Everyone knows that a group lead by a Squad Leader will be more efficient, but currently it seems as if most of the techniques that can be used are not as good as they should be. Take for instance the group ranged defenses. I am currently Expert in the tree that gives Rally, Retreat, and +30 Ranged Defense(at Expert) but it seems as if this ranged defense does nothing. My group is still taking the same amount of damage from ranged attacks as they would be without me, which is not how it should be. +30 to ranged defense should be quite noticable if you ask me, since added with everyone elses modifications a 250 damage attack should only be hitting for maybe 180.

Also, this profession needs to be alot less damaging to a persons mind. It is hard enough keeping my mind intact during a heavy battle with all the healing and attacking I do(and all the Riflemen and BH's attacking nothing but mind), but when you FAIL Rally and still lose a whopping 225 total mind half the time when I'm in battle I can't even use my techniques. I have to sit down and wait for about 30 seconds for my mind to regenerate just so I can fail another Rally. And I am at Expert in the tree that gives Rally, so my success rate should be rising, not lowering. This is what seems to be happening too, before I could use Rally almost all the time, but recently I have a success rate of less then 10% with Rally(1/10 tries). Please fix this developers. I really dont understand why it damages the mind to use Rally anyway. Especially to the point of splitting my mind in half each time I use it.

I am currently working on the skill tree that goes up to Volley Fire and will have more to talk about when I reach this point. I really hope Volley Fire does not fail and does not damage my mind so bad that I become a useless stone in battle.

Stop Now. Apply your points somewhere else! Its so hard to surrender once you master. Do yourself a favor and stop the insanity. If you MUST have SL then take the Mobility line only.

I'm a dishonest man, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, honestly. Because you can't tell when they're going to do something incredibly...stupid.

While the success rate may seem like 10% for rally cause it hurts so bad when you fail, it seems to be more around 60%. It is possible to land 9 out of 10 fails, but you can also get 9 out of 10 successes. I did a decent sized rally test the day of the "big" patch, you can see the results here: http://www.clan519.com/swg/rally.htm

I'm staying out of the "we should get this skill, ability, revamp, etc." threads because who knows if it will help. Maybe a dev will stop by and read em, but I'm just going to wait for the response before I cheer or whine.
