Would only allow it to work with offhanded knives/short blades!
Most traditional/competitive fencing doesn't utilize an offhand weapon though.
Please everyone, do NOT speak about offhand... otherwise "too overpowered, BALANCE" is gonna happen x.x

You guys act like "balance" means everything is getting toned down all the time. Give it a rest people, please....

Well it's not talking about overpowered so much, they were talking more on the lines of said job needing said offhand to function.

I would much prefer Rune Fencer be a sword user and not a greatsword user like people are wanting. :|

Would be cool if they had a JA similar to the way Knight in FFV could double attack power with a 1-handed weapon by holding with two hands. Higher defense/parry rate without JA, improved attack with JA?

I am curious if Geomancer and Rune fencer would be added to relic/mythics/empyreans.
Then again; I've answered my own question, unless they're adding dnc blu etc to relics.
But if that didn't happen, would their be a new line of weapons similar in fashion to Relic/Mythic/Empyreans with this new expansion?

They could easily make rune a grip like item, allowing different runes for different effects maybe...MonkeyGRIP!!!

What Rune Fencer really reminds me of is Genesis From Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII where he was fighting sephiroth in junon. How he slides his hand over his sword to enchant it.

Holy freakin' cow. They're using my ideas that I posted on the FFXIclopedia forums a while back for Mystic Knight. I sent them an email back then too and they replied telling me what great ideas I have and thanks for playing. I feel appreciated now, lol.

That link goes to the ideas that I posted. I hope they add the job abilities that I mentioned, that would be rad.
BTW I'm not trying to take credit for this so don't give me crap about that, I'm just saying it sure seems cool that they seem to listen to us.

Rune Fencer | 魔導剣士
Épéiste runique
Runenfechter |
Quick with a blade as well as an incantation, these versatile duelists employ the power of arcane runes to sway the tide of battle both offensively and defensively.
 |  | | Click image to enlarge |
Rune Fencer Overview
Strengths
Their exceptional magic defense and elemental resistance put them squarely in the tank category, along with paladins and ninjas.
Two broad categories round out their runic arsenal: - Element-based runes add elemental damage to attacks and increase resistance to certain elements.
- Enchantment-based runes increase either the fencer's attacking prowess or their ability to defend.
Rune fencers will possess versatile abilities like one that cuts the duration of the next enhancing magic spell cast on them by half, but in turn amplifies the spell's effect 1.5 times, and another that erects a barrier that reduces magic damage.
Weaknesses
Acquisition
Unrevealed
Requires Seekers of Adoulin expansion pack.
