Just a general question I wanted to ask since Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout is just around the corner now.
Unfortunately it seems like the “crafting” classes were never meant to be good in IMC’s eyes, just a dead character slot for acting as an NPC in towns.
most ppl hoping alchemist to be good cause they remember how good ragnarok alchemist was. while most of them also still havent realize that tos alchemist class category is yellow which means aimed not for dps stuffs,mostly for support and money making npc.
its basically hoping squire to be as good as assasin or bm, or pardoner to be as good as exo or druid
try compare it yourself to squire or pardoner.they are almost the same, crappy low dps or even none,mostly for support and money making.
you can also tell if you compare to another money maker npc class in green category like enchanter, or appraiser that while they can make money they are more packed with buff compare to yellow class but end up having no dps at all.
if you still want alch to be good then each time you visit this site spend your time sending ticket to imc to make a new class resemble creator or genetic that in the red category and sinergies well with alch. in hope they read it.
or even better go to kr nexon feedback event and spam your wish there.

As for current patch pardoner isn’t as bad as ppl think. Indulgence is one of the most powerful hot in game and also they can increase debuff time. That said, they are lacking tools. IMC should really consider moving all crafting skill into attributes, and give them real game play skills.
Sadly all Atelier games after the Atelier Iris series were just bad 
It’s alchemist btw.
And I blame IMC for not realizing the potential by disabling or reducing the recovery via potions in any content to give alchemist a reason to exist.
Without homunculus and without a good offensive skill (Combustion could be good if they make it multihit again, burning through 15 items to get 30000% SFR every 30 seconds would be a fair trade)
alchemist is pretty much a shop character, although it is promoted for GTW to repair&reinforce fences/ballistae/siege towers…
Magnum Opus is an abandoned gimmick that only serves to complete collections nowadays, although it has the potential of unlimited support to bring out new items every patch that could help the alchemist to be a useful class outside of a shop & potion merchant.
I kind of like how they have shop classes though. Gives me a good reason to level an alt. That being said though. I wish they are more self sufficient. Like they dont have to do the same damage as a dps focused class or do as much utility as a support based class but they instead should have synergies with them.
