Is it too good to be true?
A Top-tier melee DPS with full BAB, 400 PRR, 140 MRR, 36% standing dodge, infinite boosts, 100% doublestrike, and massive sustained damage — that's what the Full Meta Alchemist is all about. No trade-offs, no compromises. It shreds like a cannon and survives like a raid tank, with dodge spiking to 95% on demand and a huge HP pool behind it. Solo capability? R10.
The engine:
infinite action boosts with zero cooldown between them, plus the highest damage melee imbue in the game (1d8 vs everyone's 1d6). You're always boosted, always hitting harder than you should be.
How to play:
idle in Orange state, open with a boost (Blue) into Poisoned Strike (Red) — a massive AoE that strips poison immunity on its own, so even "immune" mobs melt. That combo puts you in Purple state and you enter a spike, where PRR skyrockets and you shred without fear using Quickcutter, Legendary Rally, and Sunder-like attacks. Fight over? Smoke Bomb (Yellow) into GEW (Red), back to Orange, engine reloaded.
Permanent Action Boost Mechanism:
The bottled boosts - unlike normal boosts - are literally spells. the trick is to get the spell CD reduction from Shadowdancer Shadowcaster for 10%, and then the Arcane Alacrity epic past life for another 10%. Whenever you cast a bottled boost, it goes on a 40 sec CD - but the other bottled boosts go on a 30 sec CD - meaning you can use an action boost every 24 seconds since you get spell CD reduction. Alternating between Bottled Boost: Haste and Bottled Boost: Power is the best combo I've found. This build gets 10% extra attack speed when using the melee power boost from Legendary Dreadnought Carry On.
Dodge:
This build brings your max dex bonus and dodge cap to 36% dodge (or 38% with the Curse of Intangibility). When encountering a doom reaper, you use Eladrin leap + Quick cutter and it's gets you very close to 95% dodge for just enough time to kill that doom. During boss fights I like to use that same combo but with the Action Hero (Epic Moment) which brings me to 95% for 40 seconds straight.
Movement:
Since you're an alchemist, you also get the Bottled boost: Sprint which you can use along with the other boosts. You also get the Flight of Kings from Dragonlord T5 and Spring Attack which u can use consequently, making this build one of the fastest builds at cap.
More Perks:
With the Dragonlord CC, evasion and a rogue splash for traps (and imbue), you've got an active, fast, rewarding build that never gets boring
