Hi dear IMC,
As an Alchemist, i’m aware that this is mostly an utility build that helps people by crafting potions and charms for battle, nevertheless, the DPS skills that Alchemist have, in specific, Combustion skill, is rather useless and just doesn’t feel part of the alchemist move, since Every time i have to use dig to make damage, the instant the skill produces the items to explode, the instant they are already in my inventory and the “combustion” skill loses effect (and i really hate using silver every time i need to make a skill).
With this in mind i came here to ask for your consideration in changing the Combustion skill in this combination more focused on what we do, Mixing stuff!:
- Skill name: Flask Throw [magic]
- Description: Throw one of your Alchemist flasks to your enemies, dealing damage.
- Damage: [scales with INT].
- AoE Ratio: 6 (or the same as guwushi’s poison pot throw.)
- Attributes: Enhance, increase area of effect.
*skill type: hold to target area of landing and releasing will throw the flask in the desired location
Complementary skill: Create Alchemist Flask
- Description: uses various chemicals and ingredients to make a substance to throw at your enemies .(alchemist Only).
- Additional Attributes: Create Frost Flask (frostbite effect), Create incendiary Flask (Burn effect), Create Flashlight Flask (blind effect), Create Poisonous Flask (Poison effect).
[EDIT]: About setting up the Flasks: You can use an interface to set the flasks you want to use when out of combat, kinda similar on how Wugushi’s set the card on the poison pot to add a different effect.
Explanation: i thought on this as we alchemist use flasks to make potions and stuff, and why not using it to throw some chemicals towards our enemies, the ability doesn’t look broken and you can adjust the values and types you consider, i stated the most famous types of flasks usually alchemists use on other games ( final Fantasy Tactics can be an example).
I think this can bring some life to one of the most nice and underestimated classes on the game, and to make it shine not only being profitable, but able to bring some dps and utility to the party!
Please read this, if you want to know more i’m more than glad to talk with ya.
And, fellow Alchemists! if you consider this could be a nice idea to add, bring the love and help me to reach a good amount of like so it can be taken into consideration!
Kind regards;
Galzath.
