Geomancer

Vital Statistics

"Harnessing the power of their surroundings, they easily avoid pits and floors with damaging effects."

Job Description

Horrible. Horrible! The Geomancer's only useful stat is Magic Power, at which it is not as potent as Black Mages and Summoners (it’s more comparable to Blue and White Mages). It gets a little Strength and Agility boost, both of which mean nothing to it. It cannot equip Rods or Staves to boost spells. Its inherent abilities are useless. It gets a theoretical saving grace in the Rune Chime which boosts all elements except for Water, making it a grand !Black and !Summon user. This is late-game, though. Very late-game, when you don't want to use Geomancers anymore.

Job Ability Summary

!Gaia is great, the others stink. !Gaia is a great ability as long as you realize that it does not boost Magic Power and should be set on Jobs with high Magic Power. !Gaia uses powerful attacks when you first get it, but the attacks used are hardly upgraded. !Gaia is a thing of the past when you get to the later stages of the game. Find Pits and Light Step are both abilities that can be ignored. Should you ever really need them (there are one or two lava floors in this game), you could just switch to a Geomancer right there, or cast the Float spell. In other words: get !Gaia, get out.

Find Pits and Light Step! Nothing to speak of.
