Geomancer

[Sheldinn]

I know a lot of people expect them to be healer cause of the npc appearance but personally I think they'd be either dps caster or melee (they'd be a sort of melee magic wielder) based on their appearance in other ff titles.

To me something makes Geomancers unique visually is their use of vines, plants, water, lava, and sand among other things. Many of them certainly fall under the various elements as far as damage type but are still a refreshing break from the overlapping spell themes of most casters.

Eh, I don't agree with Geomancers as just a reskinned White Mage in terms of how it would look. Especially with the decreased use of Wind/Earth (Water has been negligible for ages) and an entirely different gimmick (presumably based around stationary effects or something else) they could make Geomancer's stand out. Given the themes involved there isn't really much in the way of a sensible new healer that isn't likely to step on the existing ones toes to some extent.

Totally going against any reason.

But a Geo tank would be awesome. Basically spend your time building up armor/shield of rock around you, as you keep having it whittled away. Have a weapon that is shifting around, changing form to what you need in the moment.

Not that it would ever happen but a Geo tank is the only way I could ever get into tanking probably. xD

I would love a Geo tank. But I don't see it happening. DoM is going to get to be healers and DPS. And sadly not even two types of DPS like DoW has.

I think geomancer would be cool to have, but would rather it be a dps class. A bell as a weapon would be interesting, as well as being able to control the weather or terrain. Like being able to make a mini rain cloud, pelt the enemy with hail, grow trees/make tree roots stab monsters, or create a small tornado. It's a little similar to cnj, but just give the class a unique playstyle and change the moveset to look aesthetically different but still look nice.

I'd be all for a Geomancer as a caster DPS. Utilising wind/earth and especially water as offensive spells.
I'd also be for a Time Mage caster DPS too, it'd be a neat way of reintroducing time magic without stepping on AST's toes as a healer.

I could definitely see Time as a Caster. I feel like there are lots of things they could do for DoM that would be fun to explore.

Someone put up a new take on a Geomancer kit that I think is really interesting! Would be fun to play if we got something like this.

Geomancer lore is added with the new peacock mount in the mogstation via its description.

Pretty sure Geomancer is the next healer. If its a dps class thats fine too but if the next expansion doesnt have a healer then.... well 6.0 will have to shake up the healers quite a bit eh.
