Shinobi class can be dropped and it's perks rolled into the Reaper. Also the Vector rifles can work like the Marksman rifle of LW and have limited squad sight. Sword goes back to Assault and the Arc thrower becomes a utility item like the pistol with it's perks rolled into it via the proving ground ...

I can confirm they show up on troop columns missions, may have to be light + for them to show up as EL and VL normally have an 8 man rainbow pod and Hive Queen taking up the first slots.

Is it possible? They wouldn't get any of the perks so Techs would still be better with them but Sparks are still a bit on the weak side if you don't get them early enough to level up so I wanted to try out having ability to use all the heavy weapons. Also it would make Rainmaker a little better.

@johnnylump I personality feel that option two is what needs to be done, since the other 8 classes and Spark were put together so well that even if the PSI could learn all abilities they still will be considered lackluster. Soulfire - Needs a damage buff, 6-8 by endgame amp is far far too low. On a ...

Mind Merge needs a buff and cooldown reduction. The LW1 version was way better. "Merge minds with the target, granting the target +25% critical chance, bonus will, and temporary health (for aliens) or damage reduction (for humans)" I would like it if the critical chance returned (maybe a b...

What do you guys think of the 1.2 psi? I'm having a hard time finding motivation making a new campaign just to test this, as essentially 1.2 was hotfixes that don't change the way I play/enjoy the game. I started a new file to see if I can rush them early so I don't have one yet to try out but but ...

Stack dodge on your low defense tanks with a lot of armor. Stack defense on anyone that you don't want getting shot at, but be warned that if they have another ability besides shooting they will use it on you (poison, grab, grenade) so having a way to block status affect/reduce nade damage should be...

I confirm, I had a grenadier with a frost bomb infiltrating when I got the bugged second copy of the weapon POI, and indeed I got another frost bomb so now I have two total. Are you certain it's a bug, though? Perhaps a bug that you only get one of weapons not in your inventory, but tbh given the n...

Why Intimidate over Guardian? Wouldn't you want to use it with cool under pressure? Or does Intimidate proc enough for it to be worth it?

I also thought about this idea has well as either an alternative upgrade to Soul Healing or added with the base attack but with how powerful burning is now on a 4 turn cool down it would have to be a small chance or based on PSI offense.

The problem is the 8 classes from the perk pack got much stronger, the aliens and advent got tougher and PSIs got a little worst (number perks able to learn which I don't have a problem with, I think that's fair) but the investment is more then doubled for much less gain (time, training, and resourc...

I honestly wouldn't hate Mind Merge as much if it didn't end your turn.... I agree, In fact I don't think the below abilities should end your turn. (I can'r remember if Stasis does) Mind merge Stasis Insanity As for Insanity, the base version SUCKS. When I made my first 3 PSI troopers they had a 30...

That explains a lot, cause I always unlock it early and wait for plated armor before it..

Does it also spike with a visible Advent base?

The thing about mass reanimate is that would require mind controlling a gatekeeper(or avatar to learn mass insanity or a codex to learn Psi bomb) to learn it, like MC an ethereal in LW 1 to learn rift. I don't think additional research is needed, in fact I think that would just make the PSI trooper...

While mass reanimate could be op, I think they should at least be able to learn Pyrokinesis (very low damage with high chance to burn) and an ability to lower Will to make Insanity more reliable. If they are going to be debuffers, make them the 2nd best (2nd to Grenadier) one. I also think they need...

Did you stop doing Intel package missions after a certain point? You need to do one to generate it's point of interest. If not then you could have been really unlucky.

I like having it not hidden cause it allows me to build more unique characters. That 58 aim/13 mob Ranger that I was going to give up on ended up having Damn good ground and +2 damage perk as his tier 1/3 skills. If I didn't know it was there I would have stuck him in and heaven and never bothered b...

Sorry I don't know how to change the location and I didn't see it on nexus. It's best to ask the author yourself or ask /r/xcom2mods to see even someone knows how to change the position. I think the author talks about it in the comments a bit. I also don't want to be the one to download and upload s...

You mean something like this?

snip You're childish opinions add nothing to the discussion of balance and alternate solutions, which were encouraged. If you're only way of dealing with something that isn't perfect is to take your ball and go home, you should go back to just listening. This is the 2nd time you have called someone...

Is this a fix or was it intended to be this way?

snip. I don't see the problem with it being an option. I wouldn't actually get 4 shinobis and specialists, I'd just try to make sure my soldiers have adequate classes. It just bugs me to no end when someone gets a promotion without the GTC (rookies on missions, starting soldiers, etc) and you have ...

There is no need for commander's choice, just turn off not created equal if you are worried about having low aim snipers and slow assaults. In fact being able to pick 4 shinobis and specialists right out the gate would be broken early game. We already have the GTS to pick classes, AWC perks (which a...

When the update is applied will the changes to Sparks (level up growths mainly) take affect or will I have to start a new game/ build a new spark for it get the changes?

Thank you that's why I wanted to add it.
