Thread: A question?
I have a Novice CH on Flurry that is 1-1-1-2 at the moment. A question I have is am I reading the changes right? Right now I can pull out a GSP. From what I understood, now I will only be able to pull out a level 14 pet? If that is the case that will seriously handicap me. I have 4 GSP's full grown that I was going to use or sell. Could someone enlighten me? Does the pet level going up by 2 mean 2 for each box which means a level 20 pet at 1-1-1-1 or x2 which would mean a level 24 per at 1-1-1-1. Any help would be appreciated.

You'd be level 20 at 1/1/1/1, unless they've changed something since I read it last.

# of faction pets should be connected directly to Faction Rank, not to Class Abilities. Plus, this leaves little/no option for Neutral SL's.
Squad Leaders lead PEOPLE, not PETS.
But he is right!
Squad Leaders lead Squads, not pets!

ok nm i thought squad leaders lead squads of soldiers i also thought that stormtroopers and rebel soldiers where soldiers not pets
nm just an idea that i thought would help out more in squad situations

No offense taken and no bad blood.
But there is a basci problem underlying this idea:
You can't have everything. For the sake of game balance no single profession can have everything.
Now, if you give SLs command over NPCs (basically the same as creatures, just look different), it needs to be in balance with the CH, or the CH is done harm and injustice. Now, if we would have to spend as many skillpoints as a MCH to achieve the upper level of our Handling abilities, 2 trees are wasted.
Now for the second part of the problem:
If we want to have 2 full trees of creature(NPC) handling abilities, we only got 2 trees left (with lower abilities, Pets are useless. The current Stormtroopers (normal ones) have a CL of 23, so 3 Stormtrropers is about the most a Master CH can handle in Pets).
Now, if you would ask the Devs, to sulpply those 2 trees with E-Web, Fortifications, Group commands, drop offs, shuttling, overt tunring, Group Buffs, Group State Heals, they would simply fall out of their chairs in laughter and then kindl yreply "No way!"
Since the majority of Squad Leaders wants to lead their friends in battle and wants to support them, we are not willing to sacrifice the abilities we long for for a doubtful versatility of NPCs under our command.
A single Player is worth more than 10 NPCs, as he can thnk independantly and is a lot more usefull and efficient in Battle. I prefer a group of players over a group of NPCs a hundred times over!
And many of the SLs feel the same.
We (as in: the majority of Squad Leaders) do not want to command NPCs. Take it as a Dogma, take it as a forced opinion, take it as a God given present. But we won't bow before anyone willing to turn the Squad leader profession into a Pet controlling Lagfest!
