Been grinding this past week with my secondary account, waiting for the oppoturnity to see how a Swordsman stacks up to the Geo caves.
First built up the template, got 0-4-3-3 Swordsman, Master Brawler, CoB macro going, 80% Composite, Doctor buffs, 423 Brandy, 680ish Canape, good Stim Cs, Power Hammer sliced for speed (not Acklay or anything.. why do you think I want in the Geo caves?) 
and have crates and crates of the 33% mind, 16% speed powerups.
and have crates and crates of the 33% mind, 16% speed powerups.Went in the first room.. saw some Crazed Geosstacked on top of one another. I then tab-cycled through them.. 12k ham, like I heard, weak on Blast. but then I saw they were bugged! One group was4 stacked, then another 4 stack. for a total of 8. No way to separate. Activated my PSG, and tried to agro "just" 4. All 8 charged. It did not go well for me, though I managed to put them all down to about 20% health, staying up with the stims, and mind shotted two deadbefore theyappeared to stack bleeds andkilled me. Was hitting Firstaid too 
So.. if the spawn was not bugged like that, did I do anything wrong?I even have the accuracy food. Wha happen?
What did you have when you first started soloing the geo caves?

You need to be sure you make all of them switch to melee and you'll be fine after that. Your best bet is to spin attack the first group and get them into melee and then run over towards the second group and make them switch. Once they're all in melee you shouldn't have a problem.

When you get a group 2handspinattack2 is your best friend. Run around a bit get them all aggro'd melee style just like the above person posted its the rifles that were hurting you. Also take some ahrissa with two canape you will notice a huge change on your mind.

spin attack sucks.
/2handedarea3 = LEET.
Posture Down Dizzy? 8m Range with a hammer to sit in the middle of a room hitting 1 button and raking in the exp?

Most of us swordsman arent spd capped, so we prefer the faster spin2.

Plus, I couldn't careless about a posture down + dizzy when it only takes a few hits to kill them. I strictly use spinattack2 when killing a group with AOE. That's just me though.

this happened to me also, and i had on a brand new set of 80% kin with 0! stun on it, but there were like 16+ geno's in there, ran in area 2 about 6 times, ( im a pikeman) then hit area KD once, a few went down, continued to area 2, my health shot down, stim D, all the way up, mind dropped, pop-muon, then i just got hit for like 1800 health damage and it was over............

Maybe the geno pulled out a stun baton?
Could also be lag thats keeping you from seeing the dmg done to you and then WHAM it hits you at once for mega damage.

I've had that happen a few times. You jump right into the group and start wailing away, then BLAM..a crowd of them pull out stun batons or those damn geo pistols and next thing you know, you wake up on the floor of the cloner.
*shrug*
Just get them to go melee, and spin like crazy..they'll fall in no time.

Break out some PSGs with stun, it helps alot.

not quite... spin2 and area3 have the same dmage multiplier, but area3 is slower. area3 will also slow the spawn if you are in a bugged room (for some reason, posture down makes them not spawn as fast).
