Long-tailed 3D object detection is treated as a class-frequency problem, but LiDAR supervision quality depends on object observability: similar frequencies can hide different geometric evidence. We introduce Geometry-Augmented Exponentially Weighted Instance-Aware Repeat Factor Sampling (GA-EIRFS), a detector-agnostic method that modulates a frequency-based repeat factor with a fixed geometry score combining point count, surface-normal entropy, and surface coverage. GA-EIRFS changes only frame-sampling probabilities, leaving the detector and inference unchanged. On nuScenes it improves mean average precision (mAP) and the nuScenes detection score (NDS) in four converged experiments with CenterPoint and PointPillars over two seeds; for CenterPoint at seed 666, mAP rises from 0.552 to 0.563 and bicycle AP from 0.306 to 0.359. Per-class gains correlate with the class sampling-weight increase (Spearman rho=0.70, p=0.025) but not with geometry score alone (rho=0.32, p=0.37), so geometry amplifies frequency-driven need. KITTI results vary across seeds, most for the rarest class. Code: https://github.com/Multimodal-Sensing-Lab/GA-EIRFS.
