Videoguide: How To Place GEO Bubbles At Max Range

- Enter /gtst 95
- Stand exactly opposite of your tank and look streight at him. Use 1st person camera to help align.
- Select your GEO- spell and hold the CONTROL key.
- Go exactly 4 steps back towards yourself. You can be much further away than in the video. I just stand there for showcase reasons.
- Enjoy your max range Bubble. Might not manage to hit small Mandys, but bigger NMs should definetly be hit.


Disclaimer [EDITED]: Using Gearswap this will NOT work and you cannot manually place your Luopans while it is loaded.


The prime example for using this on current endgame content is Maju. If you place your bubble this way, it will be outside of Backdraft range. Backdraft is a 200damage/tick DoT AoE centered around the main target. using this trick will make the fight less annoying and more stable. Nothing like backdraft killing your bubbles as BLM is about to unload a Death volley.

Thanks for postng this. Also if you use controller, instead of holding CTRL, you can press L2 or R2.

Do you have an example of a Geo lua that supports this?

This is why nobody is going to bother:

The entire GEOnation was ecstatic when this was first released, but due to a bug with gearswap(and I believe ashita too), it's not possible to do this and use gearswap at the same time.

The last known update we got about the progress of the bug I remember reading was this from Byrth:

Could always make a specific /raw command that uses in-game gear sets. With /raw commands the positioning thing should be working flawlessly.

To my knowledge, you can only move the pointer when choosing a spell from the menu, so you can't bypass GearSwap like that. The only way to do so is `//gs disable`. Even loading an empty GS file doesn't let you move Luopans.

The distance of backdraft is 4.5-5 yalms depending on where you are standing in relation to Maju. It's pretty easy to not get hit if you're upfront doing bolster malaise/languor. (also don't face it) As far as the loupon goes only other thing you have to do is pay attention the SC timing and TP moves so that you recast malaise at the proper time and don't have it drop during MB phase. With a little practice it's really not bad. Specified placement might be nice for BoG loupon which can't be recast but then you can have the geo cast and have the tank pull it 5 yalms away too I guess.

Sorry for the necrobump! But if you're like me and you end up on this page during your initial search on how to reposition your GEO bubble before casting then you would have hit a dead end as far as this thread is concerned if you're using gearswap. The method in the video only works if gearswap isn't loaded.

Here is the current way to reposition your geo bubble while using gearswap.
