Squad Leader Archive

if your using formup in pvp and its working the state was probally laid on your team by those pesky faction npcs. of course this is mr positive speaking again, but as an imp formup has become one of my most frequently used specials in pvp, those darn rebel npc love to lay some dizzy.

3)Boost Morale, when a TKM is meditating a Squad Leader can use this ability to take away wounds from other members of the group, the TKM can then meditate them away. Great for pvping, for when you dont have a healer or doctor in your group, or if your way out in the middle of no where.

7)Retreat. This is the second best ability a SL has. Gives the entire group a burst run. A macro can be set up so the group has non stop burst run. This is usefull for looting, getting past hard areas to get loot, and my favorite, killing noob jedi XP camping on kashyyk. You get in, get out before anyone knows, plus you run so fast the npc's cant keep up with you. Burst run is also nice to have on Bounty Hunting missions where the jedi has force run.
Can also be used for hunting big game like krayts when you need to get the group out of danger.

These are pre-CU applications. I haven't seen enough woulds post-CU(except on new pilots) to make use of Boost Morale, and as mentioned above a Retreat macro will kill your action very very quickly. Only time I use it is if the group is spread out over a very large area to help regrouping, and once when a low CL character had aggro'ed alot of stuff.

And we are all VERY glad to have this special that cures our team fro the occasional random dizzy shot in by the rare NPC that shows up while in PVP. We would be even MORE glad if stats actually affected so that healing the state meant more than just clearing a particle affect.

in any base engagement the rebel npcs are actually giving us a good go, they respawn every 5 minutes and they are allspamming dizzy stun and kd like crazy, the opposition finds this a great time to rush us.formup seems to be handy.

I didn't disagree with you there. I pointed out that right now with them only being particle effects, and not actually affecting the player stats....all youare doing in clearing an annoying particle annimation on the screen. Their abilities are not affected or fixed by your use of the command. Now this will change when they finally get this fixed. Many are anticipating that as stun reduced action regen, and anyone with a a stun attack will be doing rather well in PVP. Sadly, that means that PCs will be using it on our groups as well, and with the devs removing the ability to clear it in PVP....youll be clearing ti by the NPCs only to not be able to clear it from the shots from the other players.

boo. that would've been good to know. missed that one in the combat upgrade instruction manual hehe. i had heard that stun was affecting accuaracy, i hadn't questioned this cause it seems we miss more when under the effects. /shrug i think i'll keep clearing it for good measure lol!

Well, the search feature is busted so I can't find the posts I need, but I know stun is for action regen, and I thought reduced accuracy was from being blind...after all...you are blind...so I dont see ( ) how you could be missing more while stunned. Now if stun did an action reduciton and lowers accuracy, that would be a bit over kill I would think...but it has been a few weeks since I saw what they were suppsed to do. I only paid attention to what stun did as on my alt..stun was an important reason for going with the temp I did.

It saddens me to have read that thread. I mean, in all actuality what is the point? I still am not giving up MSL though. But still, I mean, should I instead wear MCarbs tag? *sigh* I love being MSL and will not give it up for anything. Carbines be damned. Every game I've played I've been in one way or another an SL. Rallying the troops (or undead as the case may be), getting them pumped for action. And the people I played with in that online game, didn't know me any better than anyone here. If that means that I will have to go grab noobs, then that's what I'll do. I'll teach them about the SL profession. Now this post has riled me up to no end, but in a good way mind you all. If that's what we have to do, let's do it. Let's stop complaining amongst ourselves show these players that we're just broke, not worthless. Let's teach these newbs a lesson they will never forget and call one of us when they're in a jam. I myself have been slacking and I'm normally tagged a Helper too. Let's get out of the Cantina's and get back to work in this game. Let's do the job everyone else doesn't want to do. We have to make sacrifices if we wish to get anywhere or anything like giving up quest getting for a small amount of time, even if it is just once a week we give it up. If you're on Kettemoor give me a shout and we can get something going. I remember seeing spam about newbs who wished to hunt when I started last year. We of all people should be doing this again, to solve the "hatred" other players have against us. (not a real hatred per se, but you get what I'm saying).

"Every game I've played I've been in one way or another an SL" Must be my long lost brother. In every game, from pub servers to ladder, thats always been my role. While everyone els is going rambo and padding their stats, I'm trying to get my team the win. If that means I dont fire one shot and just support my team with what ever they need, then thats what I'm doing. Getting a little difficult to do that on here lately, since it seems whe're used for little more then the equivilent of a couple of skill enhancing attachments at times.

Forunatly theres a couple groups of pvpers I run into somtimes that take advantage of every profession they can round up but on the norm, its just a spam fight with no real cohesion.
