Gairoh · Mar 02, 2007, 11:12 AM // 11:12

Hello Magna,i have always been an RO fan myself.I can see tht u are trying to fuse the idea of the Gunslinger in RO with the Alchemist but there's a few things i would like to point out.

First of all,there's no potions in guildwars...so "pharmacy" might be a little strange... unless they include potions in later chapters.

I like ur Magun thing...but since it's range,perhaps a lower attack? or have a longer firing rate?...might be more balance tht way...otherwise we'll end up just firing our guns in lots of scenarios.GW also doesnt involve reloading or restacking ammunition like other online games do.Biology might have some potential,something like a MM or Rit.It can perhaps be used to create creatures.

Maybe u would wanna change it a lil?

ps:no offence and not critising.

[M]agna_[C]arta · Mar 02, 2007, 11:23 AM // 11:23

I'am Done^^!

to Gairoh, Thanks I added the Attack Speed to 1.99 seconds for the reloading^^.
And in Pharmacy I was Directing to the Skills but this might work also if there are Potions in GW^^.

[M]agna_[C]arta · Mar 09, 2007, 02:12 PM // 14:12

Added pics for the homonculi.

System_Crush · Mar 09, 2007, 02:48 PM // 14:48

Eeeeeeeewwwwwwwww, magic guns!

That is so kids show level imagination, please don't (even remotely)make winx level suggestion, please!
Magic things should look magical, as technology derives its form from function, magic derives its form and material from their ability to store magical essence.

That means a magic item will not look like its technological counterpart, a magic gun will likely be a object to store/procure magical energy in whatever shape(can look like anything), mounted on a stick for easier usability(hence a wand!)

Lamentations · Mar 10, 2007, 03:31 AM // 03:31

I thought alchemists historically dealt with not only natural and spiritual things but metallurgy, perdominantly. Trying to change certain elements into others, like lead to gold. It seems strange to omit this, as some hexes that turn your opponents weapons into lead to make them attack slower or turn your allies armour to iron to give a boost seems like it could work well.

actionjack · Mar 10, 2007, 05:17 AM // 05:17

Its not bad, and well layout, with clear listing of ideas.

I don't like Reels. Magun seem interesting, but in the end sound like another wand. The picture provided is a bonus.

Tufty · Mar 10, 2007, 09:43 AM // 09:43

I came up with Alchemist theory ages ago.
Again the theory of guns came up but I think wands would still be better. However as part of there skill sets they could use explosives as it works on an alchemist chemistry back ground. Explosives thrown that can cause burning, poison, blindness to a small group of enemies. Maybe explosives dropped that can heal or prot the allies close by (this allows for battle prep before fools rush in)
The ides of changing weapons in the form of a hex is genius. As for the prot style turning armour to something else to aid allies (wouldnt be iron as its inherrently weaker than steel) Who knows anyway just a thought

[M]agna_[C]arta · Mar 10, 2007, 09:58 AM // 09:58

@Tufty
-I am doing a differ kind of Alchemist.
-As in like in Full Metal Alchemist.
Homonculus(Homonculi, Plural)
-As in like the Gambler, Ladyluck and Wakka in FF series.
Reel System
-Alchemist comes from the word Alchemy which has something to do with potions.
@System Crush
-I made Maguns cause if I write guns people would say "Hey, the story line wouldn't go that's not GW might aswell play a differ game!"
-Added the Gun Mage to see a real Magun but I really have a very nice looking Magun in my mind, check filir some of her skin is in my head^^.
@Action Jack
-Why do you think it is a Wand?
-What's wrong with reels?

System_Crush · Mar 10, 2007, 11:39 AM // 11:39

Still my hate for magic technology, is stronger than the story wise likelyness of mages preventing technology from advancing and developing guns.

I would rather you not put in either, but getting past the spinal shivers.

I like the creation of humonculy, its a twist that should have been in alchemist sugestions from the start, its quite fitting.
However where do you get the creation of plants? Alcemist harvest plants they do not create them, theyre not biologists or druids they deal with inanimate materials not plants and creatures(life wasn't a science, it was religion, that that alchemy wasn't a bunsh of mumbo jumbo but they acted as it if was sience), on the other hand like lamentation said you left out the creation part of it, though it was also a big part of alchemy.

You've god just about as much good stuff as bad suff so I should say its average, but because of my intence hate for magical technology(including the gun of a blue mage) I'm going to say I do not like the idea exept that all alchemist classes should have humunculy(as a new sort of pet the first pet that casts spells chosing when it is best to do so unlike rit spirits which are pretty much random)

By the way that blue mage is Paine right? I remeber her blue mage armour being diferent, is it some transformed version or does she change later in the game(never finished FFX2 it felt exactly the same as FFX and got boring quickly)

[M]agna_[C]arta · Mar 10, 2007, 12:01 PM // 12:01

They create by mixing DNAs by other life forms thats how they are able to make Homonculi and Plants. A Complete Hybrid, Chimera Mixing DNAs. They study both Chemicals, DNAs and Animals(Monsters). They Invade God's Territory, They Pursue Eternity of Composition and Decomposition.

