What Weapon would a Chemist use?

[Sora-san]

They'd use a miracle weapon to be in this game

[Rinuko]

No. Just no.

[Khalithar]

If they go by final fantasy tactics:

The best weapons for chemist in that game were pistols that used elemental spells instead of bullets. They could wield a magitek gun that fires healing energy and then some sort of "negative" energy for dealing damage.

[Cidel]

Pretty sure a comment was dropped by the devs a while back that they might have considered Chemist for HW but scrapped it for Astrologian.

Even if you ignore the DoH dilemma, every weapon they have been known to wield also has seemingly been taken already, so hoping for Chemist at this point is like still holding a torch for the Thief job.

Then again, I suppose it's not impossible, XIV has taken some liberties in the series.

That makes sense, Walter White was a chemistry teacher and he used pistols/guns.

Anyone noticed it's the same person who also made the "no 4.0 raid" thread? I think some people just wanna see the world burn

For starters, it wouldn't be a "chemist". Too much potential for confusion.

As for a weapon, why not go for broke? Give it a mortar cannon that fires potions at people and call it "grenadier" to ensure no confusion can be made as to what it is. Problem solved.

Definitely Bells :P

So basically these guns.

If you go by earlier iterations of Chemist, it'd probably be a dagger and pistol combo.
