Stoner Dude [Alchemist]

[zarcellana]

Fascinated by life, the alchemist studies anything and everything it can. With his/her curious mind, he made his own brews and concoctions. These mixtures can either help or deal damage/buffs depending on the alchemist's intent.

[As i was reading some suggestions, there were a handful of lol suggestions and I suddenly got the idea of basing a character class from a stoner but as it seems impractical, I got the idea of an alchemist type]

As there is mana, concentration and rage, the alchemist will use ingredients that fills up over time, albiet slowly, and would increase faster as he moves [simulating the chemist picking up local supplies from the ground, etc.
I though of giving him 3 off-hand equips that deal with his ingredients; a box of supplies [generates ingredients over time faster], a surgical kit [generates ingredients per hit much like rage, though in lesser increments], and a gardening tool [generates ingredients faster while walking]
His weapons would be Flasks, test-tube, and beakers. Test-tubes would have the highest attack speed and lowest damage while beakers will have the highest damage and lowest attack speed.

Not sure if it would be a melee class [he pours his chemical mixtures on enemies or forces them to drink it] or a ranged class [he throws the flasks, tubes and beakers]. Though in my opinion it would be better if he was melee with a few throwing skills.

Since it is my opinion that the chemist class be melee I would make the skills based from this conjecture.

Basic attack: Smashed Glass - The alchemist will smash tube/flask/beaker on the opponent. [Punctured] Some shards stick to the enemy's body thus making it hurt more. deals 75% of basic damage as physical and 10% armor reduction for 5 seconds. [I based this off of the 'Marked" skill of Rangers and my other skills would implement embodiment's of this 'plagiarism']

*I will refer to test-tubes/flasks/beaker as containers*

Ooopsie! -Costs 15 ingredients- Containers are filled with an acidic salve that burns through skin and bones [or just bones for the undead] Deals 150% of basic damage as physical. Punctured enemies will get 15% basic damage as DPS as long as Punctured status remains.

Quick Sand -Costs 45 ingredients- Mastery of the land allows the alchemist to make a thick quicksand on any land. AoE trap type skill which ensnares enemies that walk in it, rendering them immobile for 3 seconds [2 for pvp] and deals 175% of your basic damage as nature damage after the duration + 50% slow for 1 sec. Punctured enemies will have a 3 second slow after the immobility instead of 1.

Tea Time -Costs 50 ingredients- Alchemist drinks his favorite brew of herbs and spices. Makes alchemist immobile for 2 secs while recovering 5% of his total hp per sec. He will then have an attack speed and movement speed buff of 15% for 10 secs.

Chuck it! -Costs 30 ingredients- Throws a container of a harmful concoction dealing 100% base damage as physical and 10% dps for 3 seconds. Punctured enemies will have the dps damage increase to 50% but will not extend its duration from 3 seconds.

Catnip - Costs 85% ingredients- Alchemist throws a 'catnip' to an enemy and that enemy will be aggressive to other monsters within the vicinity. For pvp, the catnip would stun a player for 2 seconds and takes an amplified 25% damage + 75% of your basic damage as physical.

Paralytic Gas [High Time] - Costs 70 ingredients- Alchemist, throws down 2 pre-made concoctions which results in an explosion of dust which apparently stuns enemies in an area around him. Stuns enemies for 3,5 seconds. Punctured enemies get stunned for 5 secs. [PvP stun is 1,5 and punctured PvP would be stunned for 2,5 secs]

Munchies -Costs 100 ingredients- After smoking some herbs, alchemist begins to feel a great urge to eat, and anything would taste great. For 10 seconds, gains 50% attack speed and steals life based on 10% of damage dealt. Quota: If alchemist doesn't steal life equivalent to 3,5% of his total life by the end of the duration, he would become immobilized for 5 seconds.

Whatever! - Costs all ingredients as long as the current ingredient level is 50% or below- An act of desperation, the alchemist mixes everything he has left. Deals (35% of basic damage x .1(amount of ingredients spent)) on a aoe around him. Punctured enemies would have 10% of basic damage dealt as physical DPS for 5 secs.

Dragonknight's blood - Costs 35% of total ingredients- Alchemist studied the blood of the dragon knights and created a potion which he can imbue someone the strength of DKs. Increases one's attack power by 150%, increases defenses by 25% and reducing 15% attackspeed for 15 seconds. Will be unable to regenerate ingredients during the duration [exemption with using off-hand surgical kit]. [Possible to cast on party mates]

Super Sweet Coffee - costs 50 ingredients- Drinking this will make you too hyper active! Increases attackspeed by 30% and movement speed by 15% [can be used on allies]. *Does not stack with tea time. If both are used Super Sweet Coffee would over ride tea time's attack speed and movement speed buff as well as timer.

****That is all for now. One problem I am facing is the lack of a mobility move and I want to keep it in theme/logical to the character. Some of the names are not really well thought of, as I just wanted the concept out with my own original idea for skills. Constructive criticism would be very much appreciated

Hhaha +1 by me ! I love the name ! Srsly... there should be class named "Stoner dude" or maybe Stoner Druid...

I think this is the best idea i've seen for a class. Make it mostly DoT(poison flask?) and heal/buff/debuff class as a non-magic guy.

Steampunk looks cool if it could fit in the game, still there are many variations that could be interesting in aestethics. A scientist of medieval ages perhaps? With a monocle and techno stuff as accessories.

[gogogajit]

love the idea for that, but i think it should be a healer and buff/debuffer with minimal dps/dmg spells, so in pve you debuff the mob, after buffing your self of course and atk and heal at the same time. or maybe the potions also make you go bear form for tanking so you can heal, debuff, or bear tank and buff or something like that. great idea btw
