Alchemist?

[ThomasHunter]

Seems like we should be seeing Alchemist news soon. Has anyone heard anything recently?

Happy gaming,

the only news I've seen is that it will be the next class and coming out in U44, so probably not for another few months

ps they throw bottles

[droid327]

They did publish some concept art for the class...

This is pretty accurate.

We haven't heard anything since that short interview with Draculetta. A basic rundown of what we currently know:

- Support caster with 3 trees: some sort of bombardier (throwing alchemical grenades or explosion-based spells?), a poison-based tree (probably a dps-oriented tree with darts as specialization), and a buff/support tree (healing, buff potions, etc is what I'm guessing). As long as we get a tree named apothecary, I'm happy.

- Over 90 new spells unique to alchemists with a complicated mixture/reaction system for casting them.

- Not your standard potion-chucker like artificer: there will be rolling potions on the ground, splashing them in front of you, etc.

- They can mix their own, specialized potions to hand out to party members.

- They'll feature poison damage more so than other classes. They'll also feature the use of darts as weapons.

This is all still pretty accurate. Also, you're going to be happy.

Thiiiiis one's more of a stretch goal in some regards, less than 100% of their spells involve throwing & even if we don't get things like rolling, we hope to make some adjustments to admixture throwing speed, arc, etc.

I asked if they could have a pet dog named Alexander, but that was a no.

[rabidfox]

I asked if they could have a pet dog named Alexander, but that was a no.

So you're the one who parked the character name 'Nina' on all the servers...

[Alrik_Fassbauer]

Reminds me of the game "King's Bounty : Armored Princess" ... It had some kind of flask-throwing Alchemist, too ... Together with a "blubb" sound ...

I asked if they could have a pet dog named Alexander, but that was a no.

Why not Anaximander, then ? Sounds at least similar ...

[Fnordian]

I asked if they could have a pet dog named Alexander, but that was a no.

They should have a Homunculus named Opqaizqakkel.

A definite tease by the devs....but I’ll wait to be happy! Looking forward to seeing information however!

Gooood add another semicaster calss (Artificer 2.0) when melee are dying...

OP! (sarcasm)

[SoVeryBelgian]

I was sold on the Dart usage, but the Potion Thrower style really attracted me to Renegade Mastermaker, and honestly I was probably the only Rogue still using Alchemical Fire on mobs for years.



*Imagines making Tornado pots to throw* Heh heh.. hehehehehehe!

What, you aren't excited for the inevitable AOE CC and kills that work on things nothing else does and has easily reached DC's?

[Arkat]

...I didn't waste my time on ultimate completionist, triple completionist, or even plain old completionist.

I have absolutely ZERO interest in playing such a moronic class like Alchemist.

Throwing potions (bomb-like), throwing darts (as DPS no less!), and making buffing potions?

NFW!

I feel like Alchemist is a waste of Dev development time and Player playing time.

[Fivetigers33]

Is there any sort of tentative release date for this? 1 month, 2 months, 3 months? Something a little more precise than "later this year"?


I want to do an iconic build that needs a +1 heart, but I want to play Alchemist right when it comes out. I will not be a happy camper if Alchemist is released a week after I burned a +1 heart. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like a little heads up on the release date.

And that's why it will have to be OP.

You'll see it on Lamannia before it releases. Other than that (and that it's still planned for "later this year"), we don't have an announced release window.

What is the exact dates on sharns, tieflings and alchemists just waiting to play again

[HastyPudding]

Yay!!

What is the exact dates on sharns, tieflings and alchemists just waiting to play again

Eh? Sharn and tiefling have been out for several months, mate. Alchemist is slotted for sometime later this year.
