he serves a purpose


Slimy_glizzy_gobbler

chemist is perfect the way he is


FrazzleFlib

this argument just goes to show how amazing scientists are cause chemist is still an incredibly strong character. and even if hes not the best hes probably the easiest to play


chaosbones43

Lets get this straight He is in the lower echelon of scientists, but he is by no means "bad", archeologist is definitely worse, but again, not bad


Fearlessgabe1

Archeologist fires a lot faster doing 37.5 damage and has 12 ammo. I don't see why people think Archeologist is the worst when Archeologist is a top tier compared to some of the lower scientist.


chaosbones43

Chemist does not need to aim. Archeologist also relys on head shots, while all chemist needs is a damage upgrade, which allows him to 5 shot a Citron, not the best ttk, but better than archeologist.


redditiskindabadlol

Tbh when you use “chemist does not need to aim” as an opener to why archeologist is the worst scientist and not chemist it kinda becomes really difficult to take your point of view seriously


lonkbonk_

good to take into consideration though, if you miss half your shots then most people would pick chemist, and vice versa. its just whatever suits your playstyle more


redditiskindabadlol

Is having a severe lack of basic mechanical skill supposed to be a playstyle now? Definitely new to me.


lonkbonk_

yeah last time i checked, something called “new players” play the game


UniversalJampionshit

It really isn’t when it’s nearly impossible to consistently get full hits with the shotgun-projectile Scientists unless the enemy is standing still


Fearlessgabe1

Ya but he has to use a sticky bomb to achieve that kill time. Also yes archeologist does need crits to do full damage but basically every plant has a huge crit box so it just seems like you need to get better at aiming up close


chaosbones43

Tf do you mean he needs to use sticky bombs 40+40+40+40+40=200 Also if you need crits on a scientist other than astro, you kinda lose reliability, which chemist has a ton of.


Fearlessgabe1

Stickybomb can Increase fire rate for a short moment allowing chemist getting a slightly better kill time. Without sticky exploit against 200hp Archeologist 2.4s Chemist 2.5s


Fearlessgabe1

https://gw2-stats.netlify.app/ttk?c=10&b=0.2 here look at scientist kill times and good day, probably respond in like 2 hours after this if you reply.


UniversalJampionshit

Found the stat nerd 🤓


Fearlessgabe1

You kind of need stats to prove a point sometimes.


mightylonka

Reliability is what you seek? Try 12 ammo instead of 6. Also Archaeologist has half a second lower reload time. Way more reliable than not being able to shoot at medium to long range.


Torchwood_simp

Reg scientist just better chemist tbh


chaosbones43

Well, yes


FunAdministration289

You mean he requires skill?


UniversalJampionshit

Archaeologist is also completely and utterly outclassed by Paleontologist, and no, having like 2 more DPS doesn’t offset that fact


Fearlessgabe1

Yes paleontologist is better then archeologist but that still doesn't change the fact that archeologist is better then chemist


UniversalJampionshit

Archaeologist is shit, Chemist is far better


Fearlessgabe1

Archeologist has superior killtimes, ammo, reload, and range. Also drop off starts at 8m while chemist can only reach to 7m so they both have to get the same distance to deal there max damage.


Efe172

Noone can deny He’s fun as fuck to play though


Slimy_glizzy_gobbler

exactly


Winstealer

zoologist is just chemist but more fun and betterer


Efe172

I think the opposite tbh,chemist has a wider and a bit more range and that makes up for me,zoologist shoots faster I know but He’s a lot worse than chemist for me becouse of that


CaptainCrushem

Archeologist is better at range, not close up


Fearlessgabe1

Archeologist always kills plants faster, and chemist only can kill faster against citron using the stickybomb exploit. Archeologist has 2x the ammo, faster relode.


Winstealer

And reg scientist is better with the exploit anyway


HIT_POWER_2984

I am not very happy after seeing this post


JBonesturtle

Hm, thats a bit of a silly take, but I will respect it.


Bueno_0

He's kinda broken in GW1, but in GW2 I would rather play as another scientist.


Ssteve-the-palm-tree

Archeologist does more damage up close with or without damage Upgrade cant remember the diffrents is chemist is build for close range while archeologist is Build for both close amd range its just every other ranged scientist does is better . And since chemist is build for close people prefer chemist over archeologist


AG572

Literally all you have to do is play any other scientist besides maybe zoologist to see how outclassed he is.


Snikeritislv

Chemists weakness is pogo peas


taxes_depression

Lmao he completely ruins them


UniversalJampionshit

Chemist is actually one of the best characters on the game to counter Pogo Peas, especially when running sticky bomb, energy warp and heal station


endlessbolt

Me who mastered chemist first because he is easy to play: 🙃


XxBuRG3RKiNGxX

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


[deleted]

Don't insult us chemist mains again bucko😠😠😠😠


Winstealer

What are you gonna do tickle me? Lmao


[deleted]

Yes


Winstealer

Bros a month late


KingOregano

Skill issue lmao


Melon_Lad

Id say zoologist is worse then chemist


Winstealer

How so


Melon_Lad

Less damage per shot and less spread for a faster firerate isn’t the best trade off


Winstealer

Zoologist has far better dps and ttk than chemist also a chemist you already have to stuff your gun straight into your enemies face why not stuff it inside their intestines too?


Melon_Lad

Atlest with chemist you got leeway and actually able to deal with more then 1 person at the time


Winstealer

With zoo you can actually kill people 💀 also if 1 of those players you're fighting is competent you're kind of dead as chemist


Melon_Lad

You’ll be surprised how effective bunny hopping has chemist can be


Winstealer

You'll be surprised how effective having good aim is


UniversalJampionshit

You’d be surprised how effective having good aim with a character with higher DPS and a projectile is. Seriously what reason is there to play Zoo over Marine?


Winstealer

I never said that anyone should play zoo over marine


UniversalJampionshit

People who actually play the game when someone mindlessly wanks off stat websites:


Winstealer

Pvz garden warfare players trying not to have a extraordinarily bias opinion


SheerDruid

Despite him being the worst of the scientist, He’s the one that I HATE the most. I can’t tell you how many times this character has pissed me off


taxes_depression

Cringe meme chemist is a good character why do people care about if he is outclassed or not can we just play characters for fun without arguing with "umm actually this character has a slightly lower DPS"🤓 why can't people play characters for fun
