Hi mohammed!  Welcome to torchmodders first of all.

Thanks very much for the feedback. It comes at a good time, because I just started some Alch characters to review some other feedback I got from the Steam forums.

I plan to play up to about level 20 on 3 builds (melee, ranged caster and summoner) to come up with plans on what to tweak and how.

If it's not too much trouble, can you pls continue to post your observations here?  It would be a big help!

Hi mohammed!

im at lvl 15, emberstrike looks powerful when blighted!, makes me consider dark descent build.

Hehe! That's why we made blighted versions of some of his skills, to tempt you to the dark side!!!

however for some reasons the ember sentry won't summon.

Okay I notice from your previous post that you are playing with Synergies installed as well. First of all pls know that we designed TL1CP to be played on its own and we do not guarantee there won't be conflicts with other mods (in fact it is most likely there will be conflicts if you have other mods installed).
But having said that, I will see what I can do it might just be a simple GUID change...

What style-of-play would you say you are using at the moment? More of melee-caster? Or do you use ranged skills more? Do you use minions much?

im playing staff type, i would do like emberbolt, iceshock, then when i got charge i would do ember strike, phase and fire gauntlet. atleast thats what i came up with.
the other skill i can't find a combo for, might be nice if you can complement skills by one another. like the ember lightning and lance, i like them but i can't connect it to a good combo.

anyways merry christmas! Phanjam

hi guys im back playing this again..very nice improvements v178. here are my observations.
- ember bolts
  - skill shows 4bolts in the skills panel at tier 1 even if it shoot only 3 bolts.
  - incredibly short ranged skill. and weak damage. i take that this is is for a Blighted Alchemist(i haven't choose yet).
  - only poison damage he got. migth not be that bad.

- fire gaunlet
  - not that weak of a skill, thank goodness it scales in tier.
  - for a skill that takes away your movement and attack capability im expecting more from it.(like the vanquisher fire trap, has faster hit.)

- ember lance
 - bro i sincerely think this skill should be electric damage.
 - same second comment on fire gauntlet.
 - this one scales poorly. i love the effects but its weak itself.

- vengeful shock
  - man this is a useless skill.

- frost edge
 - this is perfect just what a melee caster needed.

- ember shield
 - at tier 1 you call keep pressing it to get multiple random elemental shield. which disappear once you lvl it again. it will only maintain a single random shield.
 - nice skill overall, doesn't need to guard it since there is no time expiration(keeps you focus on other things)
 
i would really like to see alchemist, as more of an alchemist than a mage. like having a Transmution skill, or a Chemical Reaction skill, or a set of skill that when executed in order creates more. i feel that this alchemist is more mage than a man of science. and since im here giving ideas why not be the first class to consume embers!! to enhance himself or his skills. that would be cool.

About "consume embers" I have an idea:

Combine it with Phanjam new skill layout, when consume ember you will have 1 point for each types of elemental "route", each high tier ember for higher ember damage skill.
It's all about the unlock skill point rule.

For example:
4 fire ember base skill dam for 4 tier ember. Passive
For active skill, you raise it skill point like normal. And the damage or effect bonus is from all the Passive.

But with mohammed thought I think he wants to use ember to use skill (LOL I think ít's hard engine)
More harder is combining ember to create combo like Magicka.

More interesting, harder and harder
