bard buffs cant cure cant DD no debuffs outside of elegy and requiem
cor buffs, has no real debuffs of its own can DD but can not cure
RDM used to be the jack of all trades last time I played with one in a relevent event it was 2010
GEO unresistable debuffs with many unique ones that all stack with other jobs can DD with T4 nukes and RA spells as well as buffs that are shared only between it and cor (well placed in tank PT for refresh bubble to the white mage or with APROPRIATE SUB up close in the frey)
BLM DD cant cure can do blind break and sleep

which of these mages can do everything you want geo to do

you want it to buff debuff support with cures and rival all other mages

all its buffs unlike say a whm and a sch stack I can have a geo defence boost on the PLD and a whm protect I cant have 2 protect 5's on the pld

all its debuffs stack so I can have dia 3 and geo defence down on the mob at the same time or I can even bio the mob and still have a defence or even attack down on the mob.

Why is it that you think geo cant play in a team as well as other mages or that its stuck bound to certain roles that it NEEDS to fill to be useful.
You seriously need to go back and re-read my post, seriously you are miss judging what i said and trying to make arguements that are not even necessary.

"I NEVER SAID GEO SHOULD BE GIVEN THESE THINGS" you mentioned above.
You are missing the entire point of my post, I compared a lot of traits between the mage classes and stated the downside of the job, Never did i say SE NEED TO GIVE US BLINK, STONESKIN, ETC.

Really No wonder you think I wanted a God mage, Sure if any classes could have every single mage class buff it would be Godly.. But I never asked for that!

Most of the comparison is based on why would you want Geo over "THESE JOBS THAT CAN DO THE SAME THING BUT BETTER?"
