As far as party support goes for geomancer, you can imagine it to be somewhat like the roles for bard and corsair. We would like players to utilize geomancy in conjunction with currently existing spells/songs/roles so that each effect supports the party more and more.

Also, there are some players who are concerned that by having enfeebles that are not resisted, red mage and other enfeebling magic will be useless moving forward. This is by no means the case since the development team is planning to make geomancy and currently existing enfeebling spells stackable. Instead of worrying about which one to use, players are encouraged to use them together to create a more powerful effect.

Additionally, in exchange for geomancers possessing an advantageous field that cannot be resisted, the effects themselves will be weaker than the effects of enfeebling spells from red mages and other jobs.
Camate my worry is not that GEO will take RDM's place due to enfeebling not stacking. It is that the 2 magic fields RDM holds highest are its enhancing magic & its enfeebling magic, this is yet another job to do this job though. Also, RDM is getting no updates still, it seems as if these jobs have been taking away work that could have been done for RDM, and RDM is actually giving up its rule over enspells as being a job specific type of spell.

Can you also elaborate on how enfeebling magic is being thought to change? I am curious, because I see few ways this could be changed to directly enhance RDM while not enhancing WHM, BLM, and SCH's ability to enfeeble as well, and keep them as the real blocker from us being needed for such a thing.

In general, Camate, can you please at least give RDM's hope and tell us, are there any changes planed or even being considered for RDM directly? Or are we to place our hopes in the update to enfeebling magic which could easily benefit the other enfeeblers just as well?
