Proposal
Remove the restriction of Squad Leaders having to be group leader in order to use their abilities.
Justification
Motivation
  • Players who go SL are expected to give up half their template while solo, but yet they are not even guaranteed to get to use their abilities in a group, if that group happens to already have an SL.
  • No other profession in this game has this kind of anti-synergy with itself.

If there are 2+ SLs in a group - who's buffs take precedent?

From the link I posted:
Right - but you're not asking for that from what I can tell. It makes sense if the entire mechanic is added. Just the leadership requirement change doesn't really make sense with multiple SLs in a group as is.

Just for the record the publish 24 didnt even last an entire month right before the publish 25 which was the NGE update. Not a good precedent lol

Thanks for your suggestion!

As we have said before, the sacrifice of investing in the Squad Leader template is that you might be useless. Good thing you have 2 other characters to play instead if that’s the case with your current group composition. Trade offs for everything.

And indeed, the Squad Leader needs to be the leader. No intention of changing that.
