  • Where are the new job forums?

    Get on it mods.

    Also,

    Looking at the name “rune fencer” it is actually not a magic based job, as they will be consuming runes to gain special effects. To give a bit more insight into the actual name, I will share a quick Japanese lesson with you all. Red mage, black mage, and other “mage” jobs utilize the kanji
    “魔道士” which denotes a mage or wizard-type role. On the other hand, rune fencer in Japanese
    is “魔導剣士” which uses a slightly different kanji “魔導.” Both are actually pronounced the same way (madou) but are different in the sense that the latter is used to denote more of a sage-type character. With that said, it might seem to overlap with the image of red mage, but it is in fact completely different.

    On another note, for all of you who may still be wondering what the main weapon for rune fencer will be, as many has guessed it will be great sword. However, they will still be able to fully utilize one-hand swords as well.

    Attack wise, since they are using great sword, we are planning to have them deal higher damage than paladins. As a tank role though, generating higher enmity than your melee and other damage dealers with attacks alone is quite impossible, so we will be looking into other methods to gain enmity.

    In regards to their defensive capabilities, as was stated their specialty is magical defense and elemental resistance, but they will not be able to have all resistances enhanced at once and will have to use runes skillfully to enhance themselves.

            Rune Fencer may or may not be changed (since everybody insists on calling it Mystic Knight, even though the runes are as important to them as Ninja Tools to a Ninja), but for now they're sticking with it.

            Just in case, it wouldn't be too difficult to change the name of a sub-forum, would it?

                  I like Rune Fencer, but it doesn't really make sense for someone using a great sword. But then, the last job to get "fencer" plastered all over it was red mage.

                  Mystic Knight has much more flavor, but Feng Shui Soldier just sounds silly.

                    How about Feng Shui Warrior? Either way it's written 風水士 (Fuusui-shi) which means something like Feng Shui adept or professional or Feng Shui-er. XD

                    Although I have to agree their concept of Fencer is pretty screwed up.

                    - - - Updated - - -

                    PS > If you are wondering what kind of talent a 風水士 has think Li Shaoran from Sakura or those guys that appeared in one of the last arcs of the Rurouni Kenshin anime. They use feng shui and both the bell and the Luopan to create "magic" effects, though they are supposed to be directing and redirecting the energy lines of the earth or the Ley lines.

                    Etc. etc.

                      Except for the one time they made that Job Trait (which would work wonderfully with Great Swords, I'm sure) . . .

                          I would say "join the club," but I think you're a leader of it at this point.
