Overload Module + Support Mode class symbol works amazing on Alche in distortions/raids alongside other supports. For the first burst in raids you can do small might buffs with Stims + LB Flood to proc divine weapons (if your team do not use Irradiation). Then for any other buffs the LB and SW (with Wings of Skies artifact) give Macha might buffs while Alche uses Herida's Wing - only using stims if Macha's are not charged somehow. The Red terra symbol outheals the damage taken with 3000+ energy, so Overload Module + Support Mode can more often give allies 20% damage boost. (Also current Reaper invasion atlas has Improved Adaptation node, so I'm using Overload Module + Implacability of Aspects to constantly stack up 25% damage boost to my teammates in combat). Alche differs from LB and SW in ability cooldown time. LB Blessing of the Sun is ready every 40 seconds, and SW with Khella can Overcharge every 40 sec or give ultimate if ready. Alche Energy Shower has 80 sec cd (so can give every other buff) and 2min40 sec cd on Biotrap. For legendary weapons, Scylla is the safe/reliable option applying the Cocktail debuff and keeping it refreshed with some Ectoplasms. But using Flos legendary weapon can reduce cooldown of Energy Shower to almost sync up with LB and SW buffs. I agree that the ultimate (both cooldown and effect) need to be adjusted. 8 minute cooldown (and debuff) for an underwhelming 40% HP heal (that removes "negative effects") is too much. If devs are too scared to reduce ult cd to 3-4 mins, then at least reduce it to 5-6 mins. Great overview and breakdown of abilities and general tips for Alche. Here's hoping you do LB and SW next to keep things going.
Thanks for making an updated rundown on the Alchemist. I use the companion cooldown/dmg build as the alchy/lb and for the Alchy I use the Flo, reverse mutation weapon to lower the cooldown. It allows me to constantly buff every team member during Party missions, and also cool down the ultimate ability. Stimulant Injection seems to not work as intended on playstation, it goes to the character with the most might I have see regardless if their dps or a tank. In addition machavaan's guard is a great choice to have if you don't have companion cooldown bonus to lower the time for the injection before buffs are called machavaan's guard is available and you can us that plus the Injection to buff the whole team with might (use the divine weapon first). The terminal cooldown increase was because of pvp and the LB's decrease was due to balance issues as the game progressed. I noticed about the terminal turning ppl into monsters, I laughed. If it's anything like Flo, the should leap first the swipe lol. Overall decent update on the Alchemist.
I've try to play alchy long time ago and i didn't understand anything, its way more clearer now, thank you ! Just one question ; what are you looking for your gems and jewelry when you play alchy ? i saw in your video that you have a full dmg built, don't we need to follow recommanded stats like companion's cd and so ?
Question can the Alchemists still transform? I'm on xbox and wanted to know if it still can, and if so would you happen to know how? It would be very much appreciated
Send your adepts when they come back they have a chance to bring faith back. In the regions you can resque followers - after 100 resques you will start getting faith

Nice overview of the class, I'm building one now on the Switch.
Thanks for the overview. As a newbie Switch player, I’d love to see a whole series on classes!
Hi Pickle , you helped me the other day on discord to pick me favourite character and my main, soundwaver! I like the character so much. Thank you!
my pleasure
Nice video, would be great if u make a video of buff rotations for alche and the rest classes if u can.
I remember way back in the day them slimes would melt things down out dpsing people as a support
yeah... good old days :D

Basically it's defense set up. But if you advanced player you can do something like @Jango Mango said
Can you use the stimulants on yourself?
Im new to this, just completed the first campaign rn i have outlaw, revenant and ach and bounty hunter… which class i good for a solo… ?
Grovewalker
Question can the Alchemists still transform? I'm on xbox and wanted to know if it still can, and if so would you happen to know how?
It would be very much appreciated
It is comes from legendary weapon - don't remember the name thou
Thank you, also do you have a updated video on how to gain faith faster and gear.
hey so I'm kinda new to the game right, I'm thinking about getting Gunner, Alchemist and Revenant. In your opinion are these good choices?
If you new to the game... grovewalker gonna be best option.
@@CrazyPickleGaming alright
Does the aura of multiple supporters stack? Or just will take the highest one in the group ?
Takes highest one
@@CrazyPickleGaming ty :)
I just became a junior god and i was wondering how do i gain faith points? cuz i have 3 missions and i cant finish them unless i was in god form

@@CrazyPickleGaming thank u 🙏
How do you have so many alpha stimulants ( i think that's the name ) you have like 3K do you buy them every time from hall of trophies?
no, when it's unlocked in HoT (Hall of trophy) you get weekly 35 of them. If you unlocked all 3 - you will get weekly 35 of each
@@CrazyPickleGaming oh ok thanks a lot i was looking all around internet to find out about that
what about the tranformation? how do i get it?
you mean when you transform to a different creature?
@@CrazyPickleGaming yes!, o see them turn into a mutant or something they no longer do it?
@@celenaeliza258 it is legendary weapon has that effect.. dont remember exact name but it looks like a flower-ish
I’ve been told the max avatar trophies is 3 and I’ve also been told you can get all 6. Can you confirm one or the other
you can get 6 from training version of avatar for Temple of Deeds.
you only need 2 from the champ version to unlock Aspect of Magic and Vengeance
@@CrazyPickleGaming so you can get 6 by doing A5?
@@pillager3786 yes
@@CrazyPickleGaming ok thanks
How do you get class symbols? The slot is locked for me
You need to unlock Terra region
@@CrazyPickleGaming how do I do that?
@@pillager3786 you should have storyline quest for you "Uncharted territories"
@@CrazyPickleGaming oh the one where I have to get ether. Ya that’s a very hard mission. I can’t do that one.
biotrap gone on ability bars
PVE abilites you can only see when you're in the group... when you solo it only shows PVP set
Can u do outlaw next??
I am just gonna do each class from the top to the bottom
How to get new weapon pls
offer of the day in the market or when king ransom event comes back or you can get legendary weapon capsule from invasion pass
@@CrazyPickleGaming what’s the king ransom event? You’ve mentioned it to me before but I couldn’t find it
@@pillager3786 they bring that event into the game time to time.
But that one you need to use argents anyway.
@@CrazyPickleGaming oh thx
