Alchemist



Once upon a time there was a renowned Alchemist throughout the land of Azeroth.  He was so mighty that other alchemists grew jealous and conspired against him.  They accused him of Demonology and exiled him to a distant island.  He soon discovered that a legendary titan held a potion ingredient that would allow him to teleport back to home… And so the fight begins.

Interesting concept, I kinda like the herb/potion theme to this builder.
What would happen if only 1 of the required ingredients was in the pot and the titan kills it, would that ingredient still exist in another pot? Or do you have to regather it. 

[Mayhem.]

VERY original.

IMagine a luminious potion and a power-keg on a satyr.

o.o

i used to have a suggestion just like this as I've said before it makes me sad

[Defcon_5]

First thing.  Heavy armor is a really bad idea since it actually increases spell dmg.  Fortified armor is a time honored tradition.  Second.  how bout you make the builder skin Goblin Tinkerer, then you have an upgrade where you get an Ogre Slave which changes the skin to the Alchemist skin and increases the stats to something like the nat level.

Or you can try something really crazy = Starts tinker skin, then you buy Ogre slave = mur hunter's stats, then you can load and unload your tinker ontop of the ogre = skin changes to Alchemist when it is loaded.  Sounds complicated i know, but think how crazy that is.  Would probably need alot of trigger work.

i'm sorry to say that that's false, yes it takes extra from magic damage but that and spell damage are different. magic damage is like the type of damage a frost wyrm does spell damage is like stomp, if you still don't believe me look at satyr armor it says it takes reduced damage from spells and magic attacks they are definitely 2 different things and on heavy armor it only takes extra from magic it doesn't say spell. If you still don't believe me why would they make demon have heavy armor? wouldn't that cancel out the 25% spell reduction.

[ShadowDream]

the reason i didnt give him fortified armor was so he couldnt tome like crazy. Hes supossed to be powerful, but vunerbale,

[JayceJa]

by giving it heavy armor all you change is that its less vulnerable to piercing attacks, which i think the minions summons are, apart from that aspect it is the same seeing that magic damage never comes into play

[ShadowDream]

should i make it light armor then? or w/e the easy basers armor is. If so i need to take out the armor potions...

[13omb]

well i think that you should give him a up like demon to give him fort armor i think that's fair enough.

[ShadowDream]

his potions r his up. but mabey he should have fort armor instead  what do u guys think?

[rage_no]

Also, make the potions buyable because if you have to search for them in a game with 5 other Alchemists then everyone would start flaming you if you find a potion they needed.

[ShadowDream]

buying postions would ruin concept >.> anyways there shouldnt be anymore alchs then 1-3 in a game. And as soon as one is found another spawns on the map.

Do you actually think in a pub game that finding a potion would not bring any spam? Seriously, you find a potion then those other noob alchemists(also trying to find ingredient) most likely will type : NUB! GIVE ME THAT DIC* POTION NOW!!! STUPID MOTHER FUC***

Excuse my bad language XD

[ShadowDream]

well thats bound to happen unless its limited to 1 >.> just like in old pandmines v ersons people always screamed i want sat... its just unaviodable

[Northwind]

What an extremly origanal idea.
This builder is quite a specialist and has an interesting gameplay style.
I have three questions though,
1.With the spawning of random herbs and ingredients, what would happen if there was one where u are trying to build something? Would u need to make the destroyable? this would be good for titan as if he found a herb he could kill it .
2.What if no-one pick Alchemist. Random ingrediants would be no use to anyone unless...
3.Other builders can use the ingrediants to make weaker potions.

The idea of random potion items spawning across the map is not something I want to have.

An ability that summons a random potion ingredient, much like Enchantment, would be preferable to the map wide item spawning.

ok...
1.the herbs could be destroyable, meaning titan or builder can destroy them.
2. i dunno how that would work, im not good with triggers.
3.i think only the alchimist should be abgle to make the potions.

ok, maby have cetain spots where the potion items spawn.

someone whose pro at this builder will eventually know all the spawning places, making it easy for him to take the potion items.

[ShadowDream]

there could be like 3-5 of the spots and the potions randomly go to one of them. They could be decently far away from eachother. Sure a pro alchemist would kno were all these spots were, but a titan could camp a minion at these spots 2.

why would anyone want to waste a minion to camp at a spot for one stupid potion?

[ShadowDream]

idk 

[13omb]

i didn't want to give you my solution because i was going to make a race but I'm to lazy 
so any way you have 12 herbs and to make it easy i suggest using color herbs such as:
red, blue, yellow, brown, pink, purple, orange, white, black, etc. (i was thinking having around 12-15 and i hope you get the idea)

then you make a building that costs 80 food and it sells 2 of these herbs at start (sells all the others at a price). then you get upgrades in a different building that allows you to buy 2 different types of herbs each time.

Next I think it would be a good idea to use a mixing pot (this is the only place herbs may be mixed).
This mixing pot contains most of the recipes for most of the potions within books like the mags but labeled offensive potions and defensive potions. (you could not give away some of the potions ingredients aka having secret potions).

finally give the pot a ability called mix herbs this ability combines herbs in the pot making a potion, if they do not make any of the potions it creates "nasty green stuff"
nasty green stuff: heals 5 hp

this will allow you to only have one building that sells these herbs to reduce mass potion production (herbs would need a cool down and possibly hold 2 at max). this also solves the solution of having to run across the map to find herbs. Finally it will still allow you to get these herbs no matter how many times your buildings are destroyed because all your buildings that sell those herbs can permanently sell them even if rebuilt.

hope my idea helps
