    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.
    Really??? So I'm going to be able to stack para on top of para or slow on top of slow?



    Won't that cause the Balance to explode tho?

    Edit: Sorry for the sarcasm, thing's coming for this job just seem way over due at this point. I'm just tried of talking about them. Better melee gear tailor toward's a mage fencer/fighter type, enfeebling tweak's and some new spell's are sorely needed...... at least the healing thing got fix ^^

    He means that "Para sphere" can stack with Paralyze, or Slowsphere with slow, not that Slow/Slow II, or Para/Para II, will stack.

    Yea, I get that part. But that's not really what I'm referring too. We've actually been told in the past that certain mob's resistance to enfeebling "let's say para" was because being able to land the spell on a mob would cause a unfair advantage and make the battle's too easy. If I can find the post I'll do a link to it.

    I know what you're referring to, and the concern was on spells such as Silence and Slow, which had static values. The counter-suggestion was to give enfeebles more of a dynamic value based on skill, stats and mob level, in exchange for lifted immunities, however as you can see, no changes have been made as of yet.
