Thread: Squad Leader: Template Factory
I've been grinding up SL after mastering Commando and wanted to know if this would be a good template:
Mcommando
MSL
Either Novice CM or 0040 Medic
So far I'm at Mcommando 2422 SL and I still have 4000 CM which I haven't dropped yet.
I'm working up MSL to go with my TKM. Along with that, I currently have the marksman line of pistols trained up (to help pistol xp for the MSL grind) and Novice Commando with box 1 of beam weapons (for the general ranged accuracy). I am still deciding on what I want to do beyond MSL/TKM. I'll either: drop pistols and train up the beam line of commando, keep pistols and drop commando so I can pick up novice pistoleer, or I'll drop pistols and commando for the carbine line and novice carbines.
I like this template becuase it allows me to have the defense of TKM (the tank profession) but I can do more damage with a ranged weapon than unarmed, and the SL buffs can help me fill in damage or defense where needed.
Before this, I was all melee and got bored with it. Now I'm a ranged fighter with: full Innate Armor, powerboost, meditate (for healing between battles), clothing while fighting (I can look good and different from everybody else in a fight in armor and I can use some good ol' CAs), and ICoB (macroed to unequip my gun, CoB, and reequip)
