Geomancer, a magical tank.

[Eloah]

I gotta say, reading the list and the class... it does look very solid! I like a lot of it's abilities, they seem cohesive, and everything falls into the correct place for the most part in terms of damage mitigation. My only complaint is that you stole some blue magic and they want it back.

Otherwise, this seems like a solid tank-role idea with it's own flavor, it's own statistical lean(Seems to be more on mitigation as a whole than most tanks, with a lot of balancing CDs and resources as a whole- you're given a lot of active tools), and it's own gimmick(Shields!). Numbers might need to be adjusted, but I think this one is pretty well-made.

Thank you for the feedback, yeah potencies may need to be adjusted, that will be par for the course, but those for the most part are minor adjustments. As you, said I tried to make it as balanced as I could with the other jobs, but still have its own flavor. As for the BLM spells, I think White Wind and Aqualung are the 2 "main" names I borrowed, but names can always be changed, lol. But as of right now FXIV does have some BLM names in the game in the form of Mighty Guard and I think Tri-Disaster, but don't quote me.

What if Geomancers are like... the royal guard to the elementals of Gridania? The conjurers and padjali white mages are their mouthpiece and commune with them to send their message to the forest inhabitants, but I'm sure that naturally a select few of them are charged with guarding the elementals directly from possible threats- a small enough group to be blessed with their own soul stone, and the limited ability to shape the world around them to their will with the power and blessing of the elements, in order to directly impart the will of the elementals upon others and defend them from harm.

As for the "pseudo" lore you mentioned you semi almost came up with what I thought up. I was gonna say maybe they could be a magical art recentlly discovered in Othard, that is akin to Conjury, Since Geomancer if based on Feng Shui which is a Chinese art form , making it fitting as an Eastern Job over a Western one.

But I thank you for your post and hope to see more people express what they think, XD.

I had some thought about that too, which was why I based the rotation for my Geomancer concept off of the Wu Xing.

That also brings up the best approach to the possible storyline, which could stem from the fact that different spellcasting styles can stem from one source (i.e. elementals, the void, etc.).
