Hope you like it^^!

I am done.
You may post now^^!

No One likey meh CC?

You need more 5e skills. atm you can cast 3 spell potion things before running out of energy

done^^!

Nothing else?

I guess I have time now, so I'll try to figure it out.

First, we are just like PlayNC, during the weekend we forget how to read, let alone write replies.

I'll start of with what I think is a large problem.
Its a very diverse and multi purpose skill, that actually changes in use as you increase the attribute.

Which is exactly what the problem is, skills with such a broad usage, are not the style of GW; Actually not of most MMO's(unless you count every persistent NWN2 module server as a single MMO, instead of part of the NWN2 experience).

The reason is balance, if a skill has 4 uses theres a large chance 1 will be too weak or too strong.
You could use this on a ranger pet, to raise it's level and give it skills.
The enemy monk so he can't heal.
The flag stand in GvG so people can't place flags in it, and have a neutral fire imp that attacks everyone.
Minions to give them skills, and extra damage.
Not to forget turning abbadon into a lvl 15 imp for 25 seconds, with 2 alchemists in the team, making him lvl 15 permanently.

First of all, the alchemist is not a god they shouldn't be able to create life where there was none. But could transform objects into other inanimate objects(such as an explode for X fire damage if anyone uses the object(useful on flag stand))

As well as transmutations for allies, but not changing skills, because messing up someone's hard worked build is not often taken in gratitude.
Nor would they give skills, because that would mean you could give skills to pets and minions.

And lastly transmutations for foes, these in the first place weaken foes, but might also shutdown by replacing 1 random skill. Or stopping the foe from using shouts or chants, because you transmuted their mouth away.

Although on second thought, if you can transmute foes, why not transmute their hart away, or their head? Logic wise it might be a good idea to say that the target of a transmutation has to cooperate(be an ally or inanimate) in order to receive the transmutation, otherwise the class's lore would be inconsistent with the way their skill's are balanced.

The skill descriptions of the homuculi are confusing and I think also wrongly implying.
I think you meant to have the homunculis suffer the health degeneration, least I hope so, because otherwise its really overpowered.

Absorbant elite homonculus E15 A3 R30
Destroy the item you are holding, or a nearby corpse; Animate a Level 1...11(15) Absorbant Homunculus.
For 10...25(30) seconds or until it's health reaches 0, it steals all Conditions, Enchantments, Hexes, Weapon Spells and Potion effect from all adjacent creatures every 3 seconds. The Homonculus suffers 6...3(2) health Degeneration.

^Ignore that I changed the E/A/R to my formatting, but the description should be clearer.

On that, do homunculi just stand there, like nature spirits? Or would they go to attack foes or would they run away if someone hits them?

Lastly yall'o'yall was whining to me on how my ballista was an alabaster, and now you go around and use a 'ballista' as a launcher cannon thing
that deals elemental damage with normal attacks... ...a bow? How?

It looks like you want to use it as some kind of catapult(slingshot) or sling.
While those are both fine, and would have an easier time launching non arrow shaped things;

A tubebow would also suit the purposes(made one of those as a science project long time back, the neighbors where overjoyed to find it launches paint balls )
Also I have been checking too much GG and want to suggest a 'pressurized launcher thing', kind of a bagpipe like weapon.
Put something in it and it gets pushed out over longbow range, put nothing in it and it spews out 'something' at multiple foes in half range(like a flamethrower) bag pipes aren't technological, so neither is a weaponised one, so a bio-mage is free to use one.
In retrospect, if it is a bag plant that would instantly make having an infinite supply of some kind of harmful gas inside make sense.

Anyway, you are introducing a new weapon. That does not seem like mage's weapon, it might help to have an attribute go with it, making it a martial weapon.
I'm sure lots of people would like to use some kind of crossbow, your class has one but no way to use it as a 'real' weapon, just a tool to use potions with.(even though potions might count as attack skills for it)

All in all it's quite interesting and not (yet) out of place, but still needs some work.

Thanks I'll think of something^^.
You change a monster by mixing it's DnA with other monsters.
But they first augment the DnA with some magic and potions.
The DnA acts as a parasite changing the creature, into the ral form of the parasite.
Then the parasite dies^^.
What were you thinking FMA Transmutation^^.

I am not feeling good how the Homonculus works, Arbalester and the Transmutes too.
I am thinking of making a Homonculus and adding some etc on them then make them some killing machine.
But that already taken by my strategist, Adding Upgrades to Puppets or Forts.

And thanks for the Skill editing yours is alot better.

I suddenly feel the urge to get all scientific, feel free to ignore me I'm just showing off.
Parasites don't change creatures, they are either unnoticeable or make someone act irrational.
(*/me struggles to resist the urge to make a lame period joke*)
And changing DNA changes hardly anything unless you do it to a baby.
Because anything you change first has to grow new cells, because the old ones still have the creature be intact.
Though it is certain to cause some of the symptoms of radiation poisoning(insides not working right)in the long therm.

