Hi there,
iv just picked up novice SL on my group char, which will be a MD 1034 SL (since i never really go into combat on him anyway i figured some SL would be a lot more usefull than combat skills)
iv been digging about the faq and searching the forums, but i have a few questions on these two skills.
now from what i understand rally lasts for 1 min and increces defences and ho-hit bonus, things im unclear on;
1) dose it cause mind wounds to use this? or is it just a large portion of the mind pool
2) by combat defence i take it it means ranged and melee?
3) dose anyone have any numbers on the modifiers? (or the actual modifiers used, im thinking its extra melee and ranged defence or something)
for retreat pretty much al i know is that its burstrun for all but me in the group, so:
1) how long dose it last?
2) is it on a timer or can you just use it repetadly?
3) how much of a chance is there of it not activateing?
thx for any responces 
also if theres anything else you guys can think of i should know fee free to say so

Don't use /rally. Just don't. Most of the time it fails and when it does the bonuses aren't significant in the least. Using /rally or /retreat doesn't cause wounds, but it takes a ton of HAM away unless your Focus whatever Action sub-pool isn't buffed. The devs won't release actual numbers for /rally.
/retreat lasts for 20 seconds. So I put it in a loop to run every 21 seconds to keep my group continously burst running. It always works.

To expand on this a bit, because I have some questions also:
1. Can a doctor or medic heal/cure states/rez/drag while /retreat is being used?
2. Is there a range on /retreat? For example: Can the SL be standing in the Labor Outpost on Yavin, hit /retreat, and the team in the Geo Cave be effected?
These are my 2 questions regarding /retreat....I already know about not using /rally

1. Yes, as long as you can do those actions while under the affect of a /burstrun.
2. I'm not sure on the range, sorry. I *think* it is as long as they are within the same server boundries as you.

Ive havent tried my SL out on yavin but i can tell you that when I was at the nightsister stronghold and the SL at the science outpost i was still receiving the mods. Thats a similar distance as labor outpost to geo so it should work. I believe it works as long as your on same planet but im not positive on that.
