Sometimes I question myself, but seeing posts like this puts me at ease and makes me proud.
Because I know Im positively impacting the FFXIAH community. |

Depends on the event. If we're talking Oddy T3 nms then sure. If we're talking trash mob farming in limbus or seg farms then no. Those mobs are dying so fast that you're not stacking debuffs all the time. Some groups will have a geo, while others won't. Sometimes the mobs get dia'd, but usually they're dead long before anyone has a chance. Almost nobody EVER casts dia on the first few floors of seg farm mobs and rarely the latter, and I'd wager the same is true for most of limbus too. The most likely mobs to be dia'd are the ones the rdm is fighting directly, not the ones the other dd's are soloing.
No, you will stop and apply max debuffs to every monster I target so that I can feel like I'm playing optimally..... |

So you're concerned over two seconds per floor It's a bit more than that, I forgot to account for the global cast cooldown.
Regardless of that though, I'm in no way concerned at all! |

The point is situations where you have both time and need to stack as many debuffs on the thing can be counted on one hand.
Situations where you have some buffs and you kill really fast are more common.
Gear for what you do.

30DT+Shell For everyone (DD) essentially 100% of the time (not salvage or doing trials or spamming voidwatch, you know what I mean without having to spell it out) my controversial take is that I do this for all that trash content too - it literally does not matter, because using the glass cannon isn't going to speed it up considerably, and I want as few toggles and sets to maintain as possible
(now, that said, I'm also the kind of idiot who's like "hurr this kraken club really made abyssea proccing easier", so square that circle how you will) |

Plenty of jobs don't have PDL necks or ears. RDM in particular starves for PDL sources. Pretty much any mage or tank job does, too. RDM also doesn't have a native way to boost their attack so PDL most likely would have been a waste anyway.
BLU on the other hand has both, a -def debuff and +att buffs and they still didn't receive PDL on their JSE necks. While true in the first half, this is illogical in the second half. The majority of buffs in this game come from party play, and RDM itself still sports Dia III which is a potent, generally unresistable form of Defense Down. It also sports Gain-STR where with Relish gloves you get +55 STR, giving a modest +55 atk to your main hand.
When buffed by a party, a well geared RDM becomes a monster of a DD. If RDM had more PDL, you would regularly see RDMs out damage dedicated DDs. It's like one or two FFXI intern incidents away from just being God. Trust and believe that more PDL gear on it would pay dividends. |

Why do 40k WS's when you can do 55k WS's and let your e-peen fly high? Who cares if its slower as a whole, your personal numbers look so much better.
Touche fam. Nothing like burning all 4 of my Jumps, popping Fly High and riding the parse horse to victory (NGL Limbus is so damn boring, competing with the other DD is the ONLY thing that makes it fun). |

Maybe if they'd just made wsacc work on all WS instead of just phys for whatever reason. Made the stat kind of redundant anytime it appeared

It does not. Cornelia has wsacc+10. So, substantially less Acc than Ephramad's Acc+20/DEX+10.
Have posted this JP wiki link a dozen times by now - https://wiki.ffo.jp/html/39077.html .
Cornelia's ring has the wrong English description and is actually WSAcc+20 not 10.
It will never be fixed, because the JP description is correct.
Still less than Ephramad's in all situations.
How is 10acc + 10 dex, so 15 acc, more WS accuracy than WSAcc+20.
WSAcc is important for 2H jobs which drop a lot of melee accuracy in their WS sets. Drk and Sam mostly, War not so much. Also for cor which has lower native accuracy. 
It's +27 total, thanks for playing. |

In limbus the red mage is usually busy hasting, buffing, curing, and fighting alongside the dd's, while the geo typically opens with dispelga, if there is a geo at all. Many groups run with a third dd instead of a geo. In my experience when the pulls get large a lot of the mobs die without getting dia'd; not because the mages aren't casting dia, but because it just takes too long for them to target everything before it dies. There is such a thing as too much PDL. We have PDL on the majority of JSE necks and earrings, aria, prime aftermath, and sroda ring and crep pebble. If you stack enough of it there does come a point where you're not always attack capped. Blindly assuming you always will be is a mistake. In my experience, a lot of people aren't doing Limbus :^)
But my experience with those that do go regularly is that they lower the level of the mobs to 128 or less to make climbs faster by giving the mobs less HP and stats. Sometimes just 119 to get the climbs for the week in.
Then they set up their bots to get units over night, where optimization only goes as far as, "How many yalms will we allow our characters to move. Make sure you set your bot to Dia every mob." etc.
On another note: Sroda Ring is terrible, and not an acceptable substitute for Ephramad's. The delta on accuracy between it and Ephramad's is -30 DEX, -42acc. -7 PDL. In party with actual people, also -15atk. Throw it away. Embrace Ephramad's.
Plenty of jobs don't have PDL necks or ears. RDM in particular starves for PDL sources. Pretty much any mage or tank job does, too. |

Name a ring with higher accuracy in the ring slot
Cornelia has wsacc+20. Still less than Ephramad's in all situations. |

Hence the two easiest macros for a GEO to use
/ma Indi-Frailty <me>
/ma Geo-Fury <me>
Don't have to worry about positioning a bubble, just position yourself. Pop circle when the team is unassing the camp and continue on.

During instanced content these delays combined with the lag/delay that frequently seems to be multiple seconds it adds up enough that one can barely place their bubbles before most mobs are dead.
FFXI doesn't play well with roaming content, GEO plays even worse with roaming content. SE knew it which is why there was barely any roaming content before the introduction of GEO. Wonder if they view it as some sort of barancing to bombard us with roaming content now that GEO is a thing.

If you do it with a geo bubble first you have the additional time required by placing the bubble (ok, ~1 second?) and then you have to consider that geo debuffs are applied in "tics" cycles.
It's about 4~5 seconds not 1, spells come with a 3s global cool down effect. Once you cast geo-whatever, you have to wait 3s before you can cast another spell to tag a group of monsters, or cure the bard who might be sleeping stuff. The more important aspect is that loupan's can't be moved once placed and monsters don't always place nice and stand in a perfect circular formation around a loupan. The Geomancer running indi-frailty can easily reposition themselves to catch everything in the defense debuff bubble while the geo-fury bubble is exactly where the geomancer wanted it since it is placed via <me>.
To make it even more fun, the Geomancer is going /BLM and using sleepga / sleepga II to "Tag" the monsters when they come in. Since indi-frailty is already up, this immediately tags them all with the defense debuff and acts as crowd control. It's one of those neat tricks for when your party is rapidly moving camp like in Rimbus or Dynamis-D. |

"develop a game for me. Get inspired by Pokemon, but use cards instead of balls, and give it an open world like Zelda Breath of the Wild"

Wouldnt it juat be 14%? Thought +geomancy only applied to geo-bubbles.
May be bundling it with only geo spells can be ja boosted
Ehh ... no ....
+Geomancy applies to both Indi and Geo spells, it doesn't apply to entrust spells. BoG / EA only apply to the Loupon itself, meaning Geo spell. Of course if you are moving around like you do in Limbus those aren't that great. |
