The whole point in that was because everyone was complaining seasons was too short
Climbing now is still just as fast, but if ppl are clicking bad or slacking it is much bigger penalty now, if ppl are actually paying attention and click well climbs goes faster, even if u have to go to 83-85 most of the time.

Im with slush on this, the only change I would like to see for the class is the base stats, keep it to 5-10 dex/str and rest into vita/int.

The worst part about alchemist is that you have to start stat the first 20 points into vitality, other than that im all good with the class.

I nulled, cause there were no good option for someone finding it "Fine, but need tweaks"

based from its abilities, it is a tank caster. yet starting with 15 vita. doesnt seem very legit.

remove some dex. add some vita. and the class is actually fixed.. no shit. this is all there needs to be done for alchemist to be one of best characters in game.

I guess 4 year long seasons were kinda pushing it... Should be much better now :) the only reason your seasons are short is because some people only whistle in groups. 45 min climbs are cool but remember when we fought EPs and actually played the game instead of power leveling endlessly?

You know you might be onto something here... That was my first thoughts when I was looking at it.

Having never played alchemist, I don't think my opinion counts for much. However, I will still say this: I think it's fine as is, and I have a couple reasons why I think this. First one is that they're the last class of the line and they have the ability to reset the ladder. Second reason is their weakness makes the challenge more interesting. If they were the most powerful class in game, what incentive would one have to reset the ladder? Additionally, why would Paul disallow the use of weapons on alchemist if not to make it even harder? I'm sure Paul wanted this last class to be hard to play, hence the no weapon rule and the low vitality pool. So... if he wanted this, I doubt you will get what you want if you asked for buffs to this class. ;)

Voted worst class ever... plenty of climbs on it now to have formulated an opinion. Way to grind out tons and tons of climbs get rewarded with Warlock and then with Headhunter... then after you really bust your nuts to actually get to alchemist the reward for opening that 5th door is a kick right in the sack. What a fuckin pleb ass class, cant wait for someone to reset so i can get off this aids.

Truthfully the only reason I even thought of this was thinking of ways to revive the widespread use of int charms like the old days :rofl:

Oh so exploring is what this game is about?
When was last time you did mirror maze? have you done it? if not, do you consider urself even playing the game?

Cause I have, and all what that is good for is prof, unless you care about GP, personally I dont care about gp's what so ever.
Between half to 1/3rd of your climbs this season I have done Mirror mazes.

So as far I know, you have never actually played this game in that sense.


After all the game is about getin up to MQ and get the reset!
If you want to explore, feel free to, but that's not what the game is about. (Exploring didnt even exist when the game came out)
