WTB Conjurer Geomancer Job.

[RonPierce]

I just wanted to say I feel like the Conjurer class would be really fun if it had a Conjurer/Thaum Geomancer class... I already enjoy stone slinging with cleric stance, it'd be really cool to have a geomancer more focused on just that, geomancy and using earth, storm, and water effects as a pure dps class. Anyone else think this would be pretty fun?

Seems like their spells would fit pretty well with things like:
Stone
Blizzard
Aero
Fire

The only thing that really throws this off is that Conjurer naturally has healing spells, so I'm not sure how that'd be okay lore/design wise, but overall I think it could be fun.

Geomancer is the best choice actually, they even tease it in a way, since we don't have aero 3 nor stone 3.
nor any other water spell outside the bump. getting the aero 3 and stone 3 with some damage spell from water and you get your geomancer jobs from conjurer.

Exactly, I was healing on my conj earlier but not really needing to do so too much, and it felt like it'd be a really fun nuke class. A FEW things are a little strange as to how they'll handle in the future like Cleric stance (no dps class wants to have a buff up 24/7 in order to be the role they are, it just seems offputting) but we'll see how they handle it because it seems like every class will need it if they plan on giving DPS jobs to healers and tanks in the future.

for GEO (and RDM) to work, SE needs to figure out how they're gonna handle hybrid classes. WoW lets hybrid DPS have some decent, usually proc-based, instant cast off-healing... but i'm not really sure if that would translate into this game well. maybe the GEO soul crystal could make freecure proc off of stone or aero ticks or something. that's something else they're going to need to flesh out -- having just 5 new abilities with no other changes to other abilities isn't gonna cut it with some jobs. honestly, i wish the current jobs added more varied abilities/traits. right now jobs dont feel like they leave a lot open for other classes... GLD for example would need to change a LOT if it was going to branch into anything other than two tank jobs due to all of the defensive CD's they have.
