Idea Suggestions for Chemist

Chemist does not need speed II. No class needs speed II. No class needs to be as fast as ninja. This would throw off any balance chemist has, and nerfing strength to compensate wont make it any better. The majority of chemist mains use it as a capping class due to its good healthpool, AOE attacks, and tankiness. So, good luck trying to recover off that if you're not a ninja/archer/assassin.

 

I'm a CTF veteran myself and I must say that chemist is a lot more balanced now than it used to be. If something needed to be fixed about chemist it's the fire resistance duration (longer)

 

would be OP and we have no coder

 

While I do dislike the current chemist, what with only being able to throw 4 pots at a time before basically being f*cked by that squad of heavies chasing you, I don't think giving chemist speed II is the solution. Seeing how the only thing(s) that can effectively kill a chemist capper are ninjas, possibly assassins (yes they can catch up to chemist, but the pots make assassinating a chemist fairly difficult in my opinion.) and obviously archers. With speedII, ninja would most likely have an even harder time killing chemist, and at this point ninja needs all the help it can get.

Another problem I have, strength and speed are one potion, meaning chemist would have to lose one other potion so strength could be splash and speed could be drinkable, or they'd stay the same potion, making it drinkable would mean chemist can't buff it's teammates (which potion would you drop?)

You've emphasized that your goal is to make chemist more fun to play, which I am all for. But if this is the case, why do propose a greater limit to the pots it can use at any give time? It seems rather counter productive, and I feel like the time limit on chemist is fine. Chemist is meant to use its' potions, that's what they're there for. If you're going to nerf anything, nerf the amount of damage those damage pots do (@SquishyTrump ).

As always, this is my opinion, not fact.

 

@benneyb123 Chemists don't need speed 2, a damage pot stops a ninja's combo and from there on it's just another hit ot 2 and they're dead

 

Chemist is fine, the only thing that could be changed is the Fire Resistance time (minor change).

 

Its hard to balance chemist because of the skill level of some people that are beast at the class. Just so you know, most of the time you die, it's either skill that killed you or teamwork.
