Thread: A new Squad Leader!
So last night I had a strange soul-searching moment where I realized being a crafter was nearly pointless in SWG. I spent all my money and time making a product that had the sole purpose of making me more money, which I then spent to make more product... A cycle that was very draining and felt less like a game and more like a job. The sad part was that after three months of playing, I had only been off my starting planet ONCE and that was to get resources...to make more product to make more money... <sigh>
So in a moment of passion, I relenquished all my crafting skills. Byebye!
But what did I want to become? Well, I definitely wanted to switch playing modes... Go full combat, find an overt guild and such. Looking at my skills, I realized I already qualified for a number of elite professions including both Pistoleer and Squad Leader. Hey, I always loved leading groups and raids in other games, sounds perfect!
A quick trip to the trainers and voila! A new Squad Leader is born. Heck, I even blew 20k on a wardrobe change so I look more authoritative. Now all I need is a Squad to Lead hehe. Anyone on Tarquinas want to go hunting?

Congratulations Djen. I hope you have as good a time as I have!
Welcome, now keep in mind that the SL profession is completely about what you put into it right now. The skills and bonuses aren't that great, but by skillfull use of the /sys command (checkout the tips and macros posts), you can have alot of fun as an SL.
If you are looking to level fast in SL, then you may have a problem. I my experience, the best and most enjoyable/efficient way to play SL does not produce a great deal of XP. Your SL XP is gained by an equation that includes how much damage you do personnally. If you are being a good SL and keeping "the big picture" you may not ever shoot at an enemy yourself, so that is a bit of a contradiction.
My biggest piece of advice to make yourself usefull to a group and have fun, is to keep your group informed as to what your intentions are and use /sys often to control that group.
