Geomancer Spells and Abilities (Repost)

Geomancers


Geomancy
"Geomancy" refers to magic that manipulates the lifestream.
Geomancy spells cost MP in the same manner as other spells.

* Offensive geomancy spells only affect targets for which the geomancer has enmity.
* Geomancy spell effects stack with those provided by spells, songs, and phantom rolls.

　

Two Types of Geomancy Spells
Geomancy spells are divided into two categories, each of which has their own area of effect.
Indicolure spells
The Indi- family of spells creates fields of energy known as a "colure" centered on the caster. These fields provide a variety of effects.

Geocolure spells
The Geo- family of spells creates a mystic conduit known as a "luopan" in a target area. The luopan emanates a colure centered on itself, providing a variety of effects.

*Geocolure spells may only be used if a player's main job is set to Geomancer.
* Indicolure and geocolure spells causing the same effect do not stack.
* Just as with sphere and tube spells, the effect is lost if a target leaves the area.

　

Luopans
Luopans possess their own pool of HP, which depletes over time.
Luopans will disappear once their HP reaches 0.
Luopans cannot be damaged by direct attacks, but area of effect abilities will still harm them.
Luopans may not be moved after they have been placed.
Luopans may not be healed or granted other abilities outside of a limited range of geomancer-specific abilities.

　

Handbells
Handbells may only be used by geomancers and are equipped in the ammo slot.
If a geomancy spell is cast with a handbell equipped, the caster's handbell skill will increase in addition to his geomancy skill.

The handbell is a critical weapon in a geomancer's arsenal, as the numerical effect of geomancy spells and the HP of the luopan are derived based on a total of the geomancer's geomancy and handbell skills.

Doesn't look like it'll make a good sub for anything (Better than BRD, but still a bit over specialized), but looks solid.

[Horadrim]

It seems they also get Tier I through Tier IV Nukes.

[Shibayama]

They also get Aspir and Aspir II, - that's it as far as spells already available.

[Mighto]

Am I the only one who thinks GEO Spells are overly Expensive? Its like 8 Million Gil when you wanna buy all new Spells. Thats a little much I think.....

[Demon6324236]

Agreed, the NPC prices are insane, I understand wanting to drain gil from the market but if none of these are actual mob dropped spells then you are taking 8Mil out of the market per player that levels GEO, and that is a lot of players, and a lot of gil, leaving the market very very soon, which will cause a very big problem economically.

I would not worry too much, no one is going to bother with this job at its current state. Completely wasted party slot at this point and don't bring much to the table, at least not just yet. And if it does indeed a capable job that is on par with the other 2 buffers, SE will come back and adjust it, lol, I am hoping for the best adjustment but who am I kidding...

I find it asinine that people keep saying tihs. I've yet to meet a single person with their Geomancy + Handbell skill capped, and last I checked your skill has a huge effect on the potency of your spells.

[Toioiz]

My skill is about 65 each (130 combined) less than cap, but on BG there are already people with their skill capped, that have the values for the buffs. It doesn't appear to change the general belief the job still needs a lot of help.

[Delvish]

Don't forget two things. 1. The job has very unique debuffs that probably haven't been thoroughly tested yet. 2. Go find a BRD and ask them how many special pieces of equipment they use for their songs. For GEO, we don't have merits for the skill (I think), merits for the job, AF/Relic/Empy that will undoubtedly carry several skill+ bonuses on it. The job is in its infancy and needs time to grow. What you're looking at is a naked job and no fantastic gear yet to support it.

Not saying it doesn't need help -- doesn't mean it is completely useless.

Meh, but whatever. After 10 years you'd think I'd be used to how the FFXI community works.
