Steady Aim gives everyone the effect of /aim for one combat round. Yes, it is a waste of mind pool at this time.


Volley Shot adds an extra, regular/non-special, attack from your Squad members at your selected target.


The Mobility line is of marginal usefulness, particularly in PvP.


There is no good SL Play Guide at this time, mainly because everyone's style is so different, and its something many people feel you must simply learn, not read.

lemme get this straight... when a SL does steadyaim, it costs 650 mind pool... and will usually decrease the amount of SL experience they will get because 1. they could have used that round to do a damage hit instead and 2. everyone else in the group will be doing more damage and therefore getting more exp and killing the mob faster...


right?


don't get me wrong, I'm about as selfless a player as I've ever met... I don't mind helping other folks... but it seems a bit dumb that our SL special eats up !650! mind pool and we get PENALIZED for doing it exp wise. Oh and it only lasts one round... lol

Hmmm...


That means after having Strategy III, the only usefull ability I have so far is /sysgroup?


I really feel like a gimp. I hope they add something special to this class...

from what I've read here on the board, the mobility bonus SLs get is a complete joke since pretty much EVERY combat player in the game has exploration mobility already and it's capped.

I know relativey few players with a high exploration, actually. And though I've never PvP'd, I find the higher mobility absolutely invaluable in PvNPC combat. I can nail a red con in the face and just walk away, no burst run, as long as I put some hills between him and me.

Hi,


I m Squad Leader for a few days now, but I have still a few questions.


First, what is Steady Aim excactly doing? It takes away like 650 of mind, but I dont see any benefit when I use it for me group. 650 mind is very much. Its like 2/3 of my current mind pool and when I use an ability, I m gonna be an easy kill for snipers.


I justgot meStrategy III which gives me Volley Shot. What does it do?


Next thing is, are all SL abilities active and drain mind points or are there any things that are passive which aid the group besides mobility, which is kinda useless in town pvp.


Where can I find more detailed informations about the SL class? The SL Guide from swgcenter.com is too generic for me. It doesnt really goes indepth and everyone who just looks at the skill tree could write it.


Greetings
