Squad Leader Archive

/retreat also works like a shot of NOS on vehicles! Yummy...well, for everybody but us poor Squad Leaders who don't get the benefit, just the cost.

can AT-STs and other faction pets gain burst run and terrain neg from a sl ?

Does the defensive bonuses gained from having a sl in the group matter over range ? Like if the squad leader was 500m away from the rest of the group can the sl still give bonuses and use abilities like retreat ?

Pets don't benefit from a SL's burst run efficiency or group terrain negotiation bonuses, no. Although I think there is a bug with Mounts, where things like /retreat will effect a mounted character.

And yes, range does matter. If you're close enough to show up on the SL's radar, then I think you're close enough. Not entirely sure tho.

A sad testimony to the current problems with Squad Leaders... I believe that our passives work for everyone in the group if we are near them or not...but noone is certain on this because our abilities are so insignifigant that noone can tell that they have them in the first place.

....

/sigh

Well, I assume the passives work anywhere. Terrain Negotiation does. My PA members group up with me and then go do harvester runs on Dant or other like worlds. I sit on corellia and they get the TN just fine. Same with /retreat. That works cross-planet. /retreat also works with grouped mounts but you cannot initiate retreat while mounted yourself. A galloping mount that receives /retreat really really moves.

you can also use volley fire, and rally with faction pets.

Faction pets get the steady aim bonus... I think.
