A very brief look at /GEO..

No GEO spell access at all. I could only use Indi-spells on WHM/GEO. So you're stuck with only one buff/debuff.

Limited spell selection. Prime example, No frailty.

Low potency. With capped and merited skills:

Indi-Refresh was yielding 1/tick refresh. (GEO main, +10/tick)
Indi-Fury was giving +9.7% atk. (My GEO main, +46.4% atk.)
Indi-Precision, +9 acc. (My GEO main, +72 ACC.)

It's pretty bad for the most part. Fury is decent if you look at is as 9.7% vs nothing. Maybe sub it on a buffing job if you have enough support that they don't need to assist with status removal/curing?


Brd can sub dnc and Rudra spam plus steps for def Eva down. I dont see how sub geo beats it.
Quote someone else if you want to argue against a position that I didn't take.

Well, this is how you worded your statement:

In situations that status removal/curing isn't needed, the default sub is /DNC. To use /GEO it'd replace /DNC. I don't see how I understand your statement wrong in this case.

/DNC is really boss...12-14k Rudras at 200% on 130 Gramk Droog and this is with /WHM. Can probably push a bit further with /DNC's Steps and offhand hit.

I never said it did.

I compared GEO main, to /GEO. Then /GEO, specifically Indi-Fury, to having nothing.

I didn't assert that /GEO was a good idea, or that it was better than anything. I only conceded that one could possibly find a use for it via fury. Doesn't mean that it's optimal use, just that it's not completely useless.

Fair point, but since it's almost near impossible to pt with a BRD with no SJ unlocked(I've never seen a SJ-less BRD in endgame, even in PUG), /GEO v.s sub nothing is a situation that usually won't exist.....in the end it's more logical to look at it as /GEO v.s the default sub /DNC.
