Squad Leader Archive

Thought it would be a nice concept but after a couple of weeks now as Master Squad Leader I can't really see the point. I'm dropping Squad Leader to go for Doctor. My group will benefit more from my /revive and from my healing during combat than from my Squad Leader Skills.

I do have hope that they will make the class viable in the long run. It just a question of how long will it be before the class is 1/2 decent. Take care all! My PA and friends come first and I feel that I can lead just as effectivley as a Doctor as I can currently as a Squad Leader.

Wonderful community here and I hope that the Squad Leader Issues get addressed soon for you all!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Why hast thou forsaken me!?!? Just kidding. Have fun, doc.

I hear ya. I am starting to get close to Master SL. I have up through Tactics IV, Leadership III...and what else is even worth it? I used rally a couple times, testing out what the bump was, standing in the same place, firing on the same non-moving mob...it was a +10 to hit. Rally failed three times before I got it work. All that time wasted, mind drained, for a stinking +10 to hit? And the melee guy in the group got no bump to his to-hit.

Did /retreat. Another waste. It drains 75% of your action and mind, regardless of how many people are in the group, lasts a short time, and does not affect you.

I also have Mobility III. Nice to be able to crawl quickly around the med fac, kind of funny to have crawl races, but no significant combat usage. Burst run? Haven't really had a time when it was necessary, though I am starting to use it more in combat to make it to make it to a fleeing NPC and pistolwhip them to the ground. Surprisingly the Burst Run efficiency is coming in as handier than the terrain movement.

Not interested in the strategy line at all but have to have em to master...and once I master I suppose I'll hand onto the class long enough to wonder why I'm not just a bounty hunter. That's what I have for ya.

Oh, one last tidbit, I haven't done this myself, but I would like to have a duel between two people, one party member one non-member with me starting off as the party leader. Then I /makeleader someone else and find out from the non-member if his to-hit bonus went up and by how much (to see if the passive defense bonuses are working.) If someone else wants to do this and report I'd appreciate it (without the game at the time being.)
