Endeavoring to Awaken --A Guide to Rune Fencer
Since RUN has a few self buffs having a fastcast set when your tanking is always a good thing.
Log on to LS mate doing Ig Alima, their party has gotten a record 3 Borealis drops so far. FML.

Prolix and Orunmilia have enmity- so better skip them. Making foil instant is a pretty good thing.

fastcast is somewhat important for RUN, especially if you're going to be subbing /sam. It helps you get your buffs up faster, and reduces the time in recast - Very nice for flashing every mob you see with your light armor builds.
Just wanted to add that I solo'd a lot of my VNMs ad DNC/RDM using the trial dagger + Twilight. Enspells trump Sambas, weapon effects trump sambas (twilight would absorb hp, offhand would activate sambas), and enspells trumped weapon effect (enspells proc'd, twilight didnt). Just to clear up any confusion.
So RUN/DNC could have a samba up and no runes and still get weapon procs. However their enspell effect would prevent both samba and weapon effects from happening.
whats the confusion? the higher your ele resistance the higher the chance youll resist an enfeeble all together, same with duration, glavoid couldnt slow through my entire fight Was trying to figure out exactly which rune would benefit from pflug. Conclusion from my 8hrs or so in crawler's nest is matching defending element up. But Tenacity could have interfered as well, too bad we can't disable traits to test stuff..

Good note on the getting rid of runes. Lunged with a Pflugged up Flabra and no Barstone. I'll see how long it takes to wear off.
Another thing of note: Totally forgot about Tenacity. That'll hurt testing even more >.<
Edit: Lasted 1 minute as opposed to the normal 3 or so for me under Tellus + Pflug.
Edit2: Did a couple more, same set up, same result. Slow never resisted or evaded with 0 earth resistance. Slow lasted at max 1m 52 sec with variation from a minimum of 1 minute with pflug up.
So I guess the more bar-element you have the higher chance at resisting/evading and the resisted element for the rune is what is taken into account for pflug. So Flabra's earth resist gives it resist/evade potential as well as reduces duration with Pflug up in case it doesn't get resisted?

Other options..... A fast cast augmented Anwig salade can have 5% FC, 3% more than Athos. As a possible space saver, BLood quisses can be augmented with 5% FC. Not any better than Orvail, and Orvail are certainly easier to get(and the augments suck to get on blood). But if you heave cuisses it's an option.

Would the -enmity matter so much on those if you popped +enmity in other slots not being used for fast cast?
Well, I did say to skip those cause Foil and Flash would be already casted in precast as they're so fast to launch, I think it's impossible to swap them to midcast.
Am I missing a piece of gear that RUN can wear or is the Anwig also its best MAB head piece? FC+MAB could make that a very nice hat indeed.
Aa's circlet, Thaumas hat, Seiokona, stuff.
even the above mentioned athos.

Ah, FFXIAH power search must be acting up for me then >.<
Can Double Attack, Triple Attack, and Quadruple Attack proc on Resolution?
At all. I've heard that Double Attack can't proc on WSs over 3-4 hits or something. I thought a proc usually just happens on one hit of Reso.
Double,Triple and Quadruple attack works on all Weapon skills as long as it doesn't breach the 8-hit cap on an attack round in which case, it couldn't proc.

Hits 1 and 2 can DA/TA/QA. Hits 3+ can not.

So DA/TA can proc, but QA can't?
So the hits past 8 just wouldn't register nor matter, correct?

I think it's just a matter of it being an impossibility. I think if for instance your first hit QA's, the rest of the hits don't even make the multi hit check because you're already at 8 for Reso, no?
They probably do, but it doesn't matter either way.

My point was the extra hits just don't happen. Right?
Of course. Can't go over 8 per round.
Aight, thanks. Now if only I could get an NNI group and get Thaumas Body and legs.
Was just playing with Lunge on Wild Rabbits. Appears that Runes have their own MAB value that decays over time.
Ignis > Lunge always yielded 189 on Thundersday. If I used Ignis just after Lunge and waited the full cooldown to Lunge again I would do 94 damage. (1 rune every time). Exact same results for Lux.
Sulpor > Lunge hit a max of 207 which is a 10% boost in damage which means Lunges are affected by Day of the Week bonuses and likely weather too for that matter. Twilight cape and obi's may be a great way to boost your damage with a scholar in party or /sch AoEing spells for hate? Out of the box thinking but fun find.

Not on twilight cape, but was already mentioned to use sea obis(annoying though with inventory-8...)

/shrug ~90% of us should have those in inventory anyway for various spells/weaponsskills
I may have been called crazy for making all 8 of them for SCH...

NOW THEY CAN'T MOCK ME, RIGHT?!
