To the devs: Why won't you nerf Geomancer?

I think Shiyo meant GEOs typical support jobs are RDM and WHM. So if Haste is required you can Indi/Geo-Haste + Haste spell from sub to hit magical haste cap. Bubbles stack independently of everything else.

Becomes a moot point tho if your party's GEO refuses to cast it on anyone, which is the most common situation that I run into.

Yeah, but GEO spot??? No one in the days thought "I'm getting a BRD or RDM?" They were completely different kind of supports.

And yet, the bread n' butter party setup has not changed much from day1. Tank + healer + support + 3x DD (of some sort) has always been the go-to setup because it makes sense. There are exceptions/variations of course depending on what your target/goal is, but that is our foundation. The fact that that IS still the baseline means that we are all essentially competing for the same support spot. And the fact that most groups looking for the 2x support setup would prefer to take GEO+GEO over GEO+RDM or GEO+BRD should be seen as an indication that BRD/RDM both need buffs.
