The alch version gets to play with different class levels and ap that the EK version does not due to having a feat for int to damage on simple weapons. That means moar dice and dps. Against neutral targets ( targets that are not vulnerable or immune to your specific element ), the alch version puts out more damage. EK has the advantage in quests where changing targets doesn't require stripping immunity on a cooldown.

Class ap :

Feats :

ED: Shiradi 33/SD23/Draconic ~14. If you have a raid party where others cover SD debuff then put 20+ into draconic instead for the one minute wellspring.

Gear is pretty much the same as EK build except it swaps in dread Sky necklace and ring and swaps out Sea versions. Trinket and Ring from Legendary Silver Concord set.

still happening, but at least it strips immunity now. when i was on an alch thrower for alchemist release, the ability wouldnt even function

Use Flame Arrow.  Summons +1d6 fire damage bolts.  Your conjured bolt will likely have the same bonus as your XBow, so doesn't get any benefit as you use the higher of the xbow or bolts + to hit/damage.

Why take the Law toggle.. you cant use it with poison and then you took Harbinger of Chaos? SO you plan on taking a chaotic Alignment instead of Neutral?

You're patient and kind.

Rubbinns wrote on Jan 17^th, 2023 at 4:51pm:


Ok.. I thought you could only get the imbue if you toggle, and if you toggle THAT one then the other turns off, thus losing any of the imbues you were getting for THAT toggle.. Staff made it sound like you can only get the benefits related to specific toggles WHEN those toggles were active?

Likewise, you only get the benefits from harbinger if you're chaotic... otherwise its a wasted feat

Toggles are mutually exclusive. Dice are universal. Toggle is pre-requisite for imbue dice.

AP is in the OP screenshot, along with feats. ED points are listed below that but not pictured.

The alignment is chaotic neutral for harbinger of chaos feat.

Which toggle are you using for imbue damage?  Vilechemist has poison coating. Not sure if there is another?

So I'm looking at your rogue enhancement tree is off a bit, toxin affinity has a pre req now being venomed blades. So I adjusted to still nab those 3 imbue dice  from toxin affinity

Thanks a lot for posting this Rubbinns. I used this build a lot gaining ETR's+Reaper XP.

Even in the low 20's when hanging with three or four guildies around cap, this felt like I was still contributing rather than just being a soul stone in someone's pack.

Ranged obviously helped keep me alive, plus I could heal and backup heal if the healer died, and even trap in Sharn etc.

Yeah thats where I screwed up
