Geomancer design confusion.

I can easily see a SCH-esque revival for GEO in the near future.
But I think the problem with Geomancer lies within the nature of the job (pun not intended). Do we need really need what is basically an MP based Corsair with weird mechanics right now?
Answer is no, we don't. The only solution I can see, along with an overhaul like the one SCH received, is to create events in which we can use GEO's costant buffs. Which would basically mean slower battles with less "YOU DEAD!" moves and everything that comes with them.

The expansion is only a few days old, and SoA is not an add-on like ACP, ASA, AMKd'E and Abyssea were. It takes time to build up and show what it really is about.
We just got to Adoulin's door, what's behind it.. we have no idea.

Well, while being bored and skilling up geomancy and handbell skills, I did some google translates on a couple of Community reps replys in the Japanse Geomancer forum. And something interesting is that Geomancers debuffs look to be meant to stack with normal debuffs. Might not be enough to get Geo a slot, but it would help once things get worked out.

To be fair, a lot of people forgot how real Expansions were given the design of "expansion packs" in other MMORPGs nowadays.
