I don't think there is a magic recipe for being a dancer. You become as much of a dancer as you like - there are no in-game limitations to being an entertainer. There are in-game limitations with regard to combat, so if you want to do both, choices must be made. Alot of people choose knowledge 4 only so that they can also be level 80. I myself chose to keep master dancer and become a master bounty hunter. I can do alot of damage but I'm only level 56, so my abilities are somewhat limited.



Before CU I was master dancer with 1340 Commando. There was nothing like running up to something and setting it on fire. Come to think of it, I'm not sure why I didn't do that as part of my act.

you know what I think is best? play on multiple servers

that's what I do... I have my quad master on TC, a dancer/swords on Bria, a tailor/merchant on Ahazi, and various combat chars scattered both on live and TC. you get to log onto whatever you feel like playing

Well I can see several possible templates there but actually my main characters skill selection is not an ideal one. In fact I reject the thought Sharven fills a template very passionately. Sharven's just Sharven.

Anyways, here are some ideas, based on what you want:

Versitality:
Master Smuggler / Master Dancer / Master Smuggler Pilot
Teräs Käsi Master / A Little Medic / Master Dancer / Imperial or Rebel Ace Pilot

Professionality:
Master Tailor / Master Dancer / Master Entertainer or
Master ID / Master Musician / Master Dancer / Master Entertainer

Glamour & High Society:
Master Dancer / Master Tailor / Merchant 4400 / Artisan 0400 / Master RSF Pilot

Raw Power:
Master Dancer / Master Swordsman and the defensive branch from pikeswoman
Master Rifles & some defense from pistolier

Personally I think the first way is best. Smuggler gives you some way to craft, a way to stay alive in the thickest combat and at least get away when you cannot handle it.
Dancer fits perfect, since cantina presence is the best to promote your slices to customers you like and sell spices under the hand.
EDIT: Oh, it has another advantage - it is the only mentioned template that makes you play a really impotant role in the GCW. Smuggler is one of the five base slicer professions (along with Bounty Hunter, Commando, Bio Engineer and Squad Leader)

Caer is Master Dancer and Master Smuggler. A great combo if you want to get out of the cantina and a fun RP template too. She is handy in a combatgroup as her Smuggler mezzes can debuff opponents, but her lower HAM does mean she needs lots of healing, unless she uses her health focus crystal.

My primary character is M Smuggler|M Dancer Medic x2xx. I have been CL 80 thrice with the same character. I also tried just dance x4xx and M Smuggler|Rifles 4xx4. I missed being Master Dancer and didn't really care about being uber for PvE so I went back to my original idea which was M Smuggler|M Dancer.


I am perfectly happy with her.

Now thinking over it, there is also one profession that could be regarded as the only actual support profession for dancer: Scout

Scout enables you to build camps and therefore inspire anywhere in the wild... if you have 15 leftover skillpoints becoming scout is a good way to go, while many other classes would rather become medic in such a situation.

Caer has a few left over sp, she was using them for FS skills, but they are mainly useless for her as she will never be a Jedi. Perhaps diverting theme to Scout would be a good idea. 15 months ago she started out as a Scout. Would be rather nice to get it again.

I enjoy mixing combat and entertainer. I have a pikewoman/TKM with Novice Dancer (without FS boxes you can be Dancer 0040, however) and I am working on a musician / ranger (the only draw back is that this template does not leave enough SPs for master entertainer, hence no mandoviol ) Don't let being less than level 80 put you off also -- there is plenty of content still out there (although pvp will be limited) , and getting 'grinding groups' is only slightly more difficult - definately not impossible.
