Strange Alchemy Event - Featuring Mystic Eddie + The DEBUT Alchemist!

[MisterEly]

So I found something interesting...

In the Underworld story, The Beast mentions the Clairvoyant's brother, named "John Dee". Sparton said that said The Alchemist was based on "Dr. Dee"; Dr. Dee being actual dude in the 16th Century, he was a profound mathematician and studier of alchemy and magic. His full name? John Dee. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dee

(NF nailed the design, in terms of likeness to Dr. Dee)



TL;DR: It's the Clairvoyant's brother.

Had enough ironite to purchase 30 summoners souls and right out the gate, landed the Alchemist, along with a Mystic, Fear of the Dark Eddie along with a ton of dupes. VHE still alludes me though. Anyway, I added him as my champ if any of my troopers want to test drive. Not sure what tali's to load him with yet.

Shoot! I may have just played your old trooper. Would you mind if I deleted and re-added you so that I could test him out?

No problem my friend!! I'm sure you will give me a few pointers on how to dress him . Thankfully I saved enough skill shards to max him out.

Alright so I just gave him a test run on A Matter of Life and Death, Madness difficulty.

First thing, his power says it has a 25% chance to Doom ALL enemies, yet I've only seen one enemy be Doomed the whole time. His basic seems to be the same way, it transfers some of the negative effects into positive effects but having something like that on a basic is still pretty cool.

His Fury looks pretty awesome but doesn't do that much damage. In fact, none of his attacks hit 9k, even if it's against a warrior opponent. So The Alchemist is more of a utility fighter, than a powerhouse.

Since his basic hits one opponent once, I don't see much room for talismans that usually proc more from aoe attackers, I recommend using Fate Talismans on him to boost his damage and also add longevity. And also maybe Guard Shields to add toward his Fury. Obviously his Fury is his best aspect with that new effect it has.

All in all, he seems like a great character, I just wish he did a bit more damage.

If those clowns would fix the game instead of starting one useless event after the other, everyone would be happier.

I've lost complete respect for NF, not fixing the bugs for me means not respecting the players, so no respect from me too.

Exactly, the historical John Dee is an interesting figure, particularly if you approach him and his writings with an open mind.

"The Alchemist" on Final Frontier tells some of his story. And several other Maiden songs (e.g., Moonchild and others from Seventh Son) probably wouldn't exist without Dee's influence.

24 Souls, only 3*s I'm a sad, and now, poor panda!!!!

No regrets tho, RNG is RNG, Glad people are getting him, I'm a returning player, This is my first event invoving souls and ironite, which I was saving to buy talisman's xp packs, but WTH when all in, just for the lol's so far nothing I will try and get only one more soul from the store, for a total of 25 tries, so far only 3*s, not mad tho, I do know how RNG works, and everysingle soul have a chance do be the one with good chars in it, but every soul have it's own chance, so no matter if I buy 25 or 250 the odds on each soul alone is equal, the only diference is that you have 250 chance of getting comething good, instead of 25.

For this type of events I play the game for what it is. And since this is a timed event, why the hell not try a few times, the Ironite comes back in due time. The souls just last for some days.

So far bought only the starter pack to support the devs. (I do this with every game I play that I think I have the return in fun hours playing, and so far I'm playing this game a lot more then I expected, and having a great time.)

Cheers!!! Ed.

I have to agree with this statement. If NF used a quarter of the effort they put into char/event thinking and design we probably could have a flawless game. No crashes and everything works as it should. Beginning to think their code is written by RNG and that’s why they can’t fix anything. Since I haven’t even bothered trying for this guy this statement is not based on personal luck.

I don't understand why everyone is wasting ironite on this event. Everyone will get the Alchemist eventually from the shards... Beside event souls are the worst way to spend ironite.