What you want to achieve is possible using a virus.
Viruses always inject their DnA or RnA into cells, overwriting the original.
Unlike the DnA of a normal creature that you mix in, virus DnA is irrational and causes the cell to destroy it's self, in the process creating more viruses.

You can mutate a creature trough viral infection, if the virus has been modified to change the cell into a new version of itself, instead of into more viruses.
That way you get rid of the old cells and replace them.
Because the new cells will still be irrational they too will destroy themselves after a while.
And because no new viruses are created, however much was contained in the original infection is how much of the creature can be remade.

Done being smart*ssed.

But then... how can you change the DnA of a inanimate object?

Nope if that where the case, you'd have to sacrifice (lots of)health whenever you transmute living things.

The Parasite would try to mix and change the atoms of the immaterial object.
But a Dna or Virus inside a bottle sounds btter^^.
But for now I ma busy making my Templar^^.
But first I need to find a pic, Cause my Templar would look like a Crusading Chirstian Samurai Zealot type of guy.
And I need to change my Avatar, into somekind of Beastmaster.
You know like in FFXI, but I can' find a good pic for that^^.
Help please^^.
But I think I'll try to make my Corsair for a while^^.
But I need to think first which name is btter, Corsair, Duelist or Gladiator.

Go to elfwood/find stuff
And type in "Paladin Type2"
Go to elfwood/findstuff
And type in "Ranger Type2"

Haven't memorized the entire workings of the magic word search engine, so you might want to use the in site function on which other magic words to add.

Thanks but I think I already found it^^.

Sorry, Please Don't Post cause the Chemist is under Construction for the while.
After the Chemist this will proceed with the Avatar then the Artificer.
Keep Note this may not be Final.

You may Post now^^!

Is it too overpowered?

Uh, this reminds me too much of full metal alchemist

Ok lets see what's changed.We have a elemental damage cannon. Named like a big crossbow, but it's half-ranged and hits adjacent foes because it fires bombs.

First of all it's ok to just start off with "After 3 seconds"
Only if the thing takes like 15+ seconds of uselessness, or if it has a effect at the beginning, then nothing, then another effect when it ends; would it be required to mention that it does nothing during the waiting period.

Also your potions are projectile based spells aren't they?
[skill=text]Flare[/skill] [skill=text]Dancing Daggers[/skill] [skill=text]Stone Daggers[/skill] are also projectile based spells, notice they all read "Send out" instead of having a time in which the projectile gets from you to the target, you just launch them and it gets to the target whenever it gets there.

Also all 3 skills remove conditions, if you are going to have a attribute full of them(at least 15 skills) there are only 8 conditions, it will get very repetitive, I fear.

Lastly you didn't state a duration for the regen given by elixer.
No matter what that duration is 5 energy 5 sec re-use(3 sec lock + 2 sec cast) full condition removal is over powered if it's not an elite, on top of that it offers 5 regen too.

Lastly being allowed to cause daze on an ally for up to 12 seconds sounds problematic.

These contradict each other, Acid terror check the moving condition every second, meaning every second the foe is moving adjacent foes are interrupted and suffer from daze, and the foe suffers from cracked armor and loses health.

If you are going to check weather the conditional on another skill is fulfilled you probably should make sure it only works for skills that check their conditional once.
Having skills report their success wouldn't be immensely hard to do, nor problematically straining on the servers.

About the power of the pet, 1 [skill=text]Falling Spider[/skill] is bad a pet that causes poisoning on it's own is a tad over the top.
Also I don't think I've ever seen the AI use [skill=text]Feigned Neutrality[/skill] correctly, unless you set them to passive, which is pretty useless on assassin.

For the way of summoning, as its plenty like [skill=text]Malign Intervention[/skill] might want to stay away from the word animate and use create or something instead.
I'm also not sure why to bother with a lock time, just make the skill last 5-10 seconds and have a recharge of 35-60 seconds.
That way you won't be spamming it as it only works if you time it well with a foe that is almost dying, which pretty hard if it has a 2 or 3 sec casting time.

Lastly you didn't give the Homonculi duration you gave them health degen, making them even more like minions.

What does this do? I can't think of any situation where I'd be able to think of a situation where this would be useful.

I'd rather just have some skill to improve that bomb launching crossbow then what ever this does.

================================

Overall its a uncut in function;
Its attacks are a bit like a [skill=text]Rodgort's Invocation[/skill] spam.
It has a huge amount of condition removal as well as some restorative abilities to help allies.
It has a pet that is powerful because it uses skills.

And it has way too much daze, daze is a powerful condition that is also supposed to be a pain to inflict, like requiring the target to be casting a spell that you interrupt else it won't become dazed.
As it uses bombs I think I see where you're coming from, though I think knock down still fits the role better.
While a flashbang skill for AoE daze and blind would be really cool, its just overpowered, multi target attacks dealing daze is just bad.

