How many people do you think have a Pet? Especially since they came free with RoTW. I bet evey /mount or "attack" counts toward the CH number.

I agree that SL is the bottum of the list, but what is up with CH being above jedi? That listshows more people have CH than any one jedi mastery.
Jedi are split into several jedi branches, that's why they are not the number one. The way i understand it, they calculated how many skillboxes of which branch are in use in the game. So, MSL gives 18 skillboxes for SL. The average jedi for example has healer 4000. This is only 5 skillboxes in the jedi healer branch. So the total of jedi skills distributes over several of the jedi "professions" there, while the normal professions only have one entry each.
Just take a look at the block:
Force Defender
Force Enhancer
Force Healer
Light Saber Mastery
They are one block in the upper 40% of the list. If you would add them up, they'd for sure rival BH, probably outnumber it.
Anyways, i think the "the few, the proud" is confirmed again. There's not many like us. So we better grind our teeth together and keep going!
Every Jedi must dabble in 4000 Healer, making it the most common Jedi skillset in the game.

The Master list tells clearly what I have been saying for so long... No-one in the game is more shafted than Master Healers and Master Enhancers. We can finally stop being compared to Defenders...

You guys are the rarest non-Jedi mastery as well.
I am personally a Master Healer, so I send my sympathy.
Awesome! I am soo glad that I picked SL as my would-be elite profession.. In EQ1, I played Shadowknight class from day one and still playing it even today. It was the LEAST class of all the time for LONG time and SK was badly broken class at start for several years and now its very good class and I endured all but It was my most challenging experience ever and it brings me great enjoyment. I always love challenges and hardships as always cuz I design characters based on my true roleplaying characters that I wanted it to be. I never chase min/max numbers and any classes/professions that shine the best. Because they are made to improve or to be nerfed over years. NO professions or classes will be BEST over 5 or 10 years. They will have their own moments.. If you want to play a LONG-term character then design it based on your roleplaying preference and your RL preferences such as leading groups, have great sense of leadership, etc then SQL is right for you. News flash.. SQL will shine one day later on in future expansions or some great fixes. But its always great to tell people that you chose SL from day one and endured everything thru. It will help you to become most veteran player who had seen everything in SQL's profession.. I envy ya that I wished to play SWG 2 years ago so I can see everything. ;( But I play now part-time and will keep at becoming Master SQL someday and keep at it for years to come by no matter if SQL got nerfed or got better..
When I heard that you said SQL is least profession of all, it put smile on my face cuz It reminded me of my early years as Shadowknight being least class for long time and I enjoyed being one of RARE class.. SQL seems is rare profession and I hope it to stay that way. I don't mind that SQL gets improved but it should be hard to master it via RL skills to do it instead of letting AFK grinding to cheat their way up to master squadleader if it got improved.. I hate AFK grindings. ;(
I even encountered players in game lately and they ALL said, "WHY do you want to become SL?? IT SUCKS!! It offers you nothing." I said, "So? I wanted to become one cuz it fits my roleplaying character design and nothing can beat that. I don't care about "BEST" professions that everyone should take cuz it is EASIEST way to farm for money, xp grinding, etc etc. Plus, I NEVER follow the majority. I go opposite always and always follow my heart of roleplaying design of character develop and tell stories about it.. If I follow the cookie-cutter majority then what's the point of playing if everyone else plays the same thing? IT gets boring quickly.."
I wrote down their guild names and won't join theirs cuz their guilds seems to focus on min/max and number crunching instead of roleplaying that everyone really play out their professions to their truest heart.. It's funny that EQ population told me that roleplaying do not exist in EQ world and I still roleplaying as evil knight corrupting things and preach hatred across the Norrath and people actually thought I was maniac but later on, they came to respect my roleplaying character and admire itcuz its just so rare to see players to roleplay in those MMORPG lately..
I'm looking forward to become Master Squadleader someday. Even though it takes years to achieve that cuz most of my time still is in EQ worlds and can't give it up..
