| Greetings! I have the answer to the question that has been asked since VanaFest: Almost Every Player said: Will rune fencers utilize consumable items for their runes or is it a charge-type abilty? Hope this clears up the debate  | ||||

Oh the joy! Get ready Rune Fencers you can share the terrible recast system dnc has for job abilities.

its more like they get to share the spotlight with how normal job abilities work...except every 10 seconds...and not needed finishing moves....congratulations SE...you're slowly making the next PLD noone will ever use.

Mythic GS only
There is a Mythic GS ? >.>;
I really like the sounds of this.
Rune fencer = death knight from WOW
Tons of anti-magic things(Anti-magic zone, anti-magic shell), runic power = TP, rune charges = runes, 2h tank, etc.

Their exceptional magic defense and elemental resistance put them squarely in the tank category

Uh? Waiting 40s~1m per rune as compared to maybe expending some type of resource (MP or TP most likely) for a charge every 10s seems like an easy choice to me. Access to more runes, particularly since this job seems to function around dynamic use of runes, is a very, very good thing and is infinitely superior to something like Quick Draw or Stratagems.

Unless they mean you use JA to build up runes to expend, then it sounds interesting.

They said rune fencer is getting its own mythic,so it will likely be a GS from the pictures
Thanks for the answer, tho i hate the idea of "Mythic" cos its coming from ToAU lol.
If I can't use my calad on it, I'm going to be very fking sad.

DNC step/flourish system is very interactive and requires you to pay attention the entire time. A charge stratagem type system doesn't. DNC type combat systems are much more interactive and user-based than a auto-regening resource.

To be fair (unless there is something I missed straight from Japan-land) it could just be a Sword?
As there are multiple mythic weapons of the same type: H2H, Sword, Dagger etc.
I also hope they revamp the jobs allowed to use empyreans/relics,
ie: DNC -> MANDAU, BLU -> EXCALIBUR, RNE -> RAGNAROK etc.

SE said their primary weapon would be Great Sword and they are also able to use swords, so kinda like a reverse PLD.
SE announced that Rune Fencer will receive it's own Mythic, and it will not be added to relics or magian weapons. (Emps are magian weapons before anyone asks.)

There's also no reason to believe that Balrahn, a collector of extremely rare artifacts, and who was an extremely well-known and repsected political figure, would have had no contact with people from Adoulin and would not have attempted to collect artifacts related to Geomancers and Rune Fencers.
Also just because we don't know of a job as a playerbase - to me, it's always been pretty apparent through FFXI's writing that there myriad other schools of magic, styles of combat, and as a result, classes that probably exist in Vana'diel which may or may not be known to NPCs but not necessarily to us.

 By now the name of Balrahn, great restorer of the Empire of Aht Urhgan, has resounded throughout Vana'diel, reaching the ears of all in the form of both history and legend. Blessed with multifarious talents and gifted in nearly every field of human endeavor, the tales of his exploits and travels have become an undying source of entertainment and delight. The restoration of the reign and dignity of the throne which he ushered in has earned him recognition as the greatest hero that empire has ever known. Though, we would of course be getting ahead of ourselves to posit that his grandeur or regality was on a scale with anything approaching that of our King Ranperre. During his time on the throne, Balrahn garnered enormous respect amongst the people for his utter lack of interest in the superfluousness of royalty. The magnificent structures, the lush garments, the grand banquets… Rather, Balrahn was obsessed with, and dedicated himself wholeheartedly to, the amassing of rare and powerful weaponry. Indeed, the vast majority of valuable weapons stored in the Imperial armories are from his personal collection. These are weapons heralded to be unparalleled in their artistry in form and efficacy in battle. However, according to an Imperial spy, the official ledger containing the list of those weapons, though guarded to the utmost and never permitted to pass through the palace gates, was obtained by subversive means and made known to the public. What degree of truth and significance can be ascribed to these entries? Could it possibly be some clever scheme on the part of the Empire to leak false information for its own ends? Or could this truly be an instance of espionage unprecedented in scale throughout history? But for our purposes here, this is a moot point. The information has been made known, adventurer. Whatever action that knowledge may lead to is entirely in your hands now. History teaches us that the misuse or misappropriation of weapons of this magnitude can only lead the most disastrous of consequences. We can only pray that a threat so great as to warrant their consideration for use will ever cast its shadow over our Aht Urhgan. |

If they were on magians they'd be on empies...and they said no empy.

You might be right they didn't specifically mention Magian weapons, so there is still hope that Rune Fencer can use the OA2. :D
Link of what SE said.

I think they could still be on magian weapons, they only said the empy weapons were balanced for the jobs listed, not the rest of the trials.

But all jobs on magian weapons are on the empy too. It's pretty stupid to only give half access...
