Bubble Trouble: A Geomancer Guide

Anyone have a full Lua available, where i can i see what i am aiming for ? ATm no Idris, but working on Coalitions, and i want my geo to be ready for sortie non the less, i been looking to the gear guides, and i am using Selindrile, but the selindile file is far from complete to use as a messure what to get, and i find the guides lacking, for instance for fast cast etc, if someone is able to share their lua that would be very helpfull

The guides fast cast set seems pretty up to date. The only thing It's missing I could think of are mostly the latest high tier mission battle field drops:
Cath Palug Hammer (7% FC) instead of Sucellus (5%) [I think you can't augment that thing?]
Malignance earring (4% FC) replacing either of the two options mentioned (2% FC)

Alternative to the adoulin (Weatherspoon ring / Weatherspoon ring +1) and voracious resurgance (Medada's ring) reward rings are Lebeche Ring for quick magic or Prolix Ring for 2% FC.

Could also go for augmented Fi Follet Cape +1 (10% FC) if you don't want to do a dedicated ambu cape.

Interesting enough the shield option mentioned in the guide isn't listed on BG wikis fast cast page, always had the suspicion those lists aren't complete.

No you can't, but you can augment Solstice with FC+5, and since you're already gonna have a Solstice for Entrust...
Cath Palug is better but FC is capped anyway, so it becomes a matter of inventory convenience.
Also a matter of wether or not you want to go over the FC cap (to take into account situations when you're Addled).

Grioavolr can be augmented up to 11% fast cast. And another +3 from clemency grip +1.

You used to cap FC on some jobs like GEO and RDM pretty easily for a while but I think it's worth it again to take every piece back into consideration. If you can cap or come close to cap without relying on body slot it would open up Adamantite Armor and -20% DT in a single slot is pretty nice for sets like fastcast and/or fastrecast that are starving for some -DT.

I didn't do the math but I think it should be possible to at least come close to cap for GEO without body, either by relying on adoulin/voracious reward rings or when taking main and sub slots into consideration.

I think Gada is better than Solstice for Entrust?

It is With augments

Every lua is a personal evolution. You’ll need the regular spam spell for solo KI-A, a MB set (don’t forget the toggle and make sure it’s working) + FC set for a magical strategy (magic strat allow for weapon swap abuse to the opposite of physical). For physical strat, you’ll need to lock that weapon mode (I recommend Idris R-15 so you don’t screw a bubble because you forget to swap back, but if you feel like you a boss then add another swap for a better melee/WS club like tish or magesmasher, I see that multiple time a week as we shout daily for 1) a melee set, WS-judgment set + another set for subtle blow (make a toggle), an OA/impact/thundara 3 set (don’t confuse that with a MB/non-MB set, it’s different)

Gada can get up to +11% duration for indi, which is roughly +18 seconds of duration vs. Solstice flat +15

Let's discuss cloud of darkness drops, with the massive ACC stats probably all of them earn a spot in engaged sets, Null Masuqe (?) and Null Shawl for sure do for other reasons too; but let's take a closer look in terms of MACC:

1. Null Shawl vs augmented Aurist's Cape +1
50 MACC 33 MACC and 33 INT/MND

according to wiki INT guide Aurist's Cape should outdo Null Shawl in best case scenario where INT equals 1 macc. At the 1 INT:0,5 macc ratio Null Shawl should be on paar or slightly better than Aurist's Cape.

For MND the wiki doesn't go as in depth as it does for INT and I have no clue if MND scales similarly to how INT does with MACC.

I also don't have a clue in what range dINT usually can be expected but I assume it's save to say Null Shawl earns a spot in the Resistant sets for low and high tier nukes since you'd only cast in resistant set when you get resisted and your dINT is not in the sweet spot. Not sure about enfeeble sets.

------------------

2.Null Loop should be uncontested in the MACC category for GEO as the next best option is Bagua charm with 20 less MACC, it probably is so for most jobs.


3. Null Belt vs augmented Acuity Belt +1
30 MACC 15 MACC and 19-23 INT

------------------

For MND enfeebles Null Belt wins but for everything INT related it get's tricky again. In best case scenario Acuity wins but as soon as it drops to dINT ratio of 1 INT:0.5 MACC Null Belt pulls ahead.

So again Null Belt earns a spot in low and high tier nuke Resistant sets and MND enfeebles.

I think it's funny because some in the CoD thread were speculating that some of those pieces would replace other items completely, yet I'm starting to wonder if there is a need for a resistant toggle between INT/MACC and pure MACC.

I think about those pieces more for melee geo'ing. geo is usually worse than everyone else for ACC so those pieces should help you ride tpbonus offhand longer or bring it back entirely for some content.

sTP+10 back however I have a difficult time with. inventory+1 but nuking for TP would be worse at aminon than before. what to do?! (same issue for BLM, SCH, & RDM)
