Squad Leader Archive

I though Squad Leader was first in line to get mind heal if they ever implement it.

On Test Server CM got mind heal.

I don't see it on Squad Leader tree.

Did we miss out on it again?

please, please, please tell me you're joking.

I might just give up Squad Leader if this is true.

Yep, Kavedawg (the CM correspondent) verifies that on Test Center CM's now get /healmind. As far as I'm concerned this may as well be the death knell for Squad Leader. It has been obvious for months thatSquad Leader was the red-headed stepchild of SWG, but the whole profession just became a complete and total waste of points.If this cahnge goes live for CM's before the Devs so much as even acknowdge anything we've been complaining about since July, I will likely drop Squad Leader completely. This is ridiculous.

Are they trying to make CM's the new Squad Leader? I've also heard thatCM's now give group terrain negotiation bonuses but haven't verified this for myself.

I'm beginning to seriously think they are trying to get rid of Squad Leader. Like we've seen before it is easier to nerf than to fix. And this would be the mother of all nerfs.

Yeah just saw this and ran right over to post something. SImply crazy.

When the time finally comes (if it comes) to fix SL, they'll say: "well we cant give you any mind healing because that would take away from CM."

Ash, Combat Medics only get solo Terrain Nav, not a group bonus. This mind heal stuff still blows dogs, though.

I disagree. In fact, I think it fits in perfect with the Squad Leader.

Mind wounds are due to mental stresses and fatigue. That's why they are healed by entertainers not doctors.One of the most important rules of leadership is taking care of you people. By taking care of them you remove stress, increase morale, and make them more certain of you leadership ability.

When I first saw the /boostmorale ability, this is what I thought it was.

Cm is going to be virtually unbeatable now. Heal heal heal healmind heal heal heal ect ect This is rediculous.

There is some stiff penalty to using hte mind heal, so it wouldn't be used heavily, or make CM any more uber than they currently are.

But since it is extremly useful in waking up any squad memeber who are incapped with mind damage so they can at least run to safer place and rest, it is something I see squad leader do, sacrifice some of his mind so his fallen member can run to safety.

If you feel strongly about it, I'd say head on over to Test Center forum and add your voice.
