Squad Leader Archive
Thread: To ALL OF SWG, Including Devs... Squad leaders are...
A working Squad Leader would be Good for the Community as a WHOLE.... Squad Leaders are useless at the moment, and we paid 100 Skill points to be useless * well leastwise I did... currently a master*
Our Current plate we have to offer you is minimal deffense bonuses, non-exsistant volley fire, rally which prevents you from harvesting and supposedly makes you accurate, A wound spreading technique which annoys the doctors among you.... And many many more....
Steady aim is good for one shot, just like Normal Aim.... Only its in group format.
Well, if we had the following, you as a community would be better off...
Higher Deffense Bonuses.... And New ones.... Give squad leaders Group Deffense against Knockdown, Blind, Dizzy, Etc.... We want to be able to protect YOU! Make these deffenses stackable with you're current deffenses.
Group General Aiming Bonuses.... We went through Ranged Support, we should be able to give it to you as well... Stackable with your current Aiming abilities.
Group dammage mitigation, give Squad Leaders GROUP Dammage Mitigation 2 in both Melee and Ranged, so we can help YOU!
Group dammage modifiers... Let our groups deal out 2x more dammage then a Non Squad Leader group... Spread out our dammage modifiers, one at Novice, one at Master....
Give Squad Leaders GROUP Specials....
That when you group with us, you have NEW Specials you can use... Things Like /dig in, Increases your deffense, lowers your stance, and increases the dammage you do by Half... Dig in will wear off on next movement.
Or /covering fire, You select a friendly target, /covering fire on him, you attack all his targets and draw his AGRO to yourself, giving your friendly target time to recover....
Specials like these would be available to ANYONE in our group to use.
Also, last but not least, our mainstay Class Defining special.... Volley Fire. Make it an Concentrated HAM Attack, the power of Overcharge Shot 2 from everyone in the group on ONE Target.... Heck, we'll accept an Overcharge shot 1 from everyone in the group, so long as its on ONE HAM Bar....
It sounds overpowered, but it can only be done in a group... A non-SL group will be signifigantly DIFFERENT then an SL led one.... For now we have been making up for our lack of specials with good leadership abilities..... Things we cultivated on our own...
Give us the Tools to help YOU!!!
Please, look at our forums, there are AMAZING ideas floating around in there.... We need Development attention
Here here!
The list of things squad leaders already get looks pretty cool. Would be a good start if the things they're supposed to have actually worked. Specials that can only be used in an SL group would be very cool (just make sure that /digin doesn't lower the posture of melee members of the group :>
. Providing damage mitigation would also rock - anything to keep the doctor alive a little longer.
As it is, though, last time I was ina group with a squad leader, the Combat Medic kept asking him not to rally because it was interfering with her ability to craft poison antidotes...and he listened because, well, poison antidotes are useful...bah...

Squad Leader needs huge bonuses.
I was talking with my buddy at work today, and we were trying to list all of the professions off the top of our heads. We thought we got them all.
I just realized, we forgot Squad Leader. But really, can you blame us? When was the last time you say someone wearing one of THOSE titles?
Guys... read the other posts... this is all we talk about, lets talk about something new... like rabbits.... mmm rabbits.
Seriously though, they know we suck, they are going to fix it.
