Arsonist Class For LWOTC

Here to join your barracks, the other class that was alluded to in my Dark Events mod and the first Chemthrower-focused class made specially for Long War of the Chosen, the Arsonist! Check out the main class tree here[docs.google.com], which includes notes on the one new ability the Arsonist has. As the Arsonist is set up for LWOTC, they have a 4-tier XCOM row as well as the pistol row (which you may actually get good use of on this class) in addition to their three main ability rows. They equip a Chemthrower as their primary weapon, and a Canister as their secondary.

The Arsonist starts with the Chemthrower Suppression and Roving Chemist abilities at Squaddie rank, and has 3 specializations in their main ability tree. (They also stand out from most other LWOTC classes in that they gain an extra point of Mobility at Squaddie.)

• Scorched Earth is about spreading fire far and wide, through many AoE abilities and abilities that let you attack more often. This is the best row for handling the Lost or swarms of Chryssalids, as well as ambushing pods at the start of a mission.
  
  
• Slaughter is your big damage setup. More than just increasing the output of your Chemthrowers' upfront damage and damage over time, it's also the best specialization for supplementing your loadout with a pistol thanks to abilities like Center Mass and Heavy Hitter, making it the least likely specialization to get stonewalled by fire immunity.
  
  
• Intensity is a straightforward refinement tree that allows you to double down on the Arsonist's strengths. Emphasis here is on mobility and impairing enemies via panic, blind or disorienting.

• In addition to the requirements listed on the side, Long War of the Chosen is required.[www.nexusmods.com] You could repurpose the Arsonist for use with regular WOTC, but that would at the minimum require the LW2 Classes and Perks mod, plus a lot of restructuring of the classdata to swap out the LWOTC versions of skills with the LW2 Classes and Perks versions. This is entirely possible to do even without ModBuddy (just config edits), so don't ask me to do it for you.
  
  
• While not at all a hard requirement, I highly recommend Mod Jam if you're a LWOTC player. This will integrate Chemthrowers in a way that fits in better with LWOTC (such as making the Immolators and most Canisters single-build items and doing away with random reward deck upgrades from the Proving Grounds, opting to make each one buildable in Engineering individually instead).

• There should be no conflicts to speak of.

• Mitzruti for making the Immolator + Chemthrower Abilities mod, which inspired me to make this class.
  
  
• Iridar for making the Immolator Overhaul, which made a great mod even better.
  
  
• Ketaros for making the Ketaros 2D Package, which this mod uses some icons from.

If you don't see your name in the credits and think you should be there, let me know and I'll add you ASAP.
