Well, saying that Oracles and Time Mages suck would be the same as me telling you that Lancers suck. They are suprisingly easy to defeat. Just slap on Blade Grasp, and you've pretty much won. Every class has their own weaknesses and strengths. (Even Orlandu, smash his sword, and he's dead.)

I know that Lancers can be useful, but so can Oracles and Time Mages. Just slap on Short Charge for eiher of them, and if you have an Oracle, Petrify them. If you have a Time Mage, cast Don't Move, then Meteor.

you can't diss time mages nameless virtue they are really good, and have really good skills, i myself will give time mages a secondary magic ability, and they'll be really good
i can see how you could diss oracles in some ways , but they still have useful skills, such as chicken, but an oracle can easily be replaced by beowulf thuogh

and i still say that geomancers are the worst class, i stand strong by that choice, they have a useless ability that does little damage and only works on certain tilesets. geomancers arnt worth it

"Have you ever seen a baby do that before?"

Geomancers have good stats. They have the same PA as a Knight and the same MA as a Priest. Slap on Equip Armor, and give them a decent secondary skillset, and you have a well-balanced fighter that can fight both close up, and at distances.

my choice too put down geomancers has nothing to do with thier stats, thier elemental magic is most of the time useless, and i dislike using skills, such as equip-armor, when you could be using the very useful skill auto-potion. also geomancers can only equip swords that a "basic" squire can equip. Plus i don't like the way geomancers look either.

the only way they can be useful when you give them, a secondary magic skill.
but geomancers are easily replaced by real useful classes such as lancer, with the powerful jump ability, or even a white mage with equip sword can be more useful to me.(and this is surprisingly true)

Auto potion and Equip Armour are in different skill catagorys (sp?)

Auto potion is a Reaction. Equip armour isnt.....which actually would be cool in case your fighting Mealoiu (SP?).......

Trying is the first step to failure.

well sorry for the mix-up its been a while since i played, so here is my correction:
i would rather use a very useful skill such as 2-sword than equip-armor
and if i were to start going with someone who uses magic i might give them 1/2 MP cost
*and i still believe that geomancers are the worst*

I actually like Oracles. Their skills are fun, and you can use them to lower/raise brave/faith, and they can equip those powerful rods that have a range of two. That alone gives them an advantage over other mages, whether it's slight or not.

Oh yes, have your Two Swords ability equipped, while my Geomancer has this setup:

Left Hand: Rune Blade
Right Hand: Estucheon2
Head: Genji Helmet
Body: Genji Armor
Ac: Feather Mantle

Primary: Elemental
Secondary: White Magic
Reaction: Blade Grasp
Support: Equip Armor
Movement: Move +3

With this setup, you'll have a hard time hitting me regardless if you have Two Sword or not. And if you have a LAncer, all hope is lost for you.

kind of a waste of estucheon2 though, and note a mastered black mage with this set-up can easily obliterate, that geomancer

*not this is a female
left hand: nothing
right hand: nothing
head: thief hat
body: black costume
ac: ribbon

Primary: black magic
secondary: summon
reaction: auto-potion *note i have all X-potions in my inventory
support: short charge
movement: teleport

i can even do this with a summoner, just switch primary/secondary
and all these possibilities could go on and on...
*and geomancers still are the worst

Okay, this isn't a competition. This is a topic for people to post what THEY THINK is the worst class in the game. Regardless of whether you like that class or not, that is what they believe is the worst class. Keep to the topic at hand.

Too bad that my Feather Mantle has 30% Magic Evade, and the Estucheon2 has 50% Magic evade, so your magic spells will miss most of the time. And if it does hit me, then I can heal with White Magic. Also, I can wait till you run out of MP and X-Potions. Then you are dead. The Geomancer isn't the best or worst class in the game. There is no worst class.

[Edit]: I could also equip the Reflect Mail, so only level 4 spells can affect me, and they eat lots of MP. Ribbons can't be equipped as an Accessory. Thief Hats and Black COstumes don't add much (or anything) to MP at all. YOu wouldn't last very long.
