Balance and Ideology

At first I wanted to make a concealment based spec but with Sawed Off. When I helped Drumax with his Desperado spec I felt I needed to do something with that cursed knowledge. Well, it was more cursed: I needed either a lot of mods or an even more cursed skill tree. Instead, I opted for the Vektor Rifle and, to make what I wanted for a long time, more than one thing even: A good damage Vektor spec that benefits from the weapon's high crit dmg(The spec has hidden flanking crit and aim bonuses to help that more), and a Concealment spec that isn't just a scout, instead, use concealment to reposition into a safe, yet aggressive position from which to strike next. Weaving in and out of concealment is fun as heck and I had a blast while playing with it.

This spec is a bit on the slow side, both on its growth and playstyle. Needing 3 levels before you can use the mana it starts with, albeit the vanishing takedown is powerful, can feel a bit clunky, but it gets really good real fast. In mission you might want to play slow to gain its mana, and with the fact it doesn't have Phantom, makes quite a balancing act. All in all, i'm satisfied with it. It's a bit on the strong side of specs, having very high damage potential, but most of it comes from Quick Feet or its eventual Runeshot combos. It's weird at the start, but becomes quite fluid the more you get into it, both in experience and playstyle.


Outro and Thanks

Wow, this one was intense. Am playing in and out with it for the past couple weeks, and am very happy with it.

Always thankful to XpanD for getting me into Spec creation and getting started on my first mod

...I also made it so it gets weaker the more you bring on mission, with all of them competing from kills, losing ocncelament once the first bang happens, and lower damage unless you can get reliable concealment on all of them.
About the passives? I do can see myself reducing Hunter's Instincts damage and removing Hit and Slither for something more tame.

Veil Walker is not really a stealth class per say, the concelament is there more to regen mana and keep the Walker safe than to scout, it doesn't have ways to keep concealment after squad reveal, unless you kill with its shot. Can't start on concelament on missions that doesn't give you, liek some retaliations.
It's concealment also needs to be constantly refreshed by killing an enemy,which lasts 2 turns, one of which you need to spend killing someone, vastly limiting its scouting potential, unless you ahve Thaumic Conceal at Colonel? Which I can see myself removing it.
This spec is made to deal large amounts of damage by taking last hits, and spending on one big shot.
It also doesn't have the very small detection radious from reapers, making that 1 and a half turn of scouting riskier than the hero class...

This mod has no balance in mind. I mean, stealth almost guaranteed constantly. I just wonder what you were thinking when you made it. It makes Reaper seem useless in comparison. It literally does everything they can, better by 50% or more. The passives are some of the strongest in the game. Did you mean to make them this strong?

se puede usar con LW?

This is awesome! Thank you. I have been playing around with stealth builds like brigand, assassin and scout to make hit n run squads. It has been my favorite style yet. This is definitely going in my list.

OHHH it all makes sense now! Yeah I'll definitely be adding this, my favorite playstyle gets a primary spec? Yes please!
