Amalgamation: Desolator Specialization
This mod adds a brand new (and somewhat rare) primary Amalgamation specialization that lets characters use chemthrowers and canisters, with a focus on both stacking high amounts of elemental damage over time and resisting the elements.
For one reason or the other, chemthrowers were a pretty neglected weapon in the Amalgamation spec space for quite a while. This specific spec focuses on dealing stacking damage and was designed to provide a solid option for the alternate-type chemthrowers, though classic fire will work just fine as well.
(if classic fire is your thing, you may want to check out my Salamander specialization as well)
The Desolator is a master of the elements, possessing several abilities that increase damage over time or against targets already afflicted by status effects, as well as a slew of immunities. Using the power of the many different chemthrower and canister types, the Desolator lets you quite literally pick your poison for a given battle.
Note that for the full experience you’ll also want to grab Rusty’s Chemthrower Addons mod for the poison-based toxilator and acid-based corrolator.
You can play without Bitterfrost Protocol if so desired, but will want to swap out "MZBitterfrostBlood" with another ability in the spec’s XComAmalgamation file.
Balance should be roughly similar to the base Amalgamation specs. Don’t expect the chemthrower, as applied here, to win any straight-up brawls — it’s an area control weapon first and foremost, and the spec’s skills reflect this.
- h4ilst0rm and TePª for the original Amalgamation Classes mod.
- Ketaros, for the excellent sprite pack from which this spec grabs its icon.
- RustyDios for Chemthrower Addons, and for all the chemthrower-related help and ideas.
- Mitzruti for the perk packs, the immolator/chemthrower mod and Bitterfrost Protocol.
- All the other perk pack people. Wouldn’t be able to do this without them.
