Actually you don't need a mastery to get CL 80. I was saber 0404, Enhancer 2002, Defender 4140 and healer 3000. I had 60 skill points left unused, I did not have any normal professions and my CL was 80.

Also, I did some testing back during TC-CU to try and figure out when and how you gain each CL. I found that with pure combat professions (not including jedi) you gain a certain amount of health and CL pointsbased on how many skill points you spent and what level of skill boxes you spent them on.

For novice professions (brawler and marksman) you gain CL per box like 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 0, 0, 2, 2..etc. where the master box gives you 3 points (if I recall correctly).

For elite professions you get CL per box in increments 3, 3, 4, 3with the novice box being 2 points I think and master is 3 points. But it still depends on what order you spent your skill points. If you train up a branch first (box 1, box 2, 3, 4) your CL will progress differently than if you trained by tiers first (box 1, box 1 box 1, box 1....then box 2, box 2...etc.)

For medic, doc and CM, the points awarded are slightly lower than pure combat professions.

For jedi, the points awarded seem to be something like 4, 3, 4, 3 where novice boxes are either 1 or 2 depending on what you have trained already.....I'm not sure about the master boxes though as I don't have a master box yet.

Anyway I definitely know that jedi boxes give more CL points than elite professions or novice professions.

So this is why I think you only need 4 full branches in any jedi tree or any combination of trees like I had.

Actually, I posted the wrong numbers. Was looking at the wrong sheet when I posted. Anyway, the format is still the same. Over at SWG Wiki, they have a CL list that states the cost of training a skill box is how your CL is calculated. However, when I followed it's format and compared it to my own testing, I found that the amount of health it said that gets added to your health for every CL you gain was off by 25 points in some areas. The CL points you gain was off by 1 point in some areas.

FYI, My test were done using the frogs on TC when Cu was still there. To my knowledge the way CL works hasn't changed since then. It's quite possible it has and the devs haven't told us, so I can't honestly say that the levels are off on the SWG wiki site.

Anyway, what I did with the frogs is that I dropped all my skill points. Then I trained a novice box, did the math to find out how much health and skill points was added by trainging that one box. I did that with every single box for every single profession except jedi because I did not have access to a jedi character on TC. I acutally had a jedi on TC-AHAZI when it was up for CU testing, but it was only up for 2 days and I just so happen to not have played that week.

So for novice I found that if you start from zero skill points spent, your first box you train for brawler and marksman, you will always getthe same order of CL points and health. The medic profession is on a slightly different scale and a master medic will not have the same combat level as a master brawler. The medic will be a lower CL at master than the brawler would be. So for the brawler and marksman trees I get the following order....

Train a level 1 box......you get1 point added to your current combat level but no health.

Train a level2 box......you get another 1 point to CL and an addtional75to health. If you train another level 1 box you get nothing

Traina level 3 box......you get another 1 point to CL andan addtional 50 to health.

Train a level 4 box......you get 2 points to CL and an additional 50to health. At this point you can train another level 1 box and a level 2 box insteadof the level 4 box but you will only get 1point to CL and25 health instead (not sure on theexact health amount though)

Nowlets say you have trained brawler 0004 because you want to be a pikeman. You now have to trainthe2h line of brawler (0040)so you can get to novice pikeman.At brawler 0004, you should have earned 5 points to your CL and a total of 175 to health.

now you train and have 0014. you will get no CLpoints and no health.

You train and have 0024. You again get no CL pointsand no health.

now you train and have 0034. still no CL or health.

Train 0044 and you get anothere 2points toCL and75 health.

at this point if you decide you wanted to do master brawler, you will not recieve any more CL points or health untilyou train 0444 which will give you2 CL and50 health. THen when you train 2444, you get another 1 CL and 25 health.THen at Brawler4444 you would gain 2 CL and 25 more health. at this point you should have 12 CL and 350 added to health.The master box will give you 3 CL and 25 to health. So as a master brawler, you combat level will be 15 and you would have 375 added to your health giving you 1375. A master medic would only get 1350 health and a slightly lower combat level.
