Amalgamation: Phoenix Secondary Specialization

This mod adds a brand new (and very rare!) secondary Amalgamation specialization that lets characters use chemthrowers and canisters, adept at healing allies and controlling enemy flow.

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 the healing and debuffing aspects of the chemthrower. It is meant to be used alongside my Salamander and Desolator specs, though it also supports a few others.

The Phoenix's first role is that of an area medic, healing entire teams with Medispray and removing debuffs with Fumigate. Its secondary role is that of area denial -- the Phoenix is well-equipped to control choke points, with (blinding) Suppression locking down single targets and Pressure Blast shoving groups away and out of cover.

When combined with a chemthrower primary specialization, Fine Control helps line up shots that would normally be too hazardous for nearby allies, and On The Move lets the Phoenix relocate to more advantageous locations to fire from.

Note that for the full experience you'll also want to grab Rusty's Chemthrower Addon Redux mod. This gives you several new elemental chemthrowers to play with, and unlocks a dedicated canister slot to free up another secondary weapon option. (if available)

It's a pretty solid force multiplier for any chemthrower-using primaries, increasing their flexibility by quite a bit. However, the chance of actually rolling it is really low, hovering around 1% odds as tested. Good luck!

• h4ilst0rm and TePª for the original Amalgamation Classes mod.
  
• Ketaros, for the excellent sprite pack from which this spec grabs its icon.
  
• RustyDios for the Chemthrower Addon Redux, and all the thrower-related help and ideas.
  
• Mitzruti for bringing fire to the masses with the excellent immolator/chemthrower mod.
  
• All the perk pack people. Wouldn't be able to do this without them.
