Why would you ever get Tranquil bots on hero with 15/30/60 base regen?
Why would you ever get Vanguard on any hero other than axe?
What's the point of getting Radiance, if you first intend to dump (at least) 4400 gold in other items?
Do you really, really think phase boots and BoT are so bad that they aren't even worth mentioning?
Where's ganking Concoction Spray Medallion Alchemist?
If you're going for cheap core like MoM Armlet, then why HoM at all?

TBH I'd advocate phase medallion core, and start ganking once you hit lvl6. If you know the trick with keeping your mana regen increased outside ultimate, you'll have little mana issues. Forget about early greed, it's not effetive if you don't get freefarm (if you have supports securing it for you AND stacking jungle, that's another story). Maxed concoction is a 4 second stun, couple what with -12 armor, and it becomes lethal.

Maths!

Imagine youre ganking 6 armor hero. Pretty common for that stage of game.
Armor of 6 reduces physical damage taken by 25%, so opponent woul only take 75% of damage.
Reducing armor by 12 drops it to -6, at which point it becomes -31%, thus opponene takes 131% of damage.
131/75 ~= 175% which means 75% relative damage increase. Neat.
And as a bonus, concoction deals physical damge as well. If you quickly drop spray and use medallion before concoction hits, it gets amplified as well. Maxed concoction against -6 armor deals 471 damage (Lvl 1 finger of death deals 450 after reductions).

Obvious extenstion would be Lothar or Dagger, depending on playstyle. You're not a carry yourself, you're paving the way for some real dps. And draw lots of attention (alchemist has huge model :P)

Ok but when RD is on trilane with 2 supports he can get loth, armlet, mom in 20. Min and then he can solo pwn anyone with 150 dmg +30as from PT, 30as from loth and +100%as from MoM = with 150loth crit, timing 4 sec stun -6 armor and mby -6 armor from medallion is inaf op to kill anyone in 4 sec imo

^ horror


Radiance as core, with vanguard/phase. Later assault cuirass or some other item, depends on game.

@div.ide

Disagree about part regarding vanguard, it's useful item on many heroes, including alche.

And vg on riki also NS right? :D
Heroes who can absolve much dmg need radiance as sylla or alche, then radiance is a need,with heroes as nw or pl for dps and escaping spells :)
Ps: feel like a pro... NS commented on my topic xD

well, everything depends on your enemies, you can't make radiance against naix

Radiance is nice okey but mjollnir is fine too for aoe raping.I dont think mjollnir is horror.Ultra attack speed with ulty so more and more electric.Radiance burn damage=45.Mjollnir electric  damage=160.And u have nice static electric passive on it also.

Why the hell another time I read about lothar.... seriously guys.
You have only 6 spaces... ok lothar is fine item especially with new recipe items but alchemist isnt weak hero that needs to get out of battle...

Phase boots, HoT/venguard, Mljonir, Bkb/abyss, Radiance/BM, Curias. Then you are best supporter ever.
Let your carry make lothar if he knows his role.

Exactly he needs to get into battle and rape hero who can nuke. with that shadow blade you can make full 5sec stuns and rape anybody

You can always ask another support to buy smoke of decid or buy it yourself.
Moreover your stun range is so high you just cant make lothar.
Evenmoreover even if enemies focus on you its EVEN better.. you will have over 3k hp with BM and letting your carry make the job. I see no point what you have said.

Ok, 2 problems I have with this post.

- If you're using Lothar's to escape, you probably don't understand the item. This is offensive item. sneaking behind your enemy is offensive. Backstab is offensive. DPS boost is offensive. Trying to escape, and getting dust-killed is defensive lame and stupid. Unless it's apem noobs no tr +1.
- If you spent 20k on items, then you're not a support. Not necessarily your main carry, but definitely not a support.

And since you now mentioned drawing attention: there's no better way of drawing attention than standing in the middle of crowd and whacking everyone in range. Defenitely works better than throwing your stun from 9000 range and not getting to hit them afterwards.

I'm not saying you should by all means get Lothar's on alchemist (it's rather situational), but for the love of god (whichever god you pray to), this is good item for semicarry, and if anyone should never get it, it's probably
your carry
Title: Re: Alchemist item build/gameplay
Post by: iNevermore on April 10, 2013, 16:39
Well yes, but you are forgetting how fast alchemist is farming. If you buy midas you will finish those items faster than anyone else.

I just mean, you have very good stun. High range and aoe stunning why to waste money on item that wont help much?
You want fast getting in? simple. Do something that not much people would do and buy dagger.

The thing is we have to remember who alchemist is. With ulti tuend on, fart smoke around BM on with 3k you are really very powerfull. Lothar will be good alternative for 1-2 ganks. If your enemies are smart enough supporters will ward around or dust you to death.

Why carry shouldnt get it? I dont mind of my carry Nevermore knowing his job and playing well getting lothar... dagger is fine but I dont mind lothar on Nevermore, ursa and some others.

Soul ring is good at the beginning, and Ring of Basilius. If you got a good farm for 7-10 minutes you can buy hand of midas to farm even better (+ attack speed). You can later build basher, vladmir,  maelstorm, BKB, S & Y, armlet and other items... depends on the game. And game over...

After lots of alchemist games, i had some builds to show
For semi carry/mid/off wand phase medallion armlet mom, almost can kill anyone in no time, with stun + acid skill build

For rich greed attack–move carry  rush midas then battle fury if team stacks neutrals radi if not, in total radi fury mjo ac heart, then potions for allies to sell

For non fighter support boots medal wand, and bunch of auras and arcane boots(wtf he has enough mana?, only arcane if you get mek, or team is badly asking for it)

Buy sobimasc on 6 level and use bug only :D

The bug is the following:
you drop the sobi mask, use ulti, pick up the sobi mask. since sobi gives 50% boost to your current mana regen, in ulti the regen is lot higher, so you will have endless mana.

BTW that bug was supposed to be fixed back in 2011 I guess, maybe early 2012.
