Proficiency Class Plugin: Combat Engineer 2.0 Redux

This is my rebalanced version of my old Proficiency: Combat Engineer.
The major change is moving from tieing the flamer to the proficiency perk, to tieing the various defensive perks that the class introduced to it. The class also no longer uses shotguns.

The Combat Engineer is a battlefield control and support class who uses Cannons as their primary, and the LW2 Gauntlet as their Secondary. They have their own Proficiency Perk : Protective Equipment, and GTS perks in the style of the other main Proficiency Classes. It follows a similar stat progression to a Sapper.

• Rank 1 – Grants Blast Padding – Your gear includes layers of extra padding and blast plates, granting a bonus point of Armor and 66% less damage from explosive attacks.
• ———-Grants Burnout – Activating your Flamethrower leaves a small smoke cloud around your position, providing a defensive bonus.
• Rank 2 – Grants Minor Kinetic Plating – Adds 2 Ablative (Shield). Missed shots against this unit increases shielding by 2.
• Rank 3 – Grants Cloistered Shielding – Projects shields around the soldier and nearby allies. The shields will collapse if this soldier is killed. This is a FREE ACTION that requires the soldier to have 2AP (so must be first action) and has 2 charges and a 5 turn cooldown.
• Grants +2 Ablative Shield HP.

• Flamer – Focuses on the Gauntlet’s Flamethrower.
• Cannon – Focuses on Battlefield control/debuffs with the Cannon.
• Explosives – Focuses on the Gauntlet’s rockets and other explosives.
