I don't believe Geist is overbearing, even if it can at times be annoying. That said, I'm not overly fond of how Geist plays out in practice, where most people simply tap into abilities that ignore the guessing game entirely, or get cheesed and play rock paper scissors when their class can only play scissors.
In my honest opinion, the entire ability should be reworked from the ground up. Until then, it's better to leave it as is than to start messing with one of the most volatile types of abilities in the game: ones that shift action economy. Ironically, Boxer suffers the most from not having a viable option when faced against an opponent who Geisted away from them -- basic attacks with a 0% chance to hit aren't much of a candidate in rock, paper, scissors, and the whole suite of Boxer autohits loses to Geist Schritt (Zwei).
