* NotTheIntendedUse: Their middle set of perks have a nice mix of defensive and rifle skills. Technicals who invest in those can make surprisingly decent Scout-Tank hybrids or Officers. While this does limit the effectiveness of their gauntlet abilities it also makes them more useful in longer missions where the limited number of rocket/flamethrower charges works against them.

* CripplingOverspecialization: Technicals' abilities are mostly built to enhance their rocket and flamethrower, which makes them most adept at dealing with the very large crowds of enemy troops that you'll encounter in low-Infiltration missions. However, said heavy weapons have limited uses, so getting the relevant abilities means they can't do much more than rookies once they're out of charges. Still, they are very useful for cover-busting and stripping off the armor of large, powerful enemies.
