ATM I'm using RR VV Stout Arm trying to get as much Resolution damage as possible. I came to Rune Fencer thinking I could do things with a Great Sword like DRK could but I feel I was very mistaken. What atmas are best for RUN and what damage can I expect from Resolution?
For damage I personally run Razed Ruins, Gnarled Horn, Apocalypse. If no apocalypse, sanguine scythe works. VV and str atmas are very over rated, crit is where it's at.
I tried rune fencer in abyssea with the same GS my DRK uses and it never came close to my DRK's damage. Rune fencer isn't a pure DD, it's supposed to be a magic tank that just happens to have a GS.
Resolution has an attack penalty and it shows more on RUN because it has lower attack than a DRK. It can still put out nice reso numbers, just don't expect anything close to a DRK.
When it comes to abyssea and crit hit damage/rate and Pummel, it's going to be extremely difficult to beat, especially when using a WS that has an attack penalty, and does not crit hit at all.
Dual swords (especially now since you can dualwield Halchuinic swords on the str path, is pretty awesome. It gives you a crit hit ws to use with relatively high base damage.
However, the comparison was between Resolution and Rune Fencer to Stringing Pummel and Puppet Master.
You could also choose to use /DNC as a sub alternatively.
