  • The other class, Geomancer is in lore very close to Astrology so while there's a ton of interest in that class as well people have reservations about whether or not it'll be added given the lore overlap.
  • Both classes however currently have lore backing. With Chemist's being very heavily hinted towards in Patch 5.3.
  • Some of us are sick of having magic based healers and want something that breaks from that tradition.
  • In line with above, there's hope a non-magic based healer might finally break the 'robe' meta and let us have interesting gear for once.
  • They don't need to call it Chemist, they can call it Apothecary or Chirurgeon and call it a day. (Both jobs, not combat job but literally profession that a person can do for a living, exist in the game already.) In which case they could be APO/APT or CHI/CHR.

    As for me, I just want to throw glass bottles at people. Is that so wrong?
What hints in 5.3 towards Chemist? I didnt notice
