Description
Another Amalgamation Spec presented to you by #NotAModder Stukov-T.TV

This Mod brings the Jack of all Trades concept class as Amalgamation Primary Spec.

Jack of All
A Jack of all Trades starts out allowed wielding a rifle but he can over time also learn to use: Sniper Rifle, Vektor Rifle, Psionic Reaper, Shotgun, Cannon, SMG. He also will have Perks that give you different abilities depending on what weapon you have equipped. He does trade raw stats for a bigger flexibility in your team. If you use Dedicated Pistol Slot he can also learn over time to get more items (mainly trinkets) available to put in the sidearm slot.

Dependencies
Required Mods are Required - Dedicated Pistol Slot is optional.

Special Thanks
TePª and H4ilst0rm for the awesome Amalgamation Classes Mod
ShireMCT for both Proficiency Classes as a whole and the ability to easily assign allowed weapons to a perk.
Veehementia for the Dedicated Pistol Slot
Iridar for the Bounty Hunter, which one Perk is used as of now.
Kiruka for the important Perks which depend on equipped primary weapon
All the other great modders providing me with Perks
All the people in the MEME Discord, especially RustyDios and MisterCloista.

(in this specific case, it's controlled by the AllowAWC setting in the main Amalgamation config)

@ArcticJack - The reason for the fourth row is what's called an AWC deck, or ''The XCom Row''. This is a list of random abilities that soldiers can gain from other classes/a general pool, that may be useful to them/your playstyle.

A fourth rows inclusion is usually set within the XcomClassData.ini, though it can be modified by various mods editing this file, that could include disabling classes, changing skill decks, and much more. It's mostly down to author choice and mod combination which units do/don't have access to an AWC deck.

So I noticed that some of the amalgamation specs have previews including a fourth row of abilities, and some only have three. I was wondering if I'm doing something wrong, or if there is a specific mod or config edit enabling this? Cheers.

The idea here is you have a soldier that can slot in different tasks ... your shotgunner is out? Get a Jack of all Trades with a shotgun. You don't have overwatch specialists? Hey Jack can fill that role with Sentinel. Lacking some shred? SMG with built in shred is your saving grace.

So he is very flexible, but not as strong as a dedicated user of any of those weapons. All in all at least for me a fun gameplay though they tend to die early in my games :)

Late Game these guys seem pretty good as snipers, compensation + rush shot with icarus armor is really strong.

The shred is amazing in Amalgamation, I'm always looking for more shred (my mods make grenades pretty awful) and eventually their crit gets pretty high.

Shotgun is also okay, but I feel they're much more careful because you don't have the defensive perks to protect them like an assault might have. My guy is a support so he's got a mix of grenades and the Heavy weapon from Jingoistic so it's a mix of playing safe and sometimes getting in with a shotgun when it's safer or other member's cooldowns permit.

I don't see any reason to try Rifle or SMG, the Rogue ability Blindside (?) that gives scaling flanking damage to Vektor Rifle and Bullpups is probably worth later on with the scaling crit too, but you'll just be shooting with no abilities whatsover.

Maim is broken for my guy, but I have a mod that reclassifies weapons and groupings and I think that may have broken it?

I will try and put it back in and see what happens

Works on my machine without issues in a 800 mod environment

Hi Stukov, love your Amalgamation Professions so far as they are helping in my gameplay currently. I do have something to report with this Spec though. When i put it in my load order i get a sudden spike of what i can gather to be a memory leak (18000mb on the Task Manager, if i remember rightly) from the beginning of the game and crash to desktop before getting into the first mission. Not sure what is causing it but i deactivated it and the game loaded okay. Just thought i would let you know.
