ROFLMFAO! I don't know much about Sqaud Leader, but from the sound of this I should stay away. I personally hate having a SL in my group, cause of the command spamming.

Yeah, I played this class soon after release, and beta people who saw my tag gave me tells expressing their pity. Newbies who saw me thought I would have some useful abilities or something, but of course they were sorely mistaken. The only thing it was useful for was leading groups to fort tusken before mounts, player cities or vehicles came out.

To try to regain some interest in the game I decided to master Squad Leader. In the past I loved organizing hunt parties and kind of think I have somewhat of a leadership mindset...Cool I thought, this may be fun!
So I master it before I really start playing with the features. The end result:
I got yelled at by team members and told to stop using rally before a mission because for a godawful amount of time after the mission was over no one was allowed to harvest while rallied? **edit** is this about? So the rest of that hunt one of the skills that seemed cool I was asked to quit using becuase it interferes with normal gameplay such as harvesting.
Then you have a skill called "boost morale" which to me means invigorate your fighters, excite them about battle, but ummmm....the result is it takes the wounds from the one moron that keeps dying and shares his wounds with the rest of the team. I don't know about that Bob, but that doesn't exactly raise my morale. Once again asked to not use this skill for the rest of the hunt.
By this time I was scared to try volley fire because it sounds like it makes everyone shoot at what you are shooting at, and with the splendid new AI, as you *force* John Doe to shoot your target, he ceases combat on his current target, allowing said target to gnaw his leg off.
The we have a several boxes with no skills granted.
The ONLY thing cool was the ability to practically run up and down a mountain on Dathomir, but this is basically useless on flatland planets like Tatooine.
So from what I gathered is its a profession that basically angers all of your members when you use the skills.
First of all rallying shouldnt stop someone from harvesting. Secondly Boost Morale is just screaming for a small group HAM boost that you can use like once an hour or something. Extra energy for a short time would definitely boost my morale.
I can see now why on the server I play theres maybe 2-3 players that are MSL's and thats probably because of a holocron.
