    Geomancer vs Blue Mage

    Which do you think has a better chance between the two of these jobs of actually being added in this expansion or a future expansion.

    Geomancer:

    PROS:
    1.) Handbells work with the armory system
    2.) Need another DPS Caster
    3.) Uses the elemental properties of CNJ for dpsing which is currently only available to White Mage (Healer)

    CONS:
    1.) Environment Based nukes would take a lot of programming effort since its a different mechanic similar to BLU monster learning mechanic.
    2.) Cannot be a healer since that would make it pretty much identical to WHM. (and loltank)
    3.) Needs a unique niche which would be difficult to find. (BLM: AOE/Burst Nukes & SMN: Pet/DOT)

    Blue Mage:

    PROS:
    1.) Its awesome to use monsters ability against enemies.
    2.) Need another DPS Caster
    3.) Could potentially work as a tank or DPS
    4.) A caster DPS that is sure to have a different aesthetic than the current choices.

    CONS:
    1.) Monster Spell Learning is a new concept to the game who knows how difficult it would be to add this into the game, but I have a feeling it'll be much easier than terrain mechanics.
    2.) Tends to use a scimitar (sword) which is currently used by paladins/gladiators and we have too many sword wielders.
    3.) Potentially unfair to those without certain spells. (While plausible it's kinda of a ridiculous issue because the whole point of playing a BLU is to hunt and use monster spells.)

    Which do you think has a better chance of introducing their arts into eorzea, and which would you prefer?
