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

[Siviard]

Ok, I'm seriously confused by all this.

First off, this is the player in question here, Kiaru of Valefor. http://www.ffxiah.com/player/Valefor/Kiaru

This person has THF NIN DNC RNG and SCH at Lv. 99. All of which BENEFIT from having a Geomancer in a party. Yet, this person seems to have some sort of extreme hatred towards GEO. Why is this? Did a Geomancer steal candy from you as a child? Did a Geomancer bully you in Middle School? Or maybe something more serious? A Geomancer robbed you at gunpoint? Please help me understand why you hate GEO so when the jobs you have at 99 all benefit greatly from being in a group with a GEO.

Where are the forum mods?
Literally personal attacks + petty finding an outdated profile on another site and trying to use it as an ad hominem attack that has nothing to do with the discussion.

Mods? Hello?

Who said I was attacking you personally? I'm simply asking a question. That question is "Why do you have Ku Klux Klan levels of hatred towards Geomancer?" It's not that hard a question to answer.

And "outdated profile"? You have activity on there as recent as 12-22-2016 so I'd say that profile of yours is still pretty active.

Ah, well, name one job that DOESNT benefit from a GEO. Even a GEO benefits from another GEO. That's the problem with GEO.

You won't find anyone even on trivial content not wanting a GEO.

Do you need a geo for ambuscade? Absolutely not. will you see one in every. single. party. Absolutely. Half of them are running double GEO.

Hell the Frog was IMMUNE to GEO and every single party still had one.

Corsair's benefit from Corsairs and BRDs.

Do you see how what you said makes no sense? That isn't a "problem" - the problem here is just hating on Geomancer. It's funny how people initially said Geomancer would be worthless and no one would like them (especially because of how bad the initial wave of Geomancers were on Seeker's launch) now people are trying to get them nerfed into oblivion.

You mean like how people wouldn't be caught dead without a RDM/BRD/COR back in the day..?

Hell the Frog was IMMUNE to GEO and every single party still had one.

It's still a support job.

I'll be blunt: There must be something in Valefor's water to make the hate for Geomancer this severe...or there must only be 4 Geomancers on that server and people just can't have one for their party.

Your profile is up to date up until they ended support for LS community site. It wasn't a personal attack and it does pertain to the current discussion. You want Geomancer nerfed, however, all of the jobs you play benefits from Geomancer.

Your message works if you replace GEO with WHM too, by the way. Or Tank, for pretty much every meaningful content. News at 11, if you want to get party fast, tank, heal and support are the jobs you want since they are pretty much "reserved" spots as far FFXI and MMORPG goes.

Supports especially, it's like people don't remember about BRDs getting message as soon they logged.

GEO needs to hit all the mobs, it's risky as hell compared to cor, 4bst, pld

It's not that don't remember, they simply didn't play the game pre-abyssea or purposefully ignoring it to try to have an "argument" against a support class being a support class.

The way XIAH pulls profile information was through the community site beta, however guildwork is still very much active. Like I said before, I'm just guessing the hate towards Geomancer is that there's only a few to go around on smaller servers and "If I can't have a geomancer no one can" mentality is prevalent.
