Alchemist Made a Caster Class -

Alchemist - This turned crafting and combat related hybrid class. this would require a-lot game changing
Alchemist is a damage dealer/Healer Hybrid - weapon type advanced medical crossbow - the arrows can either deal damage enemies you also heal nearby allies. cause the gas released on injection like tip boltheads on crossbow.

Alchemist are have a weird form of healing by laying magical orbs on the battle field that. that your other allies can pick up gain decent heal over time effect.

Alchemists Attack's cause chain reaction of healing tank and nearby enemy melee.

You also can create bomb attacks with alchemy

You have a powerful overdrive known as mix watch very much like riku's in final fantasy 10

As far as your crafting not much has changed you still can make potions. what not but the sense this crafting class could be used as combat class. i am all for it

downside's in playing alchemist -

Your class does not use mp as force of power. no instead you use herbs, monster drops most you gain from boteny. you constantly grinding farming items for your ability

crossbows are not known for outstanding damage output. also constantly need to enchance your or lace your arrows with poison to deal decent amount of damage

your heals are very strenght depends on type of potions your gonna use

Will never happen with a range class role job they got rid of arrows on bard because of how bad things wer over priced in 1.0 they did the math apparently and the lvl 1 arrow would cost like .05 Gil naturally they had to round it up to 1 Gil this alone drove prices of everything else up. To wear a level 10 weapon cost 25k.

I would love SE to add a battle Salve-Maker/Chemist/Alchemist. I loved it in Bravely Default, and I wanna see it again
