Buccaneer Class For LWOTC
So, Decemberween is coming again. Guess you all need your present, right? Well, here it is, the Buccaneer class! Check out the main class tree here[docs.google.com]. As the Buccaneer 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 Sword as their primary weapon, and a Sawed-Off Shotgun as their secondary.
The Buccaneer starts with the Scourge Cutter, Point Blank and Scrap Metal 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 2 extra points of Mobility at Squaddie.)
- Swordplay gives the Buccaneer more options to attack and kill with their Sword, including both proactive and reactive attacks that can hit harder than Scourge Cutter does, allowing them to feed their Sawed-Off Shotgun ammo count even more easily.
- Blunderbuss is a burst DPS tree that has a mix of abilities that benefit the Sawed-Off Shotgun specifically, and ones that benefit all of the Buccaneer’s weapons, including pistols should they take one.
- Rock The Boat is the Buccaneer’s bag of tricks, letting them cheat the system in many ways. There are a handful of abilities here that let the Buccaneer ignore what would normally be hard counters to them, such as Overwatch, mental ailments and even bad positioning.
- Yes, Long War of the Chosen is required. You could repurpose the Buccaneer 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.
- The other mods in the required list are for abilities.
- While not at all a hard requirement, I highly recommend Mod Jam if you’re a LWOTC player.
- There should be no conflicts to speak of.
- Mitzruti for making the Mitzruti Perk Pack, which just keeps getting bigger and bigger and giving me new ideas for my classes.
- Tzarnal – MoonWolf for making the Surplus Class Icons Pack, which this mod uses an icon 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.
