Thread: Why did you become a Squad Leader?
Squadleader
It just came naturally to my in character character and the more advanced the more I liked the nessecary teamwork and now its your sig:
"If the general is weak and not disciplined, his instructions not clear, the officers and troops lack discipline and their formation in disarray, this is called chaos."
Sun-Tzu "The Art of War"
Im there to avoid that chaos.
i never wanted to be an 'uber player'. just a desire to hold my own. i also liked the group dynamic and social aspects of grouping. my personality tends to be one of a leader, or so i'm told. so, when i got the game, read the manual and strategy guide i knew Squad Leader would be the perfect choice. havent looked back yet!
in fact, if i go the jedi path, i've been working on builds that will keep a lot of SL boxes, if not master. I call it a Jedi Leader.

I became a SL for my guild. we are a very sociable bunch and we enjoy hunting together mostly high end PvE but also some PvP. We mainly do PvE for the fun rather than for any loot. As soon as stop worrying about trying to grab high end loot, making money or bragging rights on what you can solo then you start working for the good of the group. I know that many in the guild appreciate my MSL coming out for a hunt and are happy for me to not really do much dmg if i am helping out the group as a whole. ![]()
I've played a few professions now, and a few crosses. I did the Rifle/CM thing, I did Rifle/Pistoleer, I tried Rifle/BH (notice a rifle trend here? Its been 20 months now). Rifle/Commando was hella fun, but not practicle in my PvPing. In the mix, I had done SL, dropped it for pistoleer to get the defenses, but found it was boring being just another stacker. Who cares? There's a ton of stackers out there, looking for the flavor of the month to play. I went back to Rifle/SL because I had the most fun there. I was out doing things with people, PvE and PvP, I enjoyed the leadership role (found I wasn't half bad at it), and hav had a few good chuckles when people whom I've played with since launch, whom are now full template Jedi, remark about how crazy it is that here I am with just enough force sensitive boxes to make my rifle a little faster and soon to be more accurate.
It also suits my personality/interests, being a military history buff. Its the closest thing one comes to being a battlefield general here, profession-wise anyway. Reputation-wise.. that's up to the players themselves, and how well they absorb and strive to truly understand greats such as Sun Tzu.
