Update: 4 May, 2021 @ 3:46am

This update features a complete overhaul of the Hoplite's skill tree, following the release of Long War of the Chosen Dev Build 26. Make sure you update your LWOTC if you use the Hoplite, and check out my Google Doc[docs.google.com] to familiarize yourself with the new skill tree. I'll go over some of the changes here, but you should look in the ClassData if you want the full picture.

- Hoplites no longer have Riot Control or Formidable at Squaddie. They instead have Shield Rush (dashing melee attack which deals damage and knocks the target back 2 tiles), and One For All.

- The biggest change is probably to the LCPL rank, with Aegis and Flashpoint. They should do a better job of competing with Bare Knuckle than the old ones did.

- Magnum (LWOTC) has replaced Return Fire in the pistol row at LCPL.

- All abilities which specifically change Shield Bash (from Ballistic Shields) or Shield Wall (ditto) are gone, with the exception of Protect And Serve and Aegis. The former has an OPTC function in ABB Perk Pack to add support for One For All, and the latter has a config in Hoplite's Config folder to add support for One For All. Localizations are also changed accordingly.

LWOTC's shields use Ablative HP protection rather than Dodge and Armor. They do not grant as much ablative as the originals, so you'll likely be using One For All a lot if you want to ensure reliable protection against attacks (although it can easily be overwhelmed by large groups, so be careful about using it as a crutch). Guard is still useful, but it's not going to be as reliable as it was before, unless you specifically build for Dodge. LWOTC's shields also do not have a melee attack baked in, hence the presence of Shield Rush in the Hoplite's Squaddie rank.
