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

[Zeargi]

Don't even try to pull the same shit.

SMN is the broken job now. period.

Just because you think it isn't, doesn't mean anything.

Geo was broken > everyone says "nuh uh!".

BLM was broken > everyone says "NUH UH!"

SMN is broken > your answer "nuh uh!"

Why is it that the people that play THF were the ONLY job in FFXI history that were willing to admit when their job was broken? It's pathetic you can't admit the obvious.

Because it's not broken, plain and simple. You can claim it all you want that it is, but it takes a crap ton of gear to make SMN work. You need to have BP- 1 and 2 for the first 2 time limits, and then Favor+ and Max Skill to go pass a 3rd Timer boundary (Which is still 21s per Rage). You also have to have BP DMG, MAB, MACC, ACC for your Pet depending on which Bloodpact you have to use. Then the MP to cast it and sustain it if you happen to have to switch out the Prep Gear for whatever other thing you might have to be doing. Not to mention the Fast Cast, MP+, Skill+ for Wards, and such. The only "broken thing" is the SMN Astral Conduit which can only be used every 45m-1h. It's people that don't play the job that have zero clue as to the real depth of what it takes to play it. The PUP PLD Auto can tank the Ambuscade Intense Mobs, does that mean it's broken? No, It means it's being played by someone that know how the job works.
