Well one thing I know is you are going see a lot of Geo mules running behind people now. MP for real curing buff and enfeebs that can be cast and forgotten about and who knows what combinations people will come up with or how the job will grow in future updates.
All the cool dual/tribox kids on my server have empy bards + a sch or whm on /follow. Pretty sure geo will never be a decent mule job compared to the other options.

I kinda have to agree >_> and I was Sylph native! D: Not one of those, bitter, forcedfromfairy people!

90% of the server is HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE, I've met maybe 20 people who can play well (or at least, logically).

I said it before and I'll say it again.

Kawar is more known for making abysmal threads, not so much random posts in threads of any "significance" <-(using that term very loosely).
Anyways, can we get an intelligent feedback thread on GEO?

Geo does suck, but we're basically playing naked, unskilled and unmerited so threads like these are silly.

The simple fact that anyone is burning Geo or Run to 99 shows that they have no desire to learn the job. So trying to explain things to them is pointless.

On another note, I'm simply irritated that Geo is simply a buff job. Geomancers in every other ff game have been more like blu's but with their spells gaining power based on their surroundings and some spells being able to be used based on where they are standing. This would have been a lot more interesting than a 2 aura job with nukes that wont be anywhere as useful as a blm.
You know, this is such a load of crap. Just because someone leveled in a hurry doesn't mean they don't really want to play it. Of course, spending hours skilling up with a macro just so my spells can be fully effective totally doesn't show my interest in really playing it.

And frankly I'm rather happy whatever usefulness the job might have ISN'T dependent on their surroundings. Imagine being judged useful or useless just because this or that fight is in the desert vs being in a glacier vs being in a plain. Based on environment isn't practical for an MMO. That's why they added the directional magic stat bonuses instead.

Hey guys we're going to a cave then an open plain!
Sorry, my GEO spells suck in caves.
Oh, what about plains?
Yeah, I'm great in plains.
So you're crappy in one place, better in another? Seems practical!

That aside, burning a job to 99 has nothing to do with learning ***, keep using faulty logic based on years of Coribri teaching you to somehow tank event/HNM/boss monsters.

Pecking Flurry = Gates of Hades = avoiding AOEs by running = Salvage!

LOGIC!

Love the post lol " i leached a job in a day and it sux... It doesnt have phalanx and the Regen is really weak, Oh did i mention idk how to play it properly yet and there no AF or merrits yet & my skill is only 150 atm... This job sux " lmao

If it sux don't play it, i don't like to play brd but i didn't post a bard sux thread lol. Also you leached it in 1day, but you dislike the job you say?? At least you got +10 box opening skill out of it and thank god you didn't waist anytime playing the job..... God forbid someone do something other than pop boxes and watch TV all day to earn your job 99...

When in truth, it'll be us who burned GEO to 99 who'll master the job alot sooner than some scrub lvling the old, long way, since we'll have access to everything GEO has and can determine where it'll be good.

I think we have more brainless people at 99 cap then we did 75 cap. Theres people who can gear, understand and play a job well even if leached, wile leaching allows idiots threw the gate who haven't a clue and run around with 50skill wearing 5/5 Perle or teal... on a new job saying it sux... <3 Abysea as it brings good laughs to the table!

I wish they would have just waited another month or 2 and released some more stuff with the jobs.

There's still potential for the job, it way too early to judge. Hopefully there will be AF, Relic, and Emp armor. There will be new bells and other misc. gear they will likely add that has GEO based enhancements on them, and don't forget about merits. I'm sure there will be gear/merits that increase skill, increase potency, decrease casting time, Luopan PDT, and possibly Bells that increase the size of the Auras, and maybe even a Bell or Merit that lets you put down 2 different Luopans.

They haven't released merits / AF etc. with any new job. The reasoning behind this release structure is sound.

It's only sound because it's something they always do. Doesn't make it not suck :p.
