I won't lie. I'm thinking about respecing into SL from Master Carbineer. As I tend to hunt in groups more often than not, I think the SL skills will be beneficial to the group.
But... that being said I have a few questions...
Is SL an effective class without a group in tow?
WIll I get hosed when I'm off checking my harvestors or trading in XP for FS?
Does the Retreat command work the same way MOB's retreat now? - they can't be damaged while retreating.
Thanks for everyone's time and input.

1) Not really.. the SL bonuses & specials ONLY work if you're in a group. Although, being a Master SL will give you use of the E5 Carbine & Intimidator Pistol. Of course, you can always just group with a pet or droid, and use your bonuses, but I doubt you'll get much benefit that way.
2) Well, I never have.. But I'm a Master Carbineer/Master SL, so I have my carbine skills to rely on when I'm solo.
3) No. /retreat just gives your group (minus yourself) a BurstRun for about 30 seconds.

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like a good secondary class, but not a main class then, unless you ONLY hunt in groups.
hmm... drop master shipwright to pick up some SL.... don't know about that.

The retreat gives people in your group 60 seconds of burstrun. I never heard of people in your group not taking any damage. Thats just wrong, think of pvp for a sec.
You can however group with a pet. You can use all your skills except for retreat. So you get defence and +60 terrian negotiation. Also if you have scout 4xxx then you'll have a total of100 terrian negotiation. With this you can crawl very fast, about three times your normal speed.
Im MSL / Pistoleer / Medic 0240. This template helps me from getting slaughtered when hanging out at home on dantooine. You have the mods as I described above along with root.
Remember CU requires grouping to do ANYTHING now. So being a MSL will get you a lot of friends.
