Hi everyone..
For quite some time I have been playing with the geomancer, my favourite hero in DotA. After a long time of patience and hardworking, I am amazed how strong this hero can be and very fun, too.
So, before reading this guide, let me remind you that getting used to meepo takes some time, patience and it requires too much attention during the game play. But after learning the basics you will simply be amazed of his skills and capabilities.
This will be my first guide ever, so pardon me for my mistakes. I will try to give you details as much as I can do, and support those with screenshots/sketches if possible.
1. Introduction
Basic information about the hero, damage, base stats can be found here. I hate maths and most of the time I will be using spesifications, advantages and disadvantages of an aspect but not numerical values behind it. So, what sort of a hero are we playing with?
Geomancer simply is a killing machine which requires some good skills to play with. He has a very interesting ultimate, which makes him so powerful yet so fragile, especially late game. You will be controlling 4 different clones ( 5 with aganim ) and if you lose one of them you will lose everyone. Therefore meepo offers very fun gameplay, but I guarantee you, he is not a hero to play with, if you are easily distracted, lose focus and attention and if you are too lazy to improve micro skills.
Shortly after starting to play dota, I have got meepo in a -ar game. My first impressions were very bad; his skills were useless in my opinion: A useless net, which does not even stuns the enemy, a useless slow, a tp which I cannot use properly and an ulti which is basically a suicide..
After being owned that day, I was curious and googled the hero, learned the basics and saw that he is one of the most powerful heroes in the game if properly played. I remember working with him in my own computer with AI bots until I improved my macro. I will suggest you doing the same because it takes time to get used to meepo.

Geomancer - DotA Hero Details
Skills:
http://media.playdota.com/hero/74/skill-0.png
Earthbind: I will call this skill simply as "net" in the guide. Geomancer is not a chaser hero, instead you will keep someone still using this skill and harass him to death. The net can also be used to catch fleeing heroes, to escape from one/multiple enemies and harass the foes in early game. Details can be found later in the guide.
Poof: Although this skill is a teleportation tool between the clones, we will be using this as an AOE nuke mostly. The trick is teleporting all 4 clones from & into the same position to make 8x dmg.
Your slow. This will be upgraded later, since it is stackable; it means its true effect will be useful when you have a number of clones.
Your ulti. With only one clone, geo is useless; so take this skill whenever available and try to keep them alive.

Explanation: In early game we will be using net as a harass tool, since we dont have real damage. Poof is maxed as early as possible, ulti is taken whenever available. You can get geostrike 1-2 levels before since level 4 net is a little bit luxury, but never take geostrike in early game. Without other clones it will not be used with its full potential.
Having stats instead of skills: To be honest I didnt try this before; your skills are useful and more trustworthy than your stats in my opinion. Net can be kept in level 1 early game, but remember its range will be small so you may have difficulties in the early-mid game battles.
Early Game:
Geomancer is a weak agi hero, which can be very fragile in the beginning of the game. But dont worry you are not totally hopeless; you can even do some real damage if you use the net properly and if you are laned with a good partner (stunnners and disablers can be very useful)

You will need mana to use net when necessary, but remember you do not have the luxury to abuse it. Armor is quite useful, too. Later we will make vlad of these.

And if you have randomed meepo, you can get a few of
or save the money for 
.
Strategy:
Geomancer is an amazing pusher/ farmer in mid game but until you get your first level of ulti, you need to be a little bit defensive.
