Pikeman and geo lab don’t mix. So I mastered Pikeman and decided that I was ready to hit the genesis lad not I walk in to the cave and got killed. Do I just suck or do Pike and the genesis lab do not mix. I cannot see how others do the genesis lab being a master Pikeman. I go out and kill the biggest beast in the galaxies but cannot kill a shooting bug. May be I am doing some thing wrong. If I am can you explain or give me a hint. If I am not wrong tell you stories about the lab.

I went as part of a group and it was messy. I did fine until someone trained enhanced kwi onto us and got me killed. After that I had no buffs, so I was pretty much screwed.

The geo caves are borked again. They spawn 15 crazed geonosians at the cave entrance every 2 minutes or so.


As fast as you can kill them they respawn. One spot in particular spawns like 10 on the same spot and you can't see how many are there as they are stacked atop of one another.


I would advise to avoid unless you have a party of like 5 or so people with a couple docs in the mix.

hehe i was in there as a very low level pike... i did great against the *shooting bugs* but the enhanced kwi were another story i had a couple aggro on me and it was all over lol, i got rez'd but of course lost my buffs. did not have any action/health drugs or foods with me so i was pretty much a liability to my group after that since we all know a pike has to be on drugs to swing LOL. were you wearing armor? i was.


i plan on going back for another round now that i made master but i will be much more careful with my area attacks when near the kwi's hehe


but nonetheless i learned a valuable lesson that day... drugs & food buffs, never leave home without them.. LOL

I've not really had too much of a problem there, especially at the entrance. A group of us went there about a week ago (2 masters, 1 expert and a novice). Pretty much owned it until we got split up, about half way through. Saying that, it still took several of the bugs (at once) to take me down. Just need to go in fully buffed, as everyone else does.

I don't know if this is just on my server but I agree, normally the caves are not that much of a problem. Like I said above, the caves are borked.


When that much spawns in so little time, I don't care how good you are, you're going to get dead unless you have a large crew.


I was there with 4 other people, including 2 docs. The docs and the others dropped in about 10 seconds and I was left surrounded by 15 bugs trying to hold them off. Had the lot of them down to about 1/3 ham when I got hit with a 700!!!!! bleed. Death was swift after that.

LOL.


Okay, I guess my server must be the only one that is gimped because no one else seems to have a problem with the geo labs.


I beg you all to come to my server and take a look at the geo caves. No amount of patience or skills or anything is going to help you in those caves. They spawn at an exponential rate and are impossible to kill in time before the next batch respawn. If you don't kill the current ones more spawn on top of the old spawn.

Not only do the Geonosians at the entrance spawn too quickly, but they use a bugged area-of-attack that causes far more damage than it should a lot of the time. If you run past the front and deeper into the cave, I hear it's not as bad.

Well I am a master pikeman (Just got it Wednesday!!), and my friend is a master swordsman, and we made it all the way into the last room, no problems. It was toughat times, but you need to be patient, have buffs, and wear armor. Just take it concentrate one target at a time, and always use CoB. Drugs, and food, also help combined with the buffs.
