Crafting. Why has no one mentioned that Alchemy is now needed for everything

15 seconds of boost damage are usually used for dps race parts of a fight when your other cool downs such as Raging Strikes is down.

One big example is fast conflags in turn 5. If you haven't touch turn 5, fast conflag immobilizes one player and the team has 15 second to destroy the conflag or else the player dies. Now the damage may not be noticeable when 1 dps uses it, but if all 4+ dps uses it at the same time, it makes for an easy dps race.

X-potion of strength/vit/mind/etc now exist as well for 2.2

you should be using burn pots for asclepeus in turn 5. definitely not on fast conflags.

Mega's give you a decent overall boost for sure. They can make up for a missed turn of DPS pretty easily.

Considering that alchemist's use otherwise is just tomes for ACN based jobs and shrubberies, I'm ok with this.

I like most posters here am ok with this. Alchemy wasnt great for omni-crafters pre 2.2 so to see them getting love is good. Plus this is the history of MMOs, once something seems weak and is complained about enough it gets over powered in a future patch.

Mega potions are always needed.

Alchemy was the first DoH class I leveled to 50 and since then I barely had use for it. I think I used it once to hq the staff for my whm relic but that's it. I leveled a weaver some time after and have used that class more within the day I got it than I have the whole time having an alchemist. It's nice to know I will be able to really put to use alchemy since I did enjoy leveling it.

Well then, it's a good thing my alchemist is already lv 50. I seriously only wanted to level it so I could make myself Mega-potions of dex for raids...

All that work on Alchemist just for Comfort Zone just became a potential gold mine.

I mainly leveled Alchemist because I liked the lab coat.

Glad to see I'll actually have more uses now.
