Greeting all fellow Squad Leaders!


This is actually my first time posting here... But I've been a Master Squad Leader for quite some time. Im currently a Master Squad Leader and Teras Kasi Master but im thinking of doing either Master Commando og Master Bounty Hunter with Squad Leader. Now here's the question(s):


-Which is best suited with Squad Leader? Commando or Bounty Hunter?

-Is it worth it? or should I stick with my Teras Kasi?

-What do you thing is gonna be the best secondary profession with Squad Leader after the long waited revamp?


Im currently thinking of doing some hardcore PvP that's why I need some tips!


Thanks!

Unfortunately you can't be a MSL/Master Commando, not enough SP.

I personally don't see the point in being a MSL/MBH. Not only is it kinda a contradiction in terms, but having only BH for offensive capabilities I think would leave you a bit lacking.

if you want to do hardcore pvp just dont be a squad leader period. It is a total waste of points. After the revamp as a squad leader there will be more skills and many probably more useful in pvp but still you will be a support class and not a hardcore fighter.

I'm a SL/TKM and it works for me. I spend most of my time organizing the fight than actually fighting, but if my Squad needs me I'm powerful enough to get up to the front lines and do something about it.

Can't go wrong with Master Squad Leader, Master Rifleman! You get the best of both worlds.


With Master Rifleman, you're able to solo nearly 90% of the game, not to mention it's one of the best PvP professions you can have. With my remaining skillpoints I went 3/2/3/0 in Medic (zero skill points after that). Being able to use StimCs (MU30) with +50 injury treatment will heal quite a bit of your Health/Action pool when fully buffed, not to mention you'll be able to heal yourself once every five seconds or so ... quite a lifesaver in PvE.

What about Master Squad Leader/Master Pistoleer? I know that Pistoleer needs fixing.. but with the revamp of both squad leader and pistoleer couldn't it be worth a shot?

I'm a pistoleer right now. Unfortunately, as it stands pistoleer isn't worth much in PvP without the Bounty PIstol line or the Smuggler Dirty Fighting. I'm hoping this will change with the rebalance. Just warning you it isn't as potent as, say, rifleman that doesn't need another profession to support it. But I still enjoy running into a battle leading a squad with a DL44 in my hand, just feels more Star Warsy.

I love my template MBH/MSL it plain rocks. As far as master rifleman its good but they are getting a nerfed soon and will be slow. When hunting jedi with other BHs with the same mission it works great and with big raids or hunts its very usefull. Anyone who says squad leader is worthless in PvP is obsiously not a PvPer.

By running a macro u can keep your groups defense and accuracy and other mods always on.

OH I forgot, as a SL I stay close to my doc and kill whoever comes close to him at the same time I use support fire for my front line men. Your doc is key for the group staying alive and keeping states off, as a SL u are basically the brain of the operation so stay back and work your magic.

My thoughts exactly. I went MSL/MR and picked up 2240 medic. I can skip wearing leg armor and wear some +25 med pants, (since nobody goes for the legs) and heal for 2k damage every 3 seconds. Pretty good stuff in any situation

word of advice.


dont build a player based on what you hope to see, or what the game can become or whatever.


play it for what it is.
