Normally I'm real leary of new class ideas but this one I really like. What about changing nature attunement though to Quicksilver Attunement with speed and energy exhaustion / poison related spells.

Oh and you can't have an Alchemist class without an Elixir of Life elite which protects from or reduces all degens for a period of time...

Anyway nice idea.

Crowskie · Aug 15, 2005, 09:16 PM // 21:16

I had an Idea for an Alchemist, it was a little diffrent though... Maybe I'll write it up later?...

I think a better name for your guy would be a Metallurgist, since he doesn't seem to mess with Chemicals.

BokaSlayer · Aug 15, 2005, 09:23 PM // 21:23

Very nice idea

he is something like a buffer-debuffer
btw I love this global enchantments

Elena · Aug 15, 2005, 09:43 PM // 21:43

i see this spell in pvp groups for some reason :P

thats spiffy nifty, i kinda like this idea.

emil knight · Aug 15, 2005, 10:17 PM // 22:17

<crickets>

Wow... for once I'm speechless. Finally a well thought out new class. Good job Meep Meep. Lets see a few more skills if you've got 'em.

FiveDisgruntledMonkeys · Aug 16, 2005, 12:54 AM // 00:54

See, this is the sort of class I'd like to see. An Alchemist is a well-known fantasy archetype, just like the Warrior, the Ranger, the Monk, the Necromancer. We don't need obscure "Soul Slayers" or "Shadow Samurai". We need other classes like this. Ones people can relate to, ones that, upon seeing them on game box in the mall, the new players will say "Oh, an Alchemsit, I want to be that!" or "Alright, an Assassin! That's my favorite!" instead of "What the heck is a Dragonbait?"
Kudos on a well-thought-out class idea. My only complaint... how can you have an Alchemist class without mention of a Philosopher's Stone, Philosopher's Egg, turning lead to gold, Panacea, or an elixir of longevity? Hmm... Elite ideas, perhaps?

Yellow_lid · Aug 16, 2005, 12:59 AM // 00:59

Yeah perhaps you should be able to turn platinum into gold !!! lol... Or maybe bestow enchantment upon a weapon. Just a thought

MCS · Aug 16, 2005, 01:58 AM // 01:58

I like it.

EDIT: By the way this is EXTREMELY high praise coming from me because I come to this forum purely for laughs.

sino-soviet · Aug 16, 2005, 02:08 AM // 02:08

Honest to g-d, this is a unique suggestion. I had a lot of trouble thinking of a generic archetype that Arenanet has not used yet. Assassin/rogue is overdone and I don't think would mesh well. Alchemist is very nice, fits well into Guild wars, and is unique to boot. You should send this in to Anet ASAP. I'm not so sure about the attributes though, I would like to see more along the lines of mixing and concotion.

I honestly would If I thought it wouldn't just go ignored, but it would be so there's really not a lot of use. Anyone here's really welcome to submit it to Arenanet, I'll probably add some more skills later.

And yeah I can understand what most of you are saying about the ideas people come up with for character classes. Most people are like... I want a Turbo Ninja Vampire that can steal 500 life and teleport anywhere, the primary attribute will add +100 armor each point you put in to it, it can also turn invisible five seconds before you attack it. Honestly come on.

shadowfare · Aug 16, 2005, 02:24 AM // 02:24

I do like this, it would go well with warrior secondary, or as a secondary for warrior, but some skills seem slightly overpowered.

Quote:

Iron Vengeance - Global Enchantment, This spell has the range of a spirit ward, For 15-50 seconds every time any player on the field attacks they lose 10 health.

and

Quote:

I can see being spammed to no end, the recharge/cost of the skills arn't high enough to balance out their strength.

Actually, it's even because it effects every player on the field, it's just like the opposite of predatory season. Balance wise it's a lot like disease except the monks only have to heal those who are attacking instead of everyone in your party.

Have you ever seen apply poison? It's nearly exactly like this only stronger.

ManadartheHealer · Aug 16, 2005, 04:00 AM // 04:00

I like the idea. It's original, and definitely more likely to be added than "OMG Assassin-Ninja!!!"

Edit: Would this class be melee or ranged?
