I am just wondering if anyone has seen the value in this skill? Was it noticeable when dropped? I only had explor 2 and it seemed on rori I could navigate the terrain as fast as someone with explore iv. Please post your experiences as I am debating dropping this in my final build.

Thanks

You see the big difference more in your burst run. You burst run a whole lot faster at level IV then you do at level II.

Last I've checked, explore IV does notadd anything toterrain negotiation (the explore 1 and 3 boxes each give you a +20 to that skill). So if you're asking about asking about normal generic uphill mobility, then there isn't a difference between explore 3 and 4. I believe, however, there is a significant difference between explore 2 and 3, especially when negotiating sheer cliffs.

Mask scent is a different story. Prior to the big patch, there was a huge difference between explore 3 and 4. But after the patch, I would rather leave mask scent off.

I've dropped the exploration tree all together as I needed the points for teras kasi. There is definatly a HUGE difference. I will run around mtns. and hills cause it take me so long to go up them now.

Actually, burst run speed isn't affected, the burst run efficiency is affected. Higher burst run effeciency means it doesn't cost as much. I had to surrender exploration 4, and now instead of it taking ~214 health and action, its ~286. I may be incorrect with this, but I'm pretty sure that burst run efficiency doesn't make you run faster.

Explore 4 doesn't impact terrain negotiation, only burst run. Exlore does impact terrain negotiation and I did notice a difference. The difference between explore 2 and no scouting skill is very stark.

Bah, if only we had mounts or vehicles. We wouldn't need to have the Exploration tree at all... or the Scout profession for that matter.

Only if you wish to give up the ability to harvest Organics yourself..

I guess that's one of the majorly annoying things about Combat Medics in my mind..

We have a pretty high skill point requirement to Master our class, and still need to spend an additional 30+ points for 'basics' to help our class (15 for Novice Scout-TN and Harvesting and another 15 for Novice Artisan for surveying).

Even if we have people to give us Organics not many people (in their right mind) want to walk up hills with only +10 TN so we still need Scouting and/or Exploration..

Uh, so WE don't want it, and YOU don't want it in for PvP--then why is it still there??

I only have 10 Terrain Negotation for Master CM. Used to have Explore 4. The difference is very noticeable and sucks big time. I hope we get more terrain negotation as is expected. Although I'd rather them fix the broken stuff first.
