Thread: SL limited dabbling question..
SL is really a Profession that is hard to dabble in. There are not enough abilities right now to make it to worth it, but luckily some of the best ones are the low level ones. But if you want the passives you really need to go full bore up the tree.
Really it depends what your primary Profession is, but having Medic and First Aid will never be a bad thing if your more combat heavy. Really depends on you, but I think you will find it is easier to dabble in Medic than it is to dabble in SL. I really feel that SL has a tendancy of turning into the primary Profession and you start thinking what is best to dabble with SL.
Oh btw, I have another question.. what is the range of the effect of the SL abilities. Like if I hit /retreat - is a squad member 100m away from me going to get the burstrun? 50m? 20? Is the range the same for /rally?
Cheers!
With 0003 in Squad Leader, the /retreat command lasts for 20 seconds for my team. If I rig up a macro that repeats the /retreat command faster than once per second the affect is permanent, however I need to have more than 1500 in Str, Qui and Foc (with my armour on) and I spam spatial with shouting. I really doubt that it stacks, unless your macro fires off every 20 seconds.
When running from combat, 20 seconds lasts quit a bit. Problem with it is that you have to not be touched, which is tough if your a combat class who gets in the mix of it.
