I believe some kind of alchemy will be a strong point for the Witch Doctor.

maybe potion making.

but i think alchemy really refers to having transmuting powers. pair alc and engineer type class! it would fit well...;)

also remember, there are many kinds of 'alchemists,' ones in europe differ from middle eastern and asian alchemists. one kind wanted to find a potion to grant immortality.

or animating inanimate objects

off topic, but on the screenies for the goatmen beasts, it shows skeles and maybe mercs, fighting them...notice that?

When I use the word "alchemy" with Diablo style I expect potion throwing, mostly + some random stuff that can be randomly tied to alchemy.

well then by part of your definition, we were all kinda alchemists in d2, we could throw pots

but i understand what you mean. it would be cool to up weapons with a formula + skill for a alchemist class...adds to the economy.

Only if we found them. The alchemist would make them out of thin air.

no i meant as in the up'ing quest. only the skill would create a permanent up of an item. now there should be restrictions limiting which type of item and all that. but that would be a crazy skill for an alchemist.

Ricochet Shot:
This skill will throw the equipped glaive, but with increased rebounding properties (bounces further off of walls.) Any enemy hit by a glaive rebounded off of something will recieve double damage.

I'm imagining this in catacombs level 4 in the room just before you go into Andy's throne. You know the place that always has a ton of carvers. I'm seeing a guy standing there tossing those circular glaives you linked directly towards the wall and then they go flying like a bullet all over the room smashing everything. It Looks Awesome!

I really like the idea but I have to agree with whats already been said, if there are no potions then it really isn't an Alchemist.

Also, this should be in the Classes Discussion area. I'll report it to be moved for you.

Alchemist reminds me of Drognan from Lut Golein, selling potions. Maybe making some fire-bombs or acid-potions/exploding potions to throw at people But the witch doctor already does that!:/

sweet a conjurer class and a ranger I can see it now rust clouds and bombs and traps I agree it sounds a little like the witch doctor with the idea of his swarm spell for poisonous clouds or fire bombs for his firebomb skill but still sounds cool

not to be mean but i really cant see how this would fit in d3
