Damage pot discussion

Okay with the recent nerf to chemist I have noticed several things that have already been singled out. Imma try to drum up a discussion about possible tweaks to the class. With the new mana pool set up the core ideology about chemist has been effectively butchered. With the massive reduction in mana pool for damage pots the damage pots are effectively booby-trapped and are unusable without creating a significant vulnerability in the class. Anyone that even tries to use 1 damage pot will see a near 50% mana pool reduction making all people even the most talented pot pvper unwilling to use damage pots and leave themselves incapable of healing or switching to other pots. Group fighting has also been significantly hampered by the mana pool rework. While I realize the point of it was to reduce pot spam. On the same token reducing it has greatly and I mean GREATLY reduced the chemist's ability to defend itself against more than 1 player at a time

Therefore we should start considering the notion of replacing damage pots with something of more combat value. I highly doubt the mana pool situation will be reworked so lets adapt, and create a new ability, or add in a new pot that evens the playing field. Has long as the mana pool rework is in place or damage pots exist there will always be a massive vulnerability in the class, and that doesn't really make chemist worth playing much anymore.

 

This was an attempt at a serious discussion just saying

 

Its funny how there is a thread about how chemist is so done that its irreparably damaged and it gets all the comments and opinions. When someone starts a thread on trying to set up ideas for potential reworks or getting opinions on what should be done about vulnerabilities the thread gets ignored or people post answers that are clearly meant to troll the thread gets nothing interesting added to it. Love how the ctf community functions >_>
