Dancer Archive

It's really more that we are geting somthing for nothign I'll try to explain. The classes you mentioned are ment to be taken along with somthing else. We are more akin to Rangers, Creature handlers and the like. Both our requirments are in the same novice profesion so we can afford to also take on one of the skills you mentioned in your post. Combat or crafting. This makes us very versitile we have enough points for in my case (Master Dancer/Master Ent/Master TKA/ Novice scout with explore I) Now if all you think of dancers as is healing and buff bots then that doesnt sound liek a fair shake, but we also get a TON of dancers and special effects. In any other game to date if the abilities given us just in the novice entertainer block were given to a master people would still think it was really cool and level to master just for our novice skills. I count on my dance card over 80 special moves granted to master dancer and thats just the individual flourishes by themselves. No combat class is granted this much versitility. I think we more then get our points worth our of this class

hehe, if you don't think it's fair, you should check out the sp requirement for novice CM and how much we suck until we get master

or how about the SP required for Novice BH.

I think alot of the replies have missed the point of the original question. The point I think is being made is that with all our wonderful moves/songs we are still limited to only being able to do 3 things: heal mind, heal bf, buff ONE primary stat OR two secondaries. With all those points and only 3 abilities, which do not change when you get to master, they only improve the speed of healing and the duration/size of the buff. But still only 3 abilities. ALSO we cannot do any of these at will, we must be in a cantina. Even in a camp we are limited and lose the ability to heal bf. I am still master dancer because I love it, but I fear for the survival of this profession.

I also fear for the Dancer and Musician profession, but not for these reasons.

Firstly, the Dancer and Musician are the only two classes that can heal BF. Mind wounds can be healed, I think, by CMs but at a cost of their own mind (correct me if I'm wrong here).

As for only being able to do these things in cantinas and camps, all I can say is GOOD! In my opinion, the worst thing the devs did is alow docs to be able to buff people anywhere because of the med droids. Now, instead of being in the hospitals where they should be, they're crowding the starports. Hospitals are dead. I fear the day that cantinas will be as well.
