Geomancer

[BasicBlake]

That doesn't prevent them from getting spells/abilities that place persistent effects under themselves or their target, however. GEO getting their own Ley Lines counterpart isn't out of the question, nor things like creating persistent whirlwinds around their enemy or a regenerative pool centered under an ally. The dance partner effect could be cool too, though.

As an aside, I could very much see GEO having the similarity to BLM of being largely immobile (perhaps a channeling-based attack style, dealing more damage the longer they can remain still within their environment?), but having defensive and evasive tools to make up for it.

I would say out of all of the suggestion so far on the page the most likely to be implemented would be personal leylines as their form of terrain manipulation. Much more likely they any form of Geomancer teleport.

And not related to you but a previous page:

GeoKnight I think.... would be better concepts for other classes. Nothing about Geomancer so far in game has pointed the class in that direction so far. And while I know certain people will read this and start foaming at the mouth about how Dev's can do whatever they want, they aren't going to put that much effort into taking the class into that far of an extreme direction.

The bigger issue is that all Casters are ranged at heart, and will wear robes. While theoretically a bell mace is possible for the weapon anything else is just not likely. It's what we will see with any Healers too. Some sort of melee weapon in robes. Trying to give a Caster Maiming armor (if I recall what Dragoons use right) would be theoretically possible, but realistically unlikely. If we had some sort of melee Caster role it wouldn't be as odd.
