'the same').

Therefore when someone is asking for a classic job that has obvious consistency, and we have none of it (at least available in an end game setting lol), you can see we have two different 'objects' even if they have the same name. If I call new sword looking thing a hammer, and you ask for a hammer (in obvious reference to.. hammers... lol), it would be disingenuous of me to say we have hammers when I can use my brain to realize what you want is not the hammer I've provided but a hammer from a different worldspace. Maybe when I add it I'll call it a Philips screw driver cause I'm cheeky, but I can still meet your desires- rather than telling you a lie "we already have it".

Therefore when I see "we already have that" I think "no.. you don't, that's pretty disingenuous". That said I doubt they intended it as such, but simply put we don't have Geomancer as they want it (where's the earth spells? Lol) we have Geomancer only in 'name' which is irrelevant when ultimately the object (content/body, not label) is the true relevance.
I mean if you want “consistency” with an existing job but don’t care what it’s called then point to geomancer then basically just play BLM, BLM with ley lines is the closest they would be able to get to the terrain system in geo anyway because of how static 14 is in terms of raid design
