I am BH/CM/Pisols 0004 atm....and the only problem i get is with defenders near water...So i am thinking of dropping pistols and picking up SL post pub 24. Now I really havent played it on TC, but SL 0400 looks promising...Just for the damage and accuracy buffs...And group armor buff....Just checking to see what other people might pick up and why.

is there a skill tree for the new SL post pub24? i read the notes about the abilities, but didn't know that x4xx was the defense buff line.

As per the notes....SL 0400 is the strategy and that gives:
Group Buffs
Steady Aim (Strategy I) - Enhances group accuracy.
Call to Arms (Strategy III) - Enhances group armor ratings.
Volley Fire (Strategy IV) - Gives group members the chance to bypass enemy armor.
Individual Buffs
High Yield (Strategy II) - Increases the damage output of a single group member.
As far as volley fire goes....does that bypass enemy armor buff also bypasses psgs? Would make energy weapons more useful.

It would suck if the poor SL's' group buffs didn't work unless a group member was in range. I mean, I'd hate to have to ruin a relationship by dragging my friend around with me on every hunt. I can sort of imagine a scenario with people tagging along on bounties for 50k to make the buffs work. If the devs screw this up and make this yet another ultimately undesireable profession (coughrangercough) I'm...going to be very upset.

SL is not dabbler friendly. THe effectivness of the buff is dependant on the skill mod "Leadership". Dabbling in SL is pointless.

Well first off your droid can be your friend...just group your droid to get the group buffs....Second, What do you mean by the effectiveness of the buff? So my buff might last for less time? I really dont care about the duration....Im just looking to up my damage output...

I fight a person with volley fire on and using ranged shot I noticed I was doing 360ish dam with my pistol and 260 with my rifle...It doesnt negate psgs so energy weapons still suck...But im really liking 0400 or at least 0103 right now...Too bad I really need to keep MCM cuz my battle armor is all adk'd and im not uber rich enough to a full set of assault armor to adk...But it really looks like SL is very dabbler friendly...

Can you test if you can use your squad leader abilitiesduring ajedi bounty. If so please keep me posted on the results.

I can't say I'd pick up any SL. I'd rather stay my temp (MPist, MBH, 4000 CM) or go MPist, MBH, 0040 Smuggler (Concussion shot). I never saw the real advantage to being a squad leader, even with the new updates.

after testing sl 0100 i find steady aim to be very effective...and there is no difference between MSL steady aim and 0100 steady aim...the crit hit buff also seems effective as well...The def buffs seem to be broke though. Also, Volley Fire doesnt seem to bypass psgs...Cuz i do about 100 more dam with my pistol then my rifle...

Strat, hands down.
In fact, if the defensive mods are anything like they were before, you'd be a fool not pick up that line.
Do the math. =P
