Active Skills:

- Blunderbuss Wand: It's a known fact that alchemists invented gunpowder. It makes sense that an alchemist has a short ranged cone attack. It's like a magical shotgun.

- Stinky Concoction: A skill heavily inspired in Team Fortress 2 Sniper's Jarate. Just like it's TF2 counterpart, enemies soaked in Stinky Concontion will get extra damage and higher crit chance.

- Elixir of Nimbleness: Another skil based in TF2, this time in Scout's Bonk!. The alchemist will drop 4 potions for him and his friends that will increase movement, attack speed and evade chance.

- Alchemist's Fire: A classic skill in any Alchemist's arsenal. Alchemist's Fire will grant Burning Damage to all nearby allies for a while. If Alchemist's Fire is destroyed, it will unleash a nova of fire projectiles.

Passive Skills:

- Healing Poultice: It's also a known fact that alchemists invented Health Potions. When health is below 50%, the alchemist will trigger a healing blast around him. It's pretty similar to Paladin's Lay of hands skill.

- Tanglefoot Bag: Another classic item for an alchemist. If alchemist gets hurt, he will drop a bag of alchemical goo that slows down enemies.

- Mutation: Enemies killed by the alchemist have a chance to morph into a poisonous slime to fight on your side for a short time.

How to play Alchemist:

1. Go to Profiles in Main Menu and enable mods.
2. Make a new character.
3. In Town, talk to Kelly the Modder NPC, it's near the mines.
4. Click on Alchemist, your character should be turned into an Alchemist.

I was wrong, the mod is just incompatible with the arcanist. On a completely different note. the Healing Poultice seems to not work as intended. It seems to trigger at way too low health. like 5% or something rather than 50%

Does not work in multiplayer. We're getting mod missmatch. All other mods we've tried worked so far except this,

I read buffing as bullying
Atama-kun 15 Mar, 2020 @ 7:42am 
Yep. Attack sometimes miss and some skills (didnt try before Moontemple) work with errors. So now its too bugy class. Sad =(

Just tried him once and it feels like sometimes his attacks dont deal damage even though the attacks overlap with the enemies, is that normal?
fenix 17 Oct, 2019 @ 5:39pm 
is it only for me that the sound of primary attack is very loud when triggered multiple times?
Warlok 2 Jul, 2019 @ 1:49am 
I haven't tried him yet, but why not give him multiple blunderbusses, and say that each has to be reloaded individually, over considerable time, one at a time? Make it different in that gunshot armour pierces out to a long range instead of the more common limited range attacks of most characters.

Having a number of shots available but needing to do nothing except reload guns could work.

I'd make the Tanglefoot Bag goo last a considerable time.

Stinky Concoction I would keep lesser in effect, but that is dependent upon a low Mana cost, short cooldown, and good throw range (?).

Just some thoughts.

His primary attack could definitely be better. Turning it into a spray of poison darts, with a built-in poison proc, would help with the damage and be a little more thematically consistent with the whole alchemist thing.

Stinky Concoction could also use a butt. Look at the gladiator and the witch hunter: they both get a debuff that increase the damage taken by enemies, and they're both way higher than 30%.

@Hal9000

I think overall the concept is really good. the biggest thing I can see making him feel weak is his auto attack maybe a slight range increase would be a good start personally I would like to be a bigger cone/ projectile count as it is ranked up maybe

Another suggestion is to make his R-Click have full range but hit first target to make it a bit faster.


these are just a few of my thoughts not trying to push any major changes.
keep up the great work i love all your mods:1up:

@Gravitryx Thanks for your feedback, Alchemist's Fire should work fine now.

I'm concerned about the current weakness of the alchemist right now. The class is intented as a support class just like the priest so i'm trying to not make it too powerful.

Alchemist has a bit of everything, he can buff allies, debuff enemies, has minor healing skils and even can summon a friendly minion. I'm open to suggestions, of course, so if you have any idea for him, feel free to share.
