| Mocchi: Geomancer Merits Hello! This post is to inform you about the merits for Geomancer. The current plan is to introduce the following items as "Group 1" and "Group 2" merits. Regarding the exact values, since adjustments are ongoing, there is a possibility that they may change prior to implementation. Additionally, as long as we do not run into any major problems, these will be implemented on the test server update which will take place on Friday, June 14. Geomancer Merits

/sigh was hoping for a something that enhances indi spells :/
They all look pretty interesting to me! I guess it'll be a matter to see how beneficial the recasts are, but I was wondering maybe to do Ecliptic and Dematerialize for Group 1.
Group 2 has me a bit lost, maybe Radial Arcana for Mage PT? I don't know, we'll see! Really nice, thanks for sharing!

Goddamn it, SE, you let me down.
Buuuut...I would go with 5/5 Ecliptic Attrition recast, as well as Dematerialize 5/5 in Cure Recant, 1/5 Prime Zeal, and...4/5 Radial Arcana, assuming you'll be placed with the tank party. /le sigh....
The first merits category goodish but some of the second ones look iffy. I mean up to 50% fast cast to 1 elemental spell every 5 min, that is gonna be game breaking... I was hoping to get an ability to place Geo spells on targets. That would have been really useful since battle tends to you know shift and move around at any given moment. Cure recant and Prime Zeal looks like the useless ones of the lot. Does not seem like you need them really. But Mend Halation and Radial Arcana seem to be like they are going to be useful. As it stands I would go with Group 1: 5/5 Ecliptic Attrition/Lasting Emanation Recast and Dematerialize Group 2: 5/5 Mend Halation and Radial Arcana

Oh *** I read that wrong, scratch Cure Recant 5/5 and let's put that in Mend Halation instead

For now. >.>
Until at some point, there's a top-end naakual where Geo-Frailty won't even matter because...c'mon, we've seen everything, and it won't be a surprise to see it'll have some ridiculous DT- effect.

If an NM had a ridiculous -DT effect I'd argue that defense debuffs would be even more important so you can gank out the little damage you're capable of doing.

(6.3' and 7'). That's another thing, if it's already so similar to Bard, why not give us the option to boost certain spells via merits? 1% shouldn't be that game breaking for some of those spells. Just looked at the RUN merits and while some had potential, I feel they fall short of making the job useful. They really need to push out the AF for these two jobs already. Also!

I'm saying that Geomancer shouldn't just be doing debuffs, and I was hoping that it would have been able to give out buffs in better ways than it could do now- and right now it's limited to just Geo-Frailty, Geo-Torpor, and Indi-Refresh, right? My pessimistic side is in full force because Geomancer's enhancing options weren't expanded to keep it from being a dead job like RUN is.

YouTube Video Placeholder See, this is the stuff i'm talking about, and I'm not the only one thinking this way either I think you just don't know what you're talking about. Geo is far from being a dead job, it only has limited application in lowman content, but it's a very good job that is only waiting on gear with skill+.
[+]
I know very well what I'm talking about, I know it's an awesome defense/evasion debuffer as well as an awesome mage party buffer, but what about buffs for melee jobs or tank jobs? where is the buffing prowess geomancer could provide to them? BRD and COR get all the power in that, why not GEO?

YouTube Video Placeholder I'd imagine they are saving the aura range/spell buffs for new bells. These merits are lackluster at most. A JA to plant a geo on a mob/player would have been nice, though. So you want geo to compete with brd and cor buff for melee on top of being the best mage buffer and the best debuffer atm?

Asura.Ccl said: » So you want geo to compete with brd and cor buff for melee on top of being the best mage buffer and the best debuffer atm? On one hand I feel like I'm asking for too much, and the other hand I still think what geo has right now is not enough. Asura.Ccl said: » So you want geo to compete with brd and cor buff for melee on top of being the best mage buffer and the best debuffer atm? On boss mobs (extended alliance fights) they pretty much are the most efficient melee "buffer" job available. A lone GEO's Defense Down/Evasion Down to a mob is about as equivalent as Attack Up/Acc Up is to a player but affects the entire alliance and can be reapplied to the entire alliance almost instantly. Whereas if you wanted the same effects from a lone BRD/COR you'd have to constantly bounce around from party to party reapplying songs/rolls as needed. Granted they are technically called "debuffs"...a debuff is just another way to "buff" a players output. brd/cor should be rotating for boss at the very least. And are you calling angon/dia II buff too?
Like I said- options
 No job is likely ever going to replace a bard. Why demand more when GEO is currently a necessity for the most current content?

Geomancer group 2 is like the Wii Fit Trainer of FFXI Merits.

Quote: Job Ability: Mend Halation Recast Time: 5 minutes The Luopan will vanish and restore HP to party members within the area of effect. Additional merits increase HP recovery by 5% per merit. Job Ability: Radial Arcana Recast Time: 5 minutes The Luopan will vanish and restore MP to party members within the area of effect. Additional merits increase MP recovery by 3% per merit. Martyr and Devotion make a comeback...and get to be the only things you want to 5/5! Quote: Dematerialize Recast Recast is reduced by 20 seconds per merit. Not exactly pleased with the merits...but meh, merits are hit and miss for all the jobs. |
