I just wanted to say Thank You! to all of those who created posts on nade grinding.
I wasn't considering doing it at first. I was a Master Pistoleer/ Master Swordsman/ 4-0-4-0 Scout. I loved pistols because I thought it represented a true Star Wars profession. It was also the first one I picked up so I had quite a fondness to it. I picked up Swordsman when I read an interview with George Lucas where he said that he based a lot of the first trilogy Jedi's on the two-handed style of fighting. Seeing as though Iplanned on becoming a Jedi, I thought that would be a nice touch to get me prepared. Little did I know how much power it had...and I love it! I was taking down mobs with Novice Swordsman that I couldn't dream of tackling with Master Pistols.
Anyways, enough of my rambling. Once I was pointed in the direction of an up-to-date skill calculator (special thank you's to ReinerdOne), I realized that I would have to end up sacrificing almost all skills anywaysto become a fully trained Jedi. At this point, I made the decision to go 4-0-0-0 commando.
Wow, I can't believe what a difference it makes. With the upcoming CURB, I feared that grinding would soon become even more difficult than it already was for me. I've been FS for a few months now. I have unlocked three branches...and take a guess as to how many boxes filled up? TWO...in one tree. I played almost everyday and for a full buff session. After a day or two of taking time to get the prerequisits, I finally had enough combat xp to train in novice and box one. Last night I got to try it out for the first time and I got 100k combat xp in less than an hour...with only the first box! I was amazed! It would take me about 2-3 buff sessions to get that much using swords/pistols.
To those of you who hate it, flame me if you'd like. To those of you who love your template and hate to give it up like I did, atleast consider it. I guess I'd call myself a "casual gamer" because I really don't have as much time to invest in the game as I'd like (although I am glued to it on the weekends...hehe). This will really aid me in becominga Jedi. I can't wait to see what the fourth box brings! Thank you again to all those who posted their ways to do it and the successes it brought them. I know I love it!
