Heatmaker Class Mod WOTC

Description
The Heatmaker is a sapper class that can hamper the enemy using damage over time, armor shredding, or improved flashbang effects. They can be built to effectively handle large groups of unarmored units, heavily armored single units, or mitigating larger groups with improved flashbang grenades.

Full class skill list here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TUrbicYeqyw1AS4HKzRxMCYxkqsn0AINNWE2hJX7oNw/edit#gid=0

Another class mod mostly for my personal use. Basically just a repackaging of perks from other mods into a single class.

Yet to be playtested, may be (read as: probably is) imbalanced.

Update 6/4/2024: Major rework.

Some skills were completely replaced, many were moved where they are in the skill tree. The goal of this rework is to make skills more competitive with other skills in the same tier. This change also seeks to address power scaling issues in the mid-late game, where previously the Heatmaker suffered during the gap between unlocking plasma weaponry and plasma vektor rifles.

Note this class is not intended to solo heavily armored targets, but it should reliably peel even the heaviest armor.

Update 7/23/24 Minor rework

Swapped Mad Bomber for Jingostic at Squaddie. Mad Bomber seems to be conflicting individually built items, adding items to xcom inv after missions.

KNOWN ISSUES

* This class has no GTS abilities. As mentioned above, this is mostly for my own use. I don't use the GTS so I can't be asked to add abilities there.
* The Heatmaker is intended to use a Vektor Rifle. IDK why they promote with an equipped assault rifle.

I may have an idea for a Class, if you're up for suggestions?

"Can i use" [WOTC LW2] Classes Perk Pack" instead of "[WOTC] LW2 Classes and Perks" mod?"

Probably . As long as the ability names are the same I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Can i use" [WOTC LW2] Classes Perk Pack" instead of "[WOTC] LW2 Classes and Perks" mod? As I don't want LW2 classes.

Got to say I kinda disappointed at first with another "just all pick and choose existing perks from perk pack and done" classes without custom perk. However, your class perk synergies seem well and cool on the paper.

At first I thought why not use grenade launcher as the class seems to screaming it. But as said earlier, after theorize on the paper, the synergy seems good and coherent. Anyway, got to agree with RustyDios that at first I thought this class going to use chemthrower though. But, well, at least the class name is quite cool nonetheless.

I tend to the um... Rusty Alchemist ... if I'm to be honest ;)

And obviously PCP users have MrCloista's Field Alchemist
AND I agree Kiruka's Arsonist is good for LWotC users too, and Knox's ?? Backport as well.

Just your class name got me interested :) I guess that was it's job though, draw in the moths...

Ah, sorry! I find flames hard to use so I don't play around with them much. The Arsonist mod by Kiruka is nice if you don't use that already. Updated description with skill notes.

I really thought the class name was going to be a Chemthrower or LW-Gauntlet user, focusing on fire/flame attacks. :( A little let down, but cool class concept still !!

Your description could do with adding what secondary weapon they can use.

Bless you.

To "fix" needing the Reapers before you can equip/build Vektors;
