I'm not too familiar with spellcast however... i don't happen to see a <rule> anywhere that would require a </rule> in your xml.

Also, since line 187 is </if>, does line 188 need an </if> as well?

IT does. I like to fight the Baelfyr for GS skill ups and when it does enstone It hits me for single digits and sometimes zeroes.

Edit: Also spike spells are fully resisted or it shows zero damage.

Try adding a .2second cast delay on your JA's to give it time to switch the gear in:
<castdelay delay="0.2" />

Have you tried without checking for the type? That's the only thing I can see besides using different set names our Lunge checks are identical. I honestly don't see the point of checking for type it just seems like an unneeded check.

hmm, I resisted a Luminous Drape(Charm) from a yovra yesterday with 3x Lux on, it was posible to resist that before on other jobs or had something to do with Run?
I never saw it missing personally but it's strange because Lux is suposed to give dark resistance and charm is suposed to be light? I didn't have any other Ja active either, may have been a tenacity proc too I guess.

Not directing this at anyone on the forums, just from what I've heard people say on my server... So many people just act like Rune Fencer is a DD job. Or saying that it can't tank like PLD or NIN.

News Flash; it's not PLD nor NIN. It tanks like Rune Fencer.

Still, here's some item sets I threw together. I tried to stay clear of Legion items since that's mostly for people in a linkshell that does the event. Salvage I/II is easy enough for anyone to do with a brd sch thf. Meeble Burrows you can shout for people same with Neo-Nyzul Isle. For the +1 stuff, if you can't afford it/none are in stock or you're like me and super cheap, NQ. These are just sets I suggest and not what you should use etc. (Also the TP, Lunge and Resolution/Ruinator sets are the same as Prothescar's sets, except I switched Thaumus pants with Abatteur Subligar in the WS set.) I also left the main/sub weapon blank since some people perfer axe or sword over Great Sword. I didn't bother with a Great Axe set.

TP
ItemSet 295582

Resolution/Ruinator
ItemSet 296863

Requiescat
ItemSet 296864

Physical Damage Taken-
ItemSet 296850

Magic Damage Taken-
ItemSet 296849

Evasion
ItemSet 296852

Fast Cast
ItemSet 296855

Lunge
ItemSet 296866

If I *** up on something, please correct me. :x

Prolix and Oru torque are counterproductive for flash and foil, but it's alright for other buffs that you wouldn't use midbattle.

Spolia/opima have also the issue of enmity- which is why I selected Menhit for feet(magic burst+ is also nice since Lunge can be used that way).

The mdt is totally overshot.

Hecatomb feet+1 for ws are better.

And for requiescat I don't think chelona pants are a very good idea.

to clarify you should adjust the mdt set because of sheltered ring, embolden > shell 4 or whm shell V since it'll cap your mdt and you can use the slots for other stuff such as mdb. shadow ring, engulfer's cape etc.

Okay, I was wondering lol. Completely blanked on that. And yeah, Shadow Ring is obviously best for ring. :x Sorry for the durpy item sets at 5am lol

As for why I went with Chl. Trousers +1, there wasn't any other item with that much mnd+ on it. Next highest would be the NQ +8 legs.

Should use thaumas or abatteur for requiescat, the str- isn't very attractive.

Inferior due to reso requiring a lot of attack to be decent. And the da and accuracy make it even better.

I had the same question on my mind. It comes out at 4str and 5 atk vs 3 DA and 10 acc. It seems close, but I wanna say toci comes out slightly ahead just for the acc... but run does still have that atk deficiency to worry about. Spreadsheetists?

It's even more accuracy since there's 13 dex. I would say thurandaut for capped acc and toci for high evasive targets, but they're close in general.
