Since Geo Spells can not be resisted by monsters, and the effects stack with none geo spells of the same effect, I would hope that the geo form haste effect can like-wise stack and even go over the standard haste cap when stacked. :D Is this the case Gildrien / Camate?

It still remains to be seen just how strong the effect will be as well. I'm hoping it'll be at least 14% base with skill merits/gear, which would give 19% with the +5 bell, and (as long as Idris stacks to +15..) 29% with Ergon + Bell, allowing us to cap out magic haste with a Haste spell from /Rdm.Quote:

I'm not sure Gildrein and Camate stack with Geo-Haste. They will probably overwrite each other if you try to cast them together because it would be kinda op otherwise.
But I might be wrong. -

Greetings,
Similar to how the same type of songs and corsair rolls do not stack, Geo-Haste will not stack in the event that two geomancers use this at the same time. -

I'm pretty sure what they were asking was if Geo-Haste would stack with OTHER forms of haste, such as Haste/Haste II or Marches. They weren't asking if it Geo-Haste would stack with ITSELF, which would be ridiculous.
-
07-01-2014, 11:34 AMGenoxdYes, that would be ridiculous and obviously they weren't asking that because asking would just be stupid.Quote:

Well lets see, if it doesn't stack with other haste spells then it's totally 100% worthless and adds nothing to the job what so ever. In fact it detracts from the job because retard lazy people will want to use Geo-Haste instead of a useful buff/debuff so their mages can slack off and not haste DD.
If it does stack. Wait no sorry, it does stack. I don't even need to use if. -

About the only room for questionable implementation is "do Geo-Haste and Indi-Haste stack". If they do, that's got potential. If they don't, well, that's fine (capping magic haste isn't that hard and it leaves room for a second buff) but obviously not ideal.
Based on the track record with Geo/Indi, though, they will stack. -
07-01-2014, 02:10 PMPuckHey, this is SE we're talking about here. I wouldn't put it past them to make Geo/Indi-Haste only provide the exact same haste buff as the spell Haste/II.Quote:

I imagine that seeing as GEO can only use 2 buffs/debuffs at once, that this is only even going to be useful if it caps magic haste on it's own....
... and I can't see it being 43% haste -
07-01-2014, 07:12 PMMalitharWhat track record are you referring to? Indis and Geos don't stack together. AFAIK, they never have, but I tested it back maybe 2-3 months after SoA launched, and just retested with MAB, Regen, Refresh, Malaise, and +stat, and just as before, none stacked.Quote:

I've long since forgotten how the tiers progressed, and neither of the Wikis ever had the information, just the caps. Assumed it was +5 tiers, but idk about that either. Regardless, don't you jinx my hopes of another capped haste option! ;OQuote:

07-02-2014, 10:10 PMGoltanaBuukkiSilly. Geo/Indi do NOT stack. Tried Geo/Indi Refresh, GEO/Indi STR, etc. Only one icon appears and it only boosts your stats once. Pay attention to the icons on your status bar. When you receive a beneficial effect that is not Geomancy, it appears as "STR BOOST" (for example), or "Refresh". When you are given that same beneficial status effect through Geomancy, the description changes to "Due to Geomancy, you are receiving..." - In other words, Geomance is coded completely different from that of normal buffs and debuffs. However, the effects of Geomancy are not additive or multiplicative (You cannot use GEO-Refresh & Indi-Refresh" and expect to get both effects from both bubbles).Quote:

According to my tests of currently buffs and debuffs, and the current trend of geomancy + enhancing/enfeebling magic, they absolutely will stack.
I think its important to remeber the coding on these spells. GEO/Indi spells appear as "Geomancy". Corsair buffs appear as "Rolls". Bard buffs appear as "Song", and Enhancing Magic simply appears as the buff icon. So really, as long as you are using two or more different kinds of magic or abilities, the effects are indeed additive. -

07-02-2014, 10:38 PMMalitharAre we really back to mages that are too lazy/dumb to Haste? It's such a standard buff at this point, hell, it's always been a standard buff. Calling Geo's Haste useless unless it caps magical Haste on it's own without Haste is moronic. Your posts usually carry a bit more insight than that. Can agree with the limitations of the bubble, but that's more a design flaw of the job (which they've actively worked on), and if you do indeed need Idris to cap out magical haste, than -75% DT will go a good ways further to making that much less of an issue.Quote:

They haven't yet touched the "limitations of the bubble" in regards to Indicolure and Geocolure distance. Its still like 6' or something insanely small. Yeah, I know about WCompass, but, shouldn't that ability be on like a 5min timer and give GEO a different SP2? Or how about a Ring or piece of equipment that increases the range of Geomancy, similar to Luzaf's ring. I don't know how many times I am going to say this, but it needs to be improved a bit.
