Geo/Dnc - Anyone Else Been Doing This?

It's tough to get enough accuracy and tp on geo, but I've found that I'm able to manage apex and locus mobs solo with just trusts. Here is the gear I'm using:

sets.DW = {main={ name="Idris", augments={'Path: A',}}, sub={ name="Ternion Dagger +1", augments={'Path: A',}}}

sets.engaged = {
ammo="Crepuscular pebble",
head={ name="Blistering Sallet +1", augments={'Path: A',}},
body={ name="Nyame Mail", augments={'Path: B',}},
hands={ name="Gazu Bracelets +1", augments={'Path: A',}},
legs={ name="Nyame Flanchard", augments={'Path: B',}},
feet={ name="Nyame Sollerets", augments={'Path: B',}},
neck="Lissome necklace",
waist="Grunfeld Rope",
left_ear="Telos Earring",
right_ear="Crepuscular Earring",
left_ring="Lehko Habhoka's ring",
right_ring="Chirich Ring +1",
back={ name="Nantosuelta's Cape", augments={'DEX+20','Accuracy+20 Attack+20','DEX+10','"Store TP"+10','Damage taken-5%',}},
}


Currently working on making a tp offhand too. I'd love input from anyone trying to expand on what geo can do and maybe offer suggestions for different gear options.

Try using accuracy for one of the bubbles
Maybe Torpor

Hybrids are the best

WAR/PLD

It works, but don't be afraid to give Idris/Daybreak a try. Spamming Flash Nova can do some serious damage. Also it won't pull hate like physical weapon skills will.

Also if you overflow on TP, Seraph Strike is pretty sweet.

Magemasher+1 is neat to play with, but I prefer Ternion+1s delay.

vanir battery is all jobs of DA/mdef; amar cluster if you want 10 acc without obvious drawbacks.

Combatant's torque is more acc with 1 less DA

Cessance Earring is a combo of acc/da/stp that you can use if you like that stats over crep earring.

If you use a tp bonus offhand your accuracy issues are only going to magnify. Skar's suggestion to offhand daybreak is also what I would recommend unless you specifically want physical damage.

The biggest thing I see is that you're not capping dual wield at all. /DNC needs 21 DW at cap normally and 9 DW if you have your own haste samba up.

DW options :
Shetal Stone - 6, Supa - 5, eabani - 4, ambu cape - 10 or 9
So you have enough options to get to 9 easy, supa + eabani or ambu cape with only 9 DW. You'll get more accuracy out of switching your cape instead of your earrings but lots of people don't like the 9 DW cape, so it really depends on what you want to do. You can also do 21 with shetal, supa, and 10 DW ambu cape to add more to consider if you want to code your lua to understand when you do and do not have Haste Samba.

2nd issue to talk about is I assume you want idris for AM3 being the cornerstone of your build for multi-attack because of the heavy preference to store tp. That's fine but you still want to address how you're going to get to 3k tp quickly. You can make a TP set that prioritizes more DA in the cape that switches in when you don't have AM3 up if you want to avoid casting for TP. The other alternative is for you to build an occult acumen set, intentionally target mobs you can aspir off, and start your fights with impact to jumpstart your TP. You can also get a seidr coat and use thundara 3 with your occult acumen so that you can potentially get TP for little to no MP costs.

The occult acumen options are what I prefer because you can use them even if you're not using Idris. Specifically if you're using a staff for shell crusher/shattersoul for debuffs, earth crusher or cata for AoE, or spirit taker for MP back.

Definitely have enjoyed GEO/DNC in the past, and recently returning to it as I start to focus on GEO's MLs after a long period working on RDM and RNG.

If you care about AM3 with your Idris, don't shy away from a simple to acquire, yet commonly overlooked, leg option in Jhakri Slops +2. There's enough gear options for the other slots that one can live with a single "bad slot" in terms of -DT and meva to gain what for GEO is really pretty great STP/melee accuracy for the legs.

I am very interested in what that may become if ambu +3 happens.

Hoping for some good defensive stats, if it happens.

I would love to see this. Also, with Limbus being reworked, there could be some neat belt/earrings that become available.