Put that together... it doesn't really fit.
But the necro with Blood, Curses and Death has 3 very differently acting attributes too and I like it a lot.
Except with this, not all 3 might be a boon to the team, Like with a necro you'd probably will focus on 1 and don't spend much in the others, but with an attribute for mostly condition removal I'm not sure how useful you'd be.

================================

And closing out, I have no idea how this relates to the attacking earth pillars Ed and Al like to use, nor the ability to from an arm blade.
Most of the other alchemist abilities it shows act like elementalists; as FMA totally revolves around human transmutation being bad for the user(your bits fall off), so messing with elements is really the most you can do.
Though some do mess with chimeras or 'summon' cannons and guns.

Very similar to Alchemist and Biochemist from Ragnarok Online. Unless those potions were free (0 energy), they would be worse than normal Monk spells....

Other from potions, Homunculi is very, very similar to Homunculus from RO.

9-29 is pretty weak for a half-ranged, two-handed weapon.

Notice:
Fixed Homonculus Stage Problem(If no one realized, There was no description of Leveling).
And Lengthened Disable Time and Removed Daze Effect of Elixir.
Nerfed Noxious Solution and Morphine.


@SC
Please answer all questions^^, and reply to need comments^^!
Flame Transmutation can increase the Damage dealt by Critical Damage, there is also Cold, Seisemic, and Electric Transmutation.
But also there is Hex and Enchantment Transmutation too.
You can use it with a Crit Sin or Homonculus^^, Do you think I should add 15% more Damage too whenever it reaches a Crit or just make the Creature take Fire Damge from all Scources?
And what if, Homonculi act as those Vanguard Skills^^, Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support and Ebon Vanguard Sniper Support, http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/List_...anguard_skills?
BTW, how do you make that Link thing?
Sending out Pills, Potionic Medicine and etc, doesn't sound right to throw it.
The Person needs to drink it and you can't just throw stuff at people's mout with such accuracy.
Just think of it as a Melee Vamped version of Purge Conditions^^.
And I am Planning of Adding more Skills to all my CCs when I am done with the Avatar and Artificer, 3 Primary Attb. Skills and 5 Secondary Attb. Skills each.

@Abedues
A Bow's Max Normal damage is 27.
While the Arbalester's is 29.
And it can strike Adjacent Foes.

Yeah, it might be but this has a Conditional Effect System, and Potions are Melee Range.

Yes mother...
I don't see the point, if I'm going to sacrifice a skill slot to do what I could do with an elemental weapon mod, I'd rather use a dervish mod as I don't have to recast it per target reducing the energy cost.
I don't know, I guess they are supposed to be like [skill=text]Winter[/skill] or [skill=text]Greater Conflagration[/skill] which I use more to determine the damage my team will take so I can raise the right kind of armor.
If these would really be useful they should

1. Overwrite the effects of [skill=text]Winter[/skill] and [skill=text]Greater Conflagration[/skill] to undo the armor pick.
2. Or have them not change the damage type but increase the damage from the opposite element deals to the foe instead, so change their armor into fire gives them defense to cold but gives earth 10% armor penetration or sum sutch.

I wonder if that would be overpowered, for a Dervish to receive all hexes as enchantments instead.
Well [wiki]Ebon Vanguard Sniper Support[/wiki] isn't a pet skill, its a damage spell. Although it is not as original it would probably work too.
Actually I would suggest the use of homonculi the way you did the mirror clones in the first version of your Sopphetio.
Ohhhhhhh, they are touch skills, I didn't notice that, it's only in the:
Not in the function description.
In that case it helps balance the full condition removal yea.
Thats not a question.
Using [skill] [skill=text] and [wiki] respectively, its real easy to find out how to do, as you just use the button at the bottom of a post that has them and the [X]blaat[/X] that shows how they did it will be in the post.

The Flame Transmutation make the Creature take all Crit Damage as Fire Damage, so all the Critical Damage it takes changes to Fire Damage.
So it would be like all Crit. Damage taken by Target Foe increases by 15% or so.
But you said it's too weak, I am making it to all Damage instead^^.

I'll nerf Enchantment Transmutation, trust me^^.
I'll be adding "For the Next X-Y(Z) Hexes/Enchantments".

It's also in the Skill Description, "Target Touched Allies" = p.

Didn't say it was a Question didn't I^^?

And the Arbalester is a Cannon, which sends out Bombs with Elemental Properties.

My CC is don't end EVERY SINGLE sentence with^^

And play less Diablo 2.

But other then that it looks nice, and looks like you put a lot of work into it. I like the idea. Chemist would be a class that isn't like any other in GW, which a lot of these seem to be. Good job^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I don't play D2.
NOT ALL!!!



Just Most^^!
