Split Buffs

Also i suggest removing the "mana" requirement for the health pot. Or putting "mana" on steak. Either one brings the balance back.

 

great idea but tbh its been nerfed way too much so that any more nerfs would just be kicking a dead cow....the poor cow ;c

So we nerf chemist and pyro but not archer? k
imo archer should deal 8.5 hearts of true damage instead of an insta-kill for all classes so it would need more teamwork to get a kill with maybe a ninja or ground class to deal that extra 1.5 hearts before/after the shot (or just deal 8.5 hearts of damage and take away about half of the target's entire health pool) to make it balanced in the system with the recent nerfs but hey, who would agree

And on an additional side note... H0w MucH T¡ME DOES IT TakE TO NERF ArchER SH0TS ON CHEM¡S??! ;;;;____;;; i cri and sorry for the semi-irrlevent comments and caps but they are great concerns of mine

 

It is indeed a slight nerf. Now you will have to actively pay attention to your buffs, esp. when you lose them in a middle of a fight and will have to use the little mana you have to splash them on you (and maybe even on the enemy too).

I agree this would be nice for additional teamwork but it further weakens the class for the chemist her/himself.

 

Interesting, I'd like to add a couple small buffs to this idea to offset the lower potion durations:

1) Make it where anyone who receives an effect (like strength or speed) from Chemist receive the full effect. @Chactation proposed something like this a while back and I think it was called 'Persistent Potions' or something.

2) Allies cannot receive negative potion effects (i.e. poison). It's stupid that you can get poisoned by your own Chemist.

Anyway @Skarm I think your idea is a creative and neat little tweak to how Chemist potions work. I like it. +1

 

Exactly my thoughts in a recent thread I posted
I hate when people spam poison on their own teammates and since I'm assassin without a medic I die from my own teammate.

 

We should make it so that instead of your buff time resetting when you are buffed, the time gets added to it.

 

that's a good way to discourage supporting teammates!

 

But then your entire team can stand at spawn with three chemists, and once they use all their pots to buff, (assuming we use the 9, 1-min buff pots that were proposed), every member of your team suddenly has a strength, speed and fire res(?) buff that lasts longer than the game itself. That seems a little bit unnecessary, and completely takes away from the whole "teamwork" and "chemist being a support class" idea.

 

Why is everyone against chemist? Instead of coming up with nerfs disguised as buffs, we should be giving chemist new abilities to change how it is played and give it a definite role in the game.

 

Or you just read the thread and see they want to try and make it more of a supportive class

 

That isn't the point of chemist, but as long as it works I'm fine.

 

It is, but whatever

 

You can kill a friendly assassin with poison... Just a common fact

 

While it's also essential to finding invis ninjas either camping you or the flag (poisoning yourself/teammates is what lets you know). And I think that should stay a thing.
