Geomancer, Do you want it?

[Bita]

*high five* ^____^

This is suppose to be a discussion about Geomancers -.-

[Zenaku]

That would help lol. I just don't see it working out very well if they didn't have something like you said (allowing you to call elements on demand) - or that they didn't actually rely on nearby terrain (but that's one of the core points of geomancer).

Although I think people want scholar as a job too.

Perhaps if they can summon in basic elements by force? Simple draw fire to the ground* and then cast ball on the fire to turn it into a molten ball..

That is less about terrain and more about just creating your own spells though..

*really wish SE uses aoe placement and not auto target - you can do a lot more placing stuff yourself.

Will not all jobs need to have aoe placement geo and sch could be the first two jobs that can do this. Sure Geo wont have strong terrain placement and then SCH would have all the terrain placement that anyone touching would gain from it. Like rain terrain placement could help WHM with water spell and cure spell. Fire terrain can help out DRG to do there 15min and help BLM cast more powerful Fire dmg

I mean that just a idea they could come up with something really dumb or something better let's just see what happen i don't see SCH or GEO being releasing anytime soon maybe 3-5years from now. Seeing how people want to see RDM,NIN,SAM, and other jobs more then GEO/SCH but at least one day we get them

{Can I have it?} Yes please, and thanks for asking!

lol /shrug It's hard to explain, isn't it? Geomancers are coming to FFXI soon so you should try it out first.

Not talking about xi. Talking about GEO in ARR.

I'm reserving my judgement until I see how it plays in FFXI, since it will be the first MMO version of it. I like the Job generally, but I think XIV is being made too open ended to really support that kind of casting mechanic.

this. It (may) could work with XI since XI pace slower than XIV

Well, let's see what your topic is saying...

Topic: Geomancer

This is probably the coolest class in the FF series and does not get enough recognition. I think Geomancer should be added in ARR during the second wave of new jobs. I have some ideas and sketches in my head that i may post later but for now i am curious to see how many actually want Geomancer. I understand that many are looking forward to Samurai, Ninja, Theif, Corsair and what have you, but lets have a Geomancer thread.

That's all what you can explain about Geomancer...? Oh, it's your fault for putting other jobs into this thread so we were screaming for Red Mage.

It's partly why SE said there's no current plans for Blue Mage, since Blue Mage and Geomancer are the two unique mages that tend to have some difficulties in design.

Elexia is correct, it's hard for SE to think what to do with ARR. For Blue Mage, it's so not ready yet even we need more monster's skills first before they can do that.

Now back to the topic. I just researched and tried to understand what the hell would that Geomancer affect the online experience?

ge·o·man·cy

Noun
Divination from configurations seen in a handful of earth thrown on the ground, or by interpreting lines or textures on the ground.

This... Hmm... It would be annoying if you (as a Geomancer) can change the ground even without our permission. I think it would be a good idea for instanced dungeons. Like it's impossible to walk through the lava so you can change it to (freeze one...?)

Or whatever mobs's weakness (fire for example) you can change the ground/weather from winter to summer!

That's all what I can think. =/

I love Geomancer, and would love to see it in the game. Though Before that, I'd like Red Mage, Puppetmaster, and Thief. >.>

You're very snippy, aren't you? As I recall, Geomancer was my favorite class in FF3. It's a mage class whose abilities not only depend upon it's level, but also upon what kind of terrain or weather is going on. So it's abilities change depending on the area and upon what ground it's standing. It's very interesting and tactically challenging that way.

Care to toss me a link to YouTube? I am about to give up with this thread.
