Geomancer: Findings and Mechanics *Needs More Handbells!*

[Garaku]

If you respond to the blue !! fast enough, you'll get a Geomancy skill up.

[chichicha]

Yeah but GEO was designed with a "pet" that never grabs hate, SMN wasn't.

To tell you the true, GEO with pet will have hate !!!
I was in exp pt, low man, RUN died, while I had put a Geo-Poison next to the mob.
The mob didn't attack my Pet, but come to me straight and killed me right to my face ; ;

[Trumpy]

How does one "respond" to a blue !!, click the reservoir again? I'm not sure if serious. Ive only done 2 reservoirs (cause konschatt was bugged for me)

[Kumbai]

You press enter when the Blue !! appears.

That's my point. GEO's Luopan was never meant to grab hate from the beginning and it's barely a pet. On the other hand Summoner was designed to have the pet tank and get most of the hate but with this new update they nerfed their DD generated enmity and didn't bother to lower the enmity you generate through JAs. The result is that you'll constantly have a monster on your ass if you even attempt to do anything at all.

They need to make geo buffs alliance wide if they aren't.

Anyone know if this is the case with GEO on Reives or Campaign Battle, like SMN & SCH buffs?

[fantasticdan]

Accession buffs hit everyone in campaign?

[Draylo]

Only if hit npcs.

[TheDangerousDave]

So can GEO do DEF down, Attack up AND STR up or only any two of them at one time?

[Kumbai]

Yeah. They have a wide range of up and down spells (have a look at Toths opening post for a full list). They can have 2 active at one time: one is sphere around the GEO, the other is sphere around a luopan which is a static pet that slowly decreases in health.

[TheDangerousDave]

If it can do all 3 of those at once then it would be a good DD support, the only problem then is that it's static so it would be limited to stuff like VW only

You can only have 2 things up at the same time so no, it can't do all 3 at once.

[Kumbai]

I'm nearly capped on skill so I'll hit up some from of PVP (been like 6 years lol, will have to find out how to!) and do some proper figure testing. Will be interesting to see the potency of the def down/poison etc.

[Treize Kordero]

I haven't played GEO yet but I was thinking for a future job adjustment to allow the Luopon to follow the mob if you cast it on the mob.

I'm thinking you target the mob, throw the Luopon at it... and when the mob moves it will move with it. Kinda like a sticky grenade. Sound like a good idea?

Keep the current option as well too for front line buffing.

[LidenbokValour]

How are you skilling so fast? I'm only at 400 and something and it's going up so slow with food

[Chamaan]

I've noticed that as you go up you can't just spam Indi-Poison and Voidance. Gotta use level appropriate spells. Wastes a lot of MP but skills come much easier.

[Heslon]

I guess spamming geo-debuffs on aby mobs would be the fastes way to skill up? :O

[Trumpy]

a LS mate claimed he saw a Loupan evade message in the chat log today, anyone notice it evading aoe TP moves (only things that can hit them?)
