I've heard some of the bonuses that you can give your troops don't actually affect your own toon.
What I'm worried about is picking up 0044 SL and then finding that I'm defenceless myself.
If any kind soul could tell me without doubt that the bonuses given at 0044 (Retreat, Form up and the Defences) will work on myself as well as the other guys in my group then I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance........................hope that I'm not asking the n00b question of the year

retreat does not apply to you, the passives do, and formup cannot be used while dizzy, but can be used while stunned, making that a 50% use special (For applying to yourself)
If you are worried about what effect being a Squad Leader will have on you, honestly, you might be better off not being a Squad Leader.

Retreat is more of a hassle.
The only skills that you should be interested is.
Form up and Steady aim.
Run a steady aim macro and possibly run a form up or simply look at your party tab to see if anyone has states. Retreat is nice but it only last for 10 seconds or so and cancel outs normal burst run which last for 30 seconds and seriously prevents jedi from using force run *too bad it doesn't effect the other side heh*

retreat lasts 20 seconds and DOES NOT use a burst run. It does mess with Jedi's forcerun though.

This is the primary statement that describes SL. It isn't so much about you, it's what you can do for the group. I have MSL and I tell my guild all the time I mastered it for them, not for me. I want them to be better, and they appreciate it.

Thanks for all your comments guys
A lot of people added that if I was worried about the skills not applying to myself then I shouldn't really be thinking about SL, there is method behind my madness you see.
I was BH 3400, Master Carbs and was toying with the idea of picking up the 0044 in SL too BECAUSE I could group with my AS alt and remove the states, burst run and have loads more defences for when I'm taking on Jedi. As a bonus I'd be able to apply the SL skills in larger scales battles and that doesn't bother me at all, my main thinking though was all driven to how well my template would work for me as a BH solo'ing or in a small group.
Since everyones help I've decided to go BH 4440, Master Carbs, Pistoleer 0043. I'm enjoying it a lot but may go for the SL option at a later date, I really do like the idea of it all, just a shame that it wouldn't have been as effective against teh Jedi as I'd liked.

Which is why it's a hassle and sometimes when I use retreat it doesn't seem to activate.
