Why Geomancer?

Seriously, what is with all the "GIV GEOMANCER NAO" talk? What's so great about it?

Discuss.

Some holdover from XI no doubt. I personally want to see Red Mage, cause they were awesome in the previous FF games I've played

It's always made sense to me, considering Conjurer's lore as a manipulator of nature.

Me too and I like WHM so a dps 'sister' would be nice.

that's because we need a class for Dancer job.

Geomancer off conjurer makes sense. Although personally I want dancer as a melee healer, especially now that rogue is announced.

I think there's a lot of 'give me xxx job now!' groups. Some want rdm, some want sam, comes down to who cries the loudest. At least now the ninja people are out.

The weird thing is if you've played the Monk Questline, everything Monk learns is from the land.

I was before saying that Geomancer should land on CNJ, but honestly at level 40 MNK PGL seems to be the actual Geomancer candidate in terms of classic Geomancer lore in FF.

I see CNJ moreso acquiring Sage or Green Mage

I have never seen anyone been this wrong on these forums.

Everyone wants SAM, doh! xD

No but seriously, the cries indeed are frustration. Maybe they should give more hints on what is coming?

Did you play Geo on FFXI? All it was was cast spells on itself which put a bubble around you that buffed the party if they were standing near you, you could also cast luopan on stuff which was an aoe buff or debuff on a target. Other then that it had a handful of blm spells.

Its not a healer at all.

I don't want SAM. Barf that noise.

Nothin to do with XI. I quit playing it before it was rolled out. It's absolutely to do with Final Fantasy Tactics. Mmmm yes geomancer~

That and it feels like it makes good sense coming off the conjurer class given the attunement with the land.

QFT

Now can we have it along with dancer please ?

Thanks

One thing is name and desing style similarities, but another is to be an exact clone of previous incarnations.
Geomancer could perfectly become a healer in this game thanks to the CNJ lore but it will need a main class so CNJ stays as lvl 15 and he doesnt branch into 2 healers from level 30.

The whole Elemental lore serves for Geomancer just perfect, cause their Geomancy is also called Elemental. This is our chance to also get a class which plays a mayor role with elemental atributes, like "X element buffs" and "X element resistance" as well as healing.

Oh, and remember, Geomancer is a killing melee machine in FFT xD

Depends ^^ in GBA version it was Fencer, the absolute killing machine (RDM coming slightly on par due to their double magic, and assassins, because ultima).

There is only one FFT you Heretic!!!!111!1!!o1neone!!1!!1

-Now, being serious, i was talking about The Lion War, in which, Geomancer is a melee DPS that out forms everything and everyone at it but Ninja and Monk. (In fact a Geomancer with Two-Hand from Ninja is like... omfg...)

I had understood you :p

Though Meliadoul as her main class totally overpower anything else (in my personal experience for this game :-) ), dual wield geomancer was a beauty to watch. I think I only liked the dancer more than that (and Meliadoul, but that chick is totally out of the "who do I like best" contest. #1 every time)

I haven't seen anyone talk about geomancer...where do you see all this talk about geomancer?
All i see is *give dancer/puppet-master* I honestly don't understand the hype about those 2. Dancer would be like bard...DPS with some useful dances, you can do occasionally. It wouldn't be anywhere near as useful as in XI, because you'd only have tops 5 dances. Probably 3, as with MNK fists, and 4 with BRD. Puppet master would just be like SMN (same difference) ppl always seem to forget that this is NOT XI...what worked in XI, doesn't work in XIV, because of restriction of how many skills we get.
And how much sense does it make to have dancer as a healer, anyway?


About Geomancer....yah, DPS job for CNJ...(We can have this)
We might see that for expansion. I'd expect them to add a bunch of classes/jobs, then. They did mention adding new healer/tank in exp, we don't know anything else atm.
But i would guess they will add the most wanted jobs, like RDM, SAM, etc. Hopefully 1 new job for each class. They could add tank jobs to PLG and LNC.

But uhm, about GEO...in tactics, it had lots of debuffs, and such? Maybe it would be something along the line of Crowd-Control-DPS...but that's not very different from ACN.
CNJ already has slow, and knockback, and dots...So GEO could get something like def/res breaks...
But GEO would probably be way to overpowered...I mean, they could go all INT for DPS, then cleric stance, to heal; CNJ has cure I-III, Medica I,II, enhanced SS/prot, combat res, boosted cure/damage.
So basically you could be both DD and healer (though yes, heals would be nerfed a bit by cleric stance)...but maybe that would be a bigger incentive for ppl to pick up healing :)
Your MP would disappear quite quickly though, haha. But that would make BRD with Ballad, quite useful. Or take a pt with SS-MNKs, and Paeon.
