Geomancer

[BigMac]

Hello all

This will be only my third post on these forums I think so please go easy on me.

I have been thinking about this for awhile and about DOL. I am not sure how many people would agree with me but I feel DOL need a bit more than stone throw. It would allows us to take a greater part in the treasure map and the hunting of that treasure which is planned for 2.0 other than being the official map holder.

I thought along the lines of Geomancer, I mean who knows the land better than those who work it. Also giving them a basic attack combo or two

Combo 1 > combo 2 > combo 3 ( 1 > 2 >3 could be a melee combo )
Combo 1 > combo 4 (combo 4 could be a slow or a bleed giving some variety to melee so it is not always 1>2>3 )
Combo 5 > combo 6 ( I thought 5 & 6 could be stone throw > wrist flick )

Also give them Terrain which cast's an elemental spell depending on the environment around you and maybe "High Terrain" which is based on the current weather effect

And trimming down the gather skill we currently have so we do not have Lay of the Land 1 - 5 cluttering the UI.

I by no means want them to be among the same power as DOW and DOM but simply allow DOL to protect themselves and nor do I want this Geomancer job to be easy to obtain.

Something along the lines of all DOL at max , maybe 2 DOW and 2 DOM or 1 DOW/M
as well as a quest line like that of the new jobs and some gathering challenges.

As for Armour there could be another quest to gain the Geomancer hood something along the lines of the picture below which maybe only took up a head or head / body leaving the lower part of the gather AF showing to distinguish between which gathering class you play, after all you will still be a DOL at heart and will still be doing so as a Geomancer. Using the Geomancer hood would be a choice between the improved gathering stats of the AF or the improvement to say "Terrain" that the hood would give.





Thank you for your time anyone who read this

Hello, just for your reference this section is for suggestions about the website and forums, not the game.

That aside, I'm sure you're suggesting geomancer because it is coming out on FFXI. I would personally prefer that each game takes its own direction and not implement a job in one game just because the other one is.
