Squad Leader Archive

Hey all, long time reader, but only have posted a few times. Anyway, no disrespect to the SL group, but as a whole I think the 'upgrades' and things suggested for the combat balance or profession revamp are missing the point. I've read alot about how SL's should have forts, turrets, air strikes, etc. It seems to me that what a SL brings to a group should becombat discipline and leadership as well as theenhancement of OTHER classes' abilities. For example:

SL's should:

When grouped with a SL:

All combatants get significant defense bonuses, melee and ranged (you can rely on your squad to 'get your back')

Combat classes should receive bonuses based on their professions strengths and opportunities such as (note I'm a part time player so these may need a lot of work, but just trying to make the point)

Rifleman-accuracy bonus when using specials or lower ham costs

Carbineer-increased effectiveness in all 'state' change specials (more likely to KD, dizzy, stun, etc. longer state)

Pistoleer-increased damage or armor piercing

Ranger-able to deploy fort like camp

Commando-able to deploy and use turret

Creature Handler-Additional pet levels controllable

Anyway you get the picture

So, your suggestions are based on the, for the lack of a better word, intimate relationship between a Squad Leader and the team? I always thought that SL was a social combat class. Way to keep it real friend.
