4.3: The Geomancers

[BillyKaplan]

On your point about Leveva, he went to learn how to heal, something Geomancers are not good at, which is why, we, the real astrologians had to be there to really heal the demon spirit.

He already knows how to heal as he too helped heal during the solo duties. He doesn't want to learn healing from Leveva, he wants to learn of the Diurnal sect. That's because what geomancers already have is similar to Nocturnal sect. ASTs aren't all about the pure healing, they can shield just fine. I'd say they shield better than Geomancers given how we basically saved the day by patching up their wards.

Geomancer is directly related to the natural flow of the earth which consists of using the earth as a source of energy

1. As I said before, they acknowledged that in the game thoroughly, with AST drawing that energy from other stars and planets while geomancers draw it from Hydaelyn - they admitted all these similarities which is why he wants to study from Leveva, see what he's missing. And White Mages don't tap as much into the elements as much as they do the life force itself. So again, geomancer doesn't bring anything new to the table
2. Everything else you said makes them an aoe dps, not a tank. Or a support dps. That would give them a right to exist, tie in with the existing lore (since they did need ASTs - healers - to help with everything), and leave DNC free to be a healer

wards (tanks)
