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

PUP can tank that's true but they can also DD with pet ranger but the damage is not good enough. SMN doing 99,999 dmg and they can summon as many pet as they want as long as they have MP.
At this moment SMN is officially KING of FFXI. Beast master goodbye rest in piece...

First off, I'm calling BS on this for the simple fact that PUP has Dues Ex Automata. While SMN can replace out pets more quickly, they are way frailer than the PUP's Auto and the Auto can be buffed with the right head attached. But simply put: Deus -> Auto-Regen to Full -> Dismiss and you can summon a fresh auto with all it's HP, MP, near to no burden, and all the JA attachments ready to use instantly. >_> as for BST resting in piece, SE didn't change the DMG, just the range. BST is annoy as hell to play, but it is still VERY MUCH a power-house. I also have watched CORs deal out a crap ton of DMG from the safety of ranged as well, and yet no one bats an eye. Things are very much possible with a lot of jobs, you just have to have the right tools to do it.
