Squad Leader Archive

Ok, I'm at the point where its time to really decide which way I really want my character to go.

I'm currently Master Scout, Novice Pistoleer,Expert Carbine, and Ranged Weapon Specialist, and have enough XP for Novice CH.

Here are the directions i'm looking at

1) Master Pistoleer / Master Creature Handler

2) Master Pistoleer / Master Squad Leader

3)Master Bounty Hunter

I like option 1, but I see CH's everywhere.

Option 2 sounds good also, but I figure if I'm going to gain 7.5k Combat XP for SL, I might as well stick it out and go for the 40k to become BH.

Which profession do you feel will be the most satisfying and enjoyable to play once Master status is obtained?

Most importantly, which do you feel will be the most fun? That's what really matters. Since this is the SL board, you're probably going to see some people in support of SL. That's what I plan to be, but here's the best news:

You can try them all out yourself. Good luck!

I am personally going Master Squad Leader, Master Creature Handler, Expert Pistol Tactics (or whatever one has Bodyshot3) and Intermediate Pistol Special Abilities (the one with Pistol Melee Defense) out of the Pistoleer tree. I should have 1 or 2 points left over, so thats my template. I am almost there myself, just need half of Squad Leader and 2 more boxes of CH.

This game is completely about what YOU think you will like and only that.

Yes, Vemnox, but since we're all human, sometimes we share certain things in common and can lend insight to each other based ona commonsimilarity of how we derive pleasure from various aspects of life. I don't think it's just a coincidence that I like a lot of popular music.

Gryshnak...I had the same problem and decided on Pistoleer/Squad Leader. For one, Creature Handler is already becoming the big supertrooper profession, it'll probably get nerfed. Secondly, Bounty Hunter is cool, but take a look at your specials! They're ALL combat related, and randomly defined. Most of them are useless and not really as powerful as they claim, if they work at all. Bounty Hunter is another very popular class, I think SOE is going to be hesitant to give it too much power right now.

That leaves us with Squad Leader. It's not exactly a popular profession, so you'll be unique. I like how the Abilities are well rounded. They're not just all damage modifying "specials", most of which you'll never use. There's a bunch of different types of Abilities that you get.Admittedly, the details of the Abilities could be better. There are issues. But I think it is one of the most promising professions in terms of improvement. And if there's any Profession that deserves improvement, it's the Squad Leader, because right now an SLislike Jesus Christ on steroids (strong and generous, but probablydead by the end of the day).
