Hinting at New Jobs? [ Small Spoilers for Patch 5.3 ]

"Fighting with potions" could also be a metaphor. Like how we are "fighting" the current pandemic with travel restrictions, quarantines, and hopefully vaccines before long. It doesn't necessarily have to mean using potions in combat.

Same goes to Alisaie's line with "warrior". As was revealed during the storyline, "warrior of light" came to be synonymous with "hero". So a "warrior who fights with potions" could well mean "hero who cures people with potions".

Spliced these together as the conversation was still going because I have a friend who's pining for a Chemist-type healer and I thought he'd enjoy it.



Now I'm not saying it's 100% no doubt about it a hint, it could very well be nothing or just a nod. But she's pretty clear about what she wants to do.

I didn't think there would be any hint of a job before the rising event next year and I am not into job theories in general but this does sound pretty telling and I think a lot of people here agreed that a "chemist" type of healer could work.
I dig it and I am sold.

Yeah, I generally don't participate much in job theorizing either and I'm never fully sold until I see it officially announced, but this felt pretty on the nose that at least as a concept a traveling potion-maker able to handle themselves in dangerous situations was something they wanted to spotlight.

Now if it turns into a playable job or it was just a fun wink remains to be seen.
