Squad Leader Archive

for 17 skill points. You get nothing remarkable while the XP is very easy to get those skill points can be spent in areas far more usefull like medic, scout, marksman,etc.. I would love a compelling argument other than you get "master" in your title. To even take the 2nd row. As Volley Fire does not used the current special and only affects ranged attacked and gives no bonus. It is just pointless. And to actually master it is a freeking insult... the bonus you recieve are pathetic...

master rifleman, Strafe2 and weapon speed and accuracy... now that is worth it.

+5 group terain negotiation??? What kind of master bonus is this?

Flame away with your usefull arguments!

You're absolutely right. There is no point of being a Master Squad Leader except for the "prestige" of being the few, the proud ... a Squad Leader

This week I dropped MSL and went 0/1/1/3 (prolly will go 0/1/1/4). All the specials are in the those boxes (except /boostmorale, but that's near pointless). Using those extra skillpoints, I'm going for the Pistol Techniques tree in Pistoleer; those state defenses against Dizzy/Knockdown are nice since you can't run your macros while dizzy/kd. Then I have Master Rifleman with some medic skills.

Certainly not worth burning valuable skill points for MSL. You think they'd at least put a special in the Master box ...

Boost morale is highly useful for long drawn out engagements, especially if you have CM's healing peoples mind. Just get a few TK's in the group have them meditate, and your entire group will be Wound free in a matter of minutes. Its great.

Im keeping so when they change the SL exp so its like normal and master SL does become useful. After the exp change it will be much harder to grind it, and I'd already have it . And if you ask me, the Master title does get you more respect

Master squad leaders are the only ones that can destroy factional bases I think. Can't remember.

i would suggest that you grab at least the terrain negotiation of SL because it is greatly appreciated by those without scout skill (i.e. Jedi who are quite good to have) Since you get 50 points of terrain negotiation a person with no scout can go as fast up a mountain as someone with Exploration4. Since running speed caps at 50 and the rest goes to crawling speed than you wont make your group unporpotionately fast so that people get left behind. However if you remain with no negotiation then you suffer from unproportionate amounts of terrain negotiation.

Also boostmorale is cool. Now you are a rifleman which is cool but if you were a pistoleer you would have those defenses as part of your profession and you could pick up BH pistols to be really badass. of course as a rifleman it is not necessary to grab BH stuff to be good so whatever.

Question: Does retreat last longer at master then at 4044?

-Nisdain Vesrial / Caspers Neetakka

Nope, all the same, 20 "game" seconds. ((HINT: thats when the always burst macro comes in))

i dropped back to 1-0-3-4

i have maxed group defense (minus what u get in the box at master.......which IS the only reaon to get master.....no other reason is worth maste rother than the group defense bonuses on top)

i have GTN +25 and with tapes i have like +35 which aint bad (anything afetr 50 is a waste and no one cares about burst rune fficiency )

ive got retreat

volley fire is a waste

Steady Aim needs to have a better and more define dmodifier to be of much importance to me.......in PvP most of the guys i PvP with have extremely high accuracy mods to begin with.

boost morale is worthless for PvP..its good for PvE if u have 2 or 3 TKM's with you but thats about it.
