Now, I'm playing as pure magic alchemist....
And she rocks!!! (I like het better than my lv.36 knight..)
But I just found out one thing...
So, let me introduce how to make good "PURE" magic alchemist. Pure magic alchemist seems to me stronger than magic-fighter alchemist.
1) Skills - Magics
<Poison Shot>
Most likely, people will be discouraged to put points in her basic skill "Poison Shot". But, I seriously think it is one of her best skills. Poison shot's damage goes up to 50~60 at Lv. 8 (skill) with certain dex. And deals 52~62 damage every 1.1 seconds. Basically, this skill can do 300 or more damage. And I suppose at high level, with good enough dex, it will be able to do 100 ~ 120 ish damage every seconds, which sum up to 600 ish damage. So, I think it is the best skill. Also it's splash damage, that forms poison cloud for a while (which poisons enemies). This spell seriously rocks.
(Quick casting with long range)
<Chain Lightning>
At your level of 18, you will learn this skill. This is great!
spell. Like one from Diablo II, it can hit more than one enemy. Also as Dex goes up, damage goes up fast.
(My dex is pretty high... and damage of this spell at lv.1 is more than 120 ~ ) May use up lots of Power, but you can get a lot of power vial in this game. (Plenty enough that I've never ran out of power.)
Raise this spell will really help.
<Golem>
There we go! at lv.10, you can finally get your "CUTE" Golem. This guy can act as tank, get all the damage from enemies. You can poison shot enemies, or chain lighning them... (Poison shot suggested).
You just have to stand back, and wait until enemies die.
<Golem explosion>
Don't use it until your Golem is almost dead. (you can tell it by looking at the size of Golem) If he is almost dead, explode him to deal damage, then summon new one. This spell is "Strongest" damage dealing spell....
but not super useful. Just good way to kill lots of enemies at once.
<Mind Wrack>
Pretty good spell. You can convert enemies to fight for you. It is not attack spell though, so be aware. I didn't really put lots of points in this spell. But still useful.
<Fire Bomb>
I really like this spell. Good combination with poison shot. and also this spell deals high damage. Just set the bombs, and running around, you will see enemies dead. But it gets really annoying when you face long range enemies.
<Make Potion>
Pretty good... you make potion... But I don't really see the use of this spell... since you don't fight in front.
you will have enough potion to heal you when you are in danger... but you won't really need it if you are going for magic alchemist. So don't put lots of points in this spell.
<Acid Spray>
Only suggested for magic-fighter alchemists. Don't put more than a point, if you are going for magic.
(You have to get close to enemies to hit them with this spell)
<Stone Gaze>
This spell rocks. You petrify enemies... which will give you time to run away or use spells. Also give you chance to instant kill. Put some points here!
- Most suggested skills:
Attack: Poison shot
Sub Attack: Chain Lightning
Summon: Golem /Golem Explosion
Helping: Stone Gaze/Fire Bomb
Special: Mind Wrack
You get 150 skill points through out the game. So, seven skills with lv.20 will be enough...
2) Stat Distribution
Yeah... this gets kind of annoying I guess?
But it's simple. You get certain amount of power as your level increases. And don't forget your main attack is poison shot, which does not use that much of power (30 ish). So I usually go for +3 dex / +2 dex + 1 int alternate. This worked well, I got both high damage and good enough power. (Your magic damage does not increase with + int. only amount of power increases...)
So, Dex is the main point!
3) Level Ups?
It is pretty hard to raise level, if you are magic pure alchemist. But, you can always restart the story, so don't worry. Once your poison shot's damage is around 50, you can go for forbidden catacomb. After that won't be really hard. When you are fighting enemies, make sure to make them follow you, (Form a group) then, poison shot to deal "Effective" damage.
4) What kind of equipments should I get!!?
As I said, dex is the main thing. For the rings, I suggest "Jade band" and for amulet, I suggest Charm.
(+24 Dex, + 14 Int... which are things you need.)
For any other equipments, I suggest +dex... but also +int. Make sure you have some balance between them.
+ int stone is "Wind Totem", +dex stone is "Lambert Crystal".
5) How do I fight with this character!?
You cannot really fight front. you are weak!!
But, you can run around and cast some spells.
As soon as you get golem, you can rest a little. stand back, let golem take all damage, then poison shot enemies.
6) Is magic alchemist good though??
Yeah... definitely! I think it is a lot stonger than any other jobs. (I've played all jobs, lv. up to 25, get the final skill.) So, I really suggest Magic alchemist. Magic-fighter alchemist is not that good. (I tried.)
I don't personally like magic druid, because sting's main damage may be higher, but cannot deal "Poisoned" damage as high as poison shot.

That will be it for me! hope that it helped. I just wanted to help some people, who like alchemists but do not really know what to do with them! See ya! |
