GreetingsSquad Leaders,


Ever since I have unlocked the FS slot back on Feb 10th I have been looking at some of the skills Jedi have and thinking how cool it would be if some of these skills were givin to other professions. (Exp: Animal Calm to Master CH's, something close to force run 1 for Master Rangers, etc)


The skill I think would make sense to share with Master Squad Leaders is either Force Intimidate 1(Reduces target’s damage to 33% for 60 seconds; cone attack) or Force Intimidate 2 (Reduces target’s damage to 33% for 90 seconds; area attack).


It seems logical that a Master Squad Leader would be very intimidating to go up against. Hence I think the skill makes sense.


This skill would help to make Squad Leaders a lot more powerful and useful then they are now.

That's not a bad idea at all. However, it would have to be a toned-down intimidate. Being able to area intimidate, dropping all affected to 33%, seems almost [i]overly[/i] effective. Something closer to 50%, I think, would be more suitable.

I really don't think this would be the best idea. Squad Leaders are a Marksman/Scout profession. If we had an intimidate of any kind it would have to be justified by a Brawler prerequisite.

Think outside the box bro. (You dont have to be holding a stick to be intimidating)

Is there a significant difference between stun and intimidate? I know both reduce the opponents damage output. If they want to keep intimidate as a brawler based thing, give us an area of effect stun instead.

I like this idea better.


Stun reduces damage output slightly, and reduces your enemies defenses.

Plus not all SL's have ranged secondary professions.. I am a MSL/MFencer for example...


I also think it should be a area intimidate with the range determined by the distance of each person i your group. For example every enemy standing/kneeling/prone within 7 meters of any member of the SL's group is affected.

I think it's a great idea man. Nothing's more intimidating than facing a group of players who is led by someone who knows what they're doing. Well, except maybe if that same group hada couple of glowsticks circling around them.

I like this also.. it relates better to the SL profession. Or here's a idea based off of that... SL only usable stun grenades... there goes our proffession specific weapon....
