What can a Runemaster do in a keep defense?
Keep defense is one place where runemasters shine. Let the AE spells fly and cause havoc among any attackers in range. Nearsight enemy casters and healers. Use GTAE to hit the people attacking your keep doors. A runemaster can get a great deal of realm points in a keep defense. There are a couple of things to watch out for in a keep defense, though. Don’t stand too close to the keep archers (see the note in keep attacks, about using archers for AE targets). Be aware of assassin climb points in keeps, too. It’s helpful to have a runemaster with GTAE to keep climb points clear (it will destealth assassins, so they will have to run or die). And, never stay visible for longer than it takes to cast a spell. Even better, cast only when you can quickcast, once every 30 seconds. Hide behind the ramparts until quickcast is available. Hit your quickcast key, then move and cast your spell, and hide again. A dead runemaster gains no RP.
