recast	Shorten recast time by 10 seconds.	0/5	No.

ExpandGroup 2
Name	Description	Level	Notes
Battuta	Parry +4% per level. We don't care about counter-spike damage.	4/5 or 5/5	Inquartata is your best way of mitigating physical damage for overall tanking. Battuta not only protects you from hordes of well positioned foes spitting on your face, but also allows you to situationally take risks in the name of DPS by more safely wearing offensive sets while gaining TP from Tactical Parry and going shall we say, apeshit. Such a situation is most common in something like Ambuscade, but it sure feels good.
Rayke	Expends runes to reduce the resistance (SDT) of a target.	1/5	This is something which I historically had at 5/5 when BLM MBing was the way many moons ago. It also helps dramatically with SC damage, and landing debuffs (see SDT page and resistance tiers) despite its short duration of 33-45 seconds. Rayke also works as a last resort for grabbing enmity after a hate reset. This ability is one of the best magical niches RUN can fulfil. Use it after throwing on Gambit as it lasts twice as long (like this should!).
Inspiration	Grants a Fast Cast effect to Vallation and Valiance, 10% per level.	4/5 or 5/5	This may sound underwhelming at first, but a Paladin would give their left ovary to have this. The real benefit isn't obvious at first to some, but being able to reduce your FC by 60% (with Futhark Trousers) allows for more DT, Enmity, HP, and survivability. Dying midcast is probably going to be your most likely event over time, and this helps prevent that. Properly gearing around this is critical in being all the RUN you can be. Alternatively, if you needed points, RUN gets enough FC (~70% out of 80% cap) to run this at 1/5. This 10%/tier FC bonus also applies to your party during Valiance, so be the guy.
Sleight of Sword	Grants a "Subtle Blow" effect during Swordplay.	0/5	This is really only useful for niche situations such as Sealed Fate strategies, but it does have a use.

New Players Sets

Foreword

• When it comes to RUNE Fencer, I find it to be a slightly difficult task to tell people "Where to start". As content has been introduced over the years and The Meta™ changed, so has entry sets.
• What I can advocate for, and still stick to however, is that Rune Fencer's Artifact, Relic, and Empyrean armors remain at the core of their sets (from Entry Level to High-End). So collect those first and foremost!
• Some accessory examples to consider (if you don't have them of course) are Defending Ring, Loricate Torque, Odnowa Earring & Tuisto Earring, and Staunch Tathlum for defensive purposes.

Equipment Sets: Work in Progress.

This set is based off of ease of access to certain pieces of gear. Nothing here is really hard to get. None of it is a waste of time to get either outside of Ayanmo Ring, but that is easy. Evasionist's Cape is assumed at a 3% DT augment. See Detrovio. Use Refractive Crystals. The cape will last you forever thanks to Embolden. Moonbeam Ring would be better than Ayanmo Ring, but costs a chunk of money you should just spend on the tathlum instead.   Tanking     No D Ring/Su3 -54% PDT -23% MDT 473 MEva Aettir Magic Evasion +50 Refined Grip +1 Staunch Tathlum Fu.

Eva +30, Enmity+, Parry +5 Expand Notes: Just an idea there are plenty of tanking sets you can make. See below. Futhark Coat +1 has less magic evasion than Erilaz +1 (64 vs 80), 24 less HP, and the Surcoat replaces the MP to damage of Flume Belt (6% vs 4%). Upgrading the body to +2 would be a huge help, but you can tank most things in this game with this set, buffs, and food.

The loss of defense from Nyame isn't significant enough. Only buffs and debuffs will really change the end result. Yes, the loss of Turms feet is worth it.

Evasion tanking is actually the ideal way to go for certain situations if you can get support from a BRD or GEO. Don't forget Salt Ramen or Popo. Con Queso. So what is the value of this? Well, First off you cap evasion against Omen fodder with no buffs. Second, with support you can AoE evasion tank Divergence and Odyssey Sheol C farms. Make sure you keep the set on for midcasts such as AoEs, Foil, etc. Although you are a RUN so its not the end of the world if you tank hits.     Enfeeble Focus -46% PDT -35% MDT 572 MEva +692 HP +94% Resist Malignance Sword Chanter's Shield Staunch Tathlum +1 Volte Cap Volte Jupon Erilaz Gauntlets +3 Rune.

Eva +30, Enmity+, Resist +10 Expand Notes: Some NMs primarily or only inflict magical damage and/or the worst thing are their enfeebles. With the correct runes, you should generally still have sufficient magic evasion to pass that resist check all the same. Resist is halved against NMs, but nearly a 50% chance is still swank. The only issue here is Volte, but that is an easy duo/trio outside of the Body which will take more bodies or time or a good strategy.

The Devs basically decided to stop adding melee gear for RUN. So you get to use Nyame.

Enhancing Cap with merits and job points is 440 before gear or Master Levels. Barspells and Phalanx cap at 500 skill. Temper does not cap. Temper is 1% DA for every 10 enhancing. Phalanx is roughly 1 damage absorbed every 29 enhancing. This is why Phalanx+ is always better. Phalanx+ reduces damage by the "x+" value.

Therefore, adding 10 skill with 3 runes nets you an extra 4 MP So yeah, don't waste inventory on extra Divine Magic Skill equipment. It is listed here nonetheless.

However, I haven't been interrupted at 101% with newer ilvl pieces. As with DT or Haste pieces, SIR value is calculated in x/1024. So the exact value being 100, 101, or 102% isn't really known. You could and should just merit SIR to reduce the % needed. I can't see a reason not to have 5/5 SIR merits, it outweigh anything else.
