Hell, the squadleader's 2 best commands don't even work on himself! (formup and retreat) If anything should be changed about retreat it should be made more powerful considering the skillpoints required to be an effective squadleader (125 sp to be 3234 SL). While i'm on the topic, some more useful abilities and bonuses should be given for MSL since there is really no reason to go higher than 3234 SL.
Don't worry about it. We Squad Leaders are working towards the new form of combat. And when you see our place in the CURB, all of this will make sense.
Things are getting better, not worse.

Chill guy, have faith. SL can only get better from here on out. they would have to try seriously hard to make it worse 
. Retreat was never supposed to work the way it does, and if your group gets upset becasue you saved someone from fire or disease then i would say go get a new group. Boost Morale is supposed to be be damage, and not wounds anyway. The dev's know about this special and it was supposed to get fixed back around 8 or 9 i think. I know what this should do, they know what it should do. I have hopes they will make this damage rather then wounds or give us something more useful than it currently is.

Form Up does work on the SL also.
You just can't be Dizzy to use it.
You can use it while Stunned, however.

/Formup is one ofthe keyreasons to become a SL, but the problem is while it curesdizzy,you can't use it while dizzy. If they made it so you couldn't /formup while blind this would be much less of an issue, as you could still heal dizzy/stun.

I don't mind not being able to Form Up while Dizzied. It forces your group to actually think about their Squad Leader, and make sure he's protected, just like you'd protect a Doc. A good SL shouldn't have to worry about getting Dizzied anyway, if he's doing his job well.

I don't mind not being able to either, but many still see it as a "problem" or "weakness" to being a SL. If it was changed to blind, i'm not saying it should be, and i personally would oppose the change, there would simply be less complaining.

Being dizzies is a pain for me but I'm a melee SL
I just make sure I stick with the doc and they heal my dizzy as whenever I get dizzied. Not too much of a problem.

And a good group would know that thier immunity to stun and dizzy lies within the squad leader, so they would do their best to protect that asset in their group.
