Noxctis's Flame Alchemist Guide!

  Im going to put my 2 cents into this and like to mention the Royal Alchemist Title as an effective title choice.
  odds are, a alchemist in generally wont just be using Flame Burst and Heatbuster. I use flame alot now because of the Load time being the same as WC now.
  :v
  Atleast for me, i would use Royal Alchemist more over Fire Alchemist, but under CC Master and Alchemy Master. I have CC master, but i want the damage more personally.
  
  note: not everyone can be a royal alchemist and some wont make the cut into next week, so thats what makes it such a unstable title for some.
  honestly, its better then most take it for. i honestly think it deserves a better mention. but thats me

  Yeah I was thinking of including it but I doubt, seriously doubt new players would get their hands on Royal Alchemist title. It's better than fire alchemist title but compared to Chain Cylinder, not really worth it. And I know that Flame Users dont just use Flame Burst and Heat Buster, that's why I included a pretty long lists of other skills to use. x]

  Doesn't Fire Alchemist title only give 1% Fire damage? Master of Alchemy Master is better I believe

  Yeah I have that in my thread. New players obviously won't get The Alchemy Master title so easily though but I added it in since I use it. I can dish out 2.6k crit with the title. x] Fire Alchemist is only good if you have no other title.

  I'm always jelly of how fast it is to develope a flame alchemist build :x...

  Well I'm missing out on Flame, Steam, and Synergy but at 5 charges with a Volcano Cylinder R5, I do 900 - 1k+ when it doesn't crit, 2.6k when it does crit.
  
  With 1 charge, I do 100s normally, 300 when I crit. That's all I remember.

  Well Flame Burst isn't the only skills you use as a Flame Alchemist, there's Heat Buster which also doesn't ignore protection for crit rate. Charge, and even more especially if you're a hybrid user. You're going to want more crit if you're a melee person or a range for example.

  the Royal Alchemist Title as an effective title choice.

  
  I'm just going to throw out something that I do here, because I think I might be the only one. I've never seen anybody else do this.
  
  As a Royal Alchemist, I wear the Royal Alchemist title (+5 fire damage) and the Royal Alchemist boots (+8 fire damage, 'hot' enchant that only works with the title). Eventually, I can replace those boots with Hot / Cowboy boots, someday. To give me the flame burst enhancement (10 points to activate), I wear the main clothing part of the Flamerider outfit (Flame Enhancement +6) and Cressida Gloves that I got pretty lucky with (Flame Enhancement +4).
  
  When I eventually have the Alchemy Master title, I'll switch, but for now, this seems to be more efficient than the Fire Alchemist master title.
  
  EDIT: Of course, I could accomplish the same thing by just wearing Flamerider Boots with a Hot enchant on them. I just don't have those yet.

  Doesn't quite match up? Whats your critical hit rank? I think the Criticals should be more around 2.8-3k crits?

  Eh, I do hit up to 2.7k sometimes but its usually 2,6xx on weaker monsters. But yeah no idea. xD That be nice to do more damage. I'm pretty sure my friend Kenero can hit up to 3k +. She has all enchants and gears and such.

  Good guide, but remember that Flame is a suffix.

  Damn, totally going with fire. I have water cannon rF now and I think it's okay but i'm just not really a fun.
  
  I've got like 40AP to spend right now, total 1x, i'm guessing Flame Burst first? Looks awesome.
  
  edit: just used flame burst for the first time, dear sweet lord this skill is amazing.

  On my elf in Mari I went with water alchemy, but got bored.
  Fire alchemy is definitely more fun.
