This set seemed very intriguing to me at first look after getting the legendary alchemical pendant, 50 fire/poison/acid spellpower, and 10% crit as well to fire/poison/acid spells and the ability to add con, insightful con, or quality con.

SO I then took a look at the legendary alchemists crown, also a fairly good item, now one would assume since it's named ALCHEMISTS crown you would be able to add intelligence, insightful intelligence, or quality intelligence to it...but no, it's wisdom. The only part of this that makes sense is that the original heroic alchemists crown had wisdom on it.

Here's the parts that DO NOT make sense: the set bonus is called astute ALCHEMIST, alchemist, the class with INTELLIGENCE as a main stat, but you can't get any intelligence from this set. Wisdom is used for the following casters, favored soul/cleric/druid, AS FAR AS I KNOW NONE of these classes have ANY poison damage dealing spells. Of those 3 classes only the druid class has any sort of acid spells, which is well, stupid.

In my opinion and everyone else's I have talked to this set should be changed in some way, either make it so you can put intelligence on the crown, or make the set fire/light/positive. The acid makes 33% sense since one of the 3 wisdom casters uses it, and the poison makes zero sense

@devs what were you thinking with this set?
