Thread: so general SL forum consensus would you mind being a SL and new Droid commander in one prof?

Most people wouldn't mind it...but if its pets or E-Web we go E-Web. If its pets or /formup2 we go formup2. If it pets or any cool squad enhancing ability we go with the squad enhancing ability. SL don't want pets to be a primary or secondary focus of the profession. If we can get all our cool stuff and pets then fine, we'd take it. At least many of us would. There are SL that are absolutely opposed to pets counting for anything with SL. The first few months on this forum we dedicated to an argument about whether pets should count toward SL xp or not. There were a lot of players vehemently opposed to pets even giving you xp if you grouped with them (being part of the multiplier you got) or being affected by SL abilities. Hasn't been mentioned since xp changed for us.
So I guess the answer is: If it can be worked in. If we can have our cake and eat it too. But not if it means we have to sacrifice some PC enhancing ability we would have otherwise had.
Well said. So in a way I'm for NPC pets with SL but not at the expense of much needed skills.

I would mind.... We are not just some profesions that carys npc's in there pockets... we need to be the strong profesion!!! who is continually changing formations and shouting orders giving buffs to people in group increasing there acuracy... doing warcry's not mix mashed in npc's...
We should be the person everyone looks up too... who has other profesions to keep him in power but yet holds his power in his group... is the voice of the group...
Squad leader needs to be a much more non joke elite profesion thats hard to obtain and hard to use yet highly rewarding
Please, please, please.... for the love of Lucas, don't make SL's pet handlers.
Squad Leadership is a novel and new concept... the extra skills and bonuses, to lead a group of PLAYERS into harm's way. There have always been, and will always be, natural leaders for groups -- SWG's SL is the first to give them the tools and profession to be recognized.
It's fine if there are pets and droids as part of the group. In fact, if you want to make it an SL power to allow all group members to call one extra pet, that would be great! But please, let us lead people, not pets.
