Geo Equipment Thread

Oh, hi.

Hi. :3

ItemSet 256246

Screw you AOE, these melees are getting Indi-Buffs!

Hirudinea Earring can be equipped by GEO for the drain/aspir set.

Thanks, added.



Added in and credit given, you buff those melees!

These are also nice for the Melee Arsenal:


augments:
DMG+3, Weapon Skill Damage+10%
TP Bonus +100
DMG+3, Store TP+15

Don't forget about dalm +1 for mdb and refresh 1 on the pdt/mdt indi set! I would like to suggest that gear slots that are unoccupied due to the absence of af/relic/empyrean gear be filled with either a stronger melee set, or a conserve mp set for geomancy spells. Nares cap and hedera cotehardie are probably already in your standard gear you'd carry anyways. You can simply add austerity belt and be done with it, or go overboard imo with the smaller 2/3/4 conserve mp choices if you are looking at ways to fill up your inventory. Quite a few geo spells cost upwards of 300 or more, and the ability to quickly change geo spells on the fly is certain to be a boon. Conserve mp is obviously a fairly weak trait, but given the lack of better gear I say go nuts :)

Added the Dalmatica as an alt choice. As for the Conserve MP idea, if you have the inventory space it doesn't hurt, but I'm hoping AF and some more bells come out soon enough. It was more to remind people to put the bell on, and that you can take it off for other spells without sacrificing TP.

Edit: 615 combined skill atm, potency testing on the spells I have will hopefully start soon after I cap.

A Thrifty alternative to Chelona +1 for Fast Cast Feet (Fast Cast +3%, not a bad alternative for Dark Magic feet too I believe):

Spurrina Nails better than Veikr Pumps, and Fea's cuffs replace hieros mitts for both tp sets listed.

Updated again, thanks guys.

Magic crit:
ItemSet 295630
Legs go with m.crit dmg+10%, crit rate 44%.

Idk if it could be better to use a body with int.

Incoming debate between this and Saevus



Alternatives for Nuking:

Geomancer Mythic:

Fortuna
D 70 Delay 267 Geomancy Skill + 25
Reduces Luopan Damage Taken V
Augments "Geomancy"
"Conjunctio"
Aftermath: Inc. Mag. Acc./Mag. Atk. Occ. attacks twice or thrice

Conjunctio (Mythic Weapon Skill)
Converts a portion of damage dealt to Luopan HP. Damage varies with TP.

saw it coming/10, but would read again!

I don't have one to provide, but it may be a nice idea to create a hp+ set for life cycle

While it's not something I'd use given that Life Cycle is based on current HP (meaning I'd have to put all this on, lock it, then cure to full), this is what I was able to throw together for those who are interested. Replace the hands/waist based on your race.

ItemSet 296543

For an idle set, the new Orvail robe would also be an option since its 2 MP tic refresh

I also just realized, wouldn't Morrigan's Coronal +1 > Magavan Beret for Hexa?

The Orvail Corona looks to be a good alternative for Realmrazer.

Thanks for the good work there! Now combine all that into a nice xml, pls =)

On a more serious note: It's nothing major but GEO actually gets to use Cheruski Needle, so that would be great for Hexa.

Has anyone planned an Enfeebling set for GEO yet?

bokwus robe / bokwus hands/ bokwus feet/ are the best nuking pieces atm @ rank 10-15, soothsayer staff too @ rank 5+

bokwus robe + serpentes hands/feet makes a nice refresh set.

chelona hat can replace robeus head
bokwus robe >Krabat Jacket btw it's very easy to obtain too

My geo gear was almost entirely copy sch.xml>rename it geo.xml

Something like this should do:

ItemSet 304419

I was actually curious about this, does Soothsayer actually beat out the ToM Staves? Wanted to be sure of this before I went and wasted 30k Plasm/Bunch of time on Trials.

SCH Staff Math

According to Sawtelle it doesn't for Blizzard 5 even at rank 10, but I haven't played with the numbers for lower tiers, -ra spells, or post Elemental Magic update as I've been kind of on a FFXI break/(very) slowly writing a GEO guide.

Edit: I should be back on to get my GEO AF.

Pretty sure it'll beat out ToM across the board post-update.

What augments are we looking for on Robe/Staff? M.AB on the body, M.acc on the staff? Or just full M.ab on everything? Just wondering because it seems like everything is resistant/evasive these days or is the M.acc on the listed nuking set enough for new content?

Seems like impact is popular for bosses and I must confess I know little about the mechanics of it. I see wiki says it's elemental magic and it sounds like if it lands at all you get -20% stats, and duration is determined by resistance? I know we're not casting impact as a nuke so much as a debuff but still I'd like to get the maximum performance for my mp. On megabosses how much ele skill and m.acc should I be stacking vs how much mab?

I was thinking something like:
ItemSet 305026

What set are you guys using?