I can't find a Novel Idea/Function for Metallurgy so I didn't include it^^.
But Thanks to Tufty, Is it a great idea for making Allies' Armor and Weapon more effective?

[M]agna_[C]arta · Mar 11, 2007, 08:45 AM // 08:45

Implemented Emblem
Those Icons/Avatars for a Proff.
Like the Derv the Emblem are Two Moons.
Like the Monk the Emblem is a Light Blue Ankh.

Darkhell153 · Mar 15, 2007, 03:55 PM // 15:55

Srry (this is not criticism or an insult, just an opinion) others may like some aspects of your class but guild wars cannot have potions which destroys two of your attributes and since your primary attribute is gone the rest of the proffession falls apart. Also this is middle ages technology we're talking about, no guns, nothing above a bow and arrow we're still in the 1500's for heaven's sake!!! Also alchemy wasn't about potion making at all in the first place. The first alchemists were attempting to change metals to gold and create the elixer of eternal life, apart from that alchemy was nothing else. And lastly, this class doesn't really add too much to the game, overall I still liked Tufty's ideas a whole lot better. And those ideas still needed a tiny bit of patching up to start with (pretty much every concept class does).

not trying to criticize or insult your ideas but I really don't think this class would work without destroying the whole time period of gw.

[M]agna_[C]arta · Mar 15, 2007, 11:34 PM // 23:34

Please don't spam^^.

Is it fine for a Proffesion to have 5 Attbs.?
cause I am thinking of adding Metallurgy(Study of Metal)^^.
The Metal to gold might sound nice but it might sound like Protection Prayers.
and the Elixir thing might sound like Healing Prayers.
So I need some of your help to explain how it goes^^.

System_Crush · Mar 16, 2007, 09:17 AM // 09:17

It is ok for a class to have more than 4 attributes as long as they are limitedly combinable.
For instance you can have 12 sword mastery and 12 axe mastery, might have some use but because you can't use a sword and axe at the same time their skills lock each other out.
Elementalists have 5 attributes that are somewhat more connected but those are all kind of for nuking so the skills themselves are not that different, mostly all of them just deal damage(in truth I do not think ele's are balanced correctly because of that, to their own disadvantage)

The biggest factor on keeping everything in check is attribute points, by limiting what you can do with 4 or less points in a attribute you can put a lid on untrained skills.
Or in other words, classes with 5 attributes have weaker skills, or at least weaker low end.

Master Ketsu · Mar 16, 2007, 02:56 PM // 14:56

One thing I always thought about for alchemists, but never bothered to think up a full class for them, was Solutions.

Basically Alchemists would have something called "Solutions" and something called "Alchemic spell". Solutions would work like preperations but not do anything until an Alchemic spell was cast.

Alchemic spells wouls work just like any other spell, but when you used one you would lose some of your solutions, and your solutions would resolve.

Here are some concept skills to get an idea:

Alchemic explosion:
Cost:5E
Time: 1 Sec
Recharge: 5 Sec
Alchemic spell. Lose 1 solution. Target foe takes 10...50 fire damage.

Flash Reaction:
Cost:10E
Time: 2 Sec
Recharge: 12
Alchemic spell. Lose All solutions. Target foes takes 2...25 fire damage for each solution lost using this spell.

Alchemic Confusion:
Cost:15E
Time: 1/2
Recharge: 10 Sec
Alchemic spell. Lose All solutions. Target foe's non attack skills are disabled for 1...5 seconds for each solution lost.

Poisonous solute
Cost: 5E
Time: 1 Sec
Recharge: 5 Sec
Solution. When Used by an alchemic spell, all foes adjacent to your target become poisoned for 1...12 seconds.

Dash of Hazel
Cost: 5E
Time: 1 Sec
Recharge: 20 Sec
Solution: when used by an alchemic spell that targets a foe, your target becomes dazed for 2...8 seconds.

Vial of life
Cost: 5E
Time: 1 Sec
Recharge: 10 Sec
Solution. When used by an alchemic spell, you gain 40.....120 life.

So basically the alchemist would be like a magic stack combo master, who sets up solutions and then "Transmutes them" Using an alchemic spell.

[M]agna_[C]arta · Mar 16, 2007, 11:38 PM // 23:38

Intresting I think i'll add that but do you have any Metallurgy skills^^?

actionjack · Mar 17, 2007, 12:45 AM // 00:45

I see them as a Preperation heavy class, that can stack up potions and use them as needed. Would be fun if they are able to mimic the potion spamming game play style of DII (but still fit in with the overall mechanic and theme of GW)
