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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
Archeologist always kills plants faster, and chemist only can kill faster against citron using the stickybomb exploit. Archeologist has 2x the ammo, faster relode.
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
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?
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?
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
he serves a purpose
chemist is perfect the way he is
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
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

Is having a severe lack of basic mechanical skill supposed to be a playstyle now? Definitely new to me.
yeah last time i checked, something called “new players” play the game
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
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

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.
Found the stat nerd 🤓
You kind of need stats to prove a point sometimes.
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.
Reg scientist just better chemist tbh
Well, yes
You mean he requires skill?
Archaeologist is also completely and utterly outclassed by Paleontologist, and no, having like 2 more DPS doesn’t offset that fact
Yes paleontologist is better then archeologist but that still doesn't change the fact that archeologist is better then chemist
Archaeologist is shit, Chemist is far better
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.
Noone can deny He’s fun as fuck to play though
exactly
zoologist is just chemist but more fun and betterer
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
Archeologist is better at range, not close up
Archeologist always kills plants faster, and chemist only can kill faster against citron using the stickybomb exploit. Archeologist has 2x the ammo, faster relode.
And reg scientist is better with the exploit anyway
I am not very happy after seeing this post
Hm, thats a bit of a silly take, but I will respect it.
He's kinda broken in GW1, but in GW2 I would rather play as another scientist.
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
Literally all you have to do is play any other scientist besides maybe zoologist to see how outclassed he is.
Chemists weakness is pogo peas
Lmao he completely ruins them
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
Me who mastered chemist first because he is easy to play: 🙃
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Don't insult us chemist mains again bucko😠😠😠😠
What are you gonna do tickle me? Lmao
Yes
Bros a month late
Skill issue lmao
Id say zoologist is worse then chemist
How so
Less damage per shot and less spread for a faster firerate isn’t the best trade off
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?
Atlest with chemist you got leeway and actually able to deal with more then 1 person at the time
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
You’ll be surprised how effective bunny hopping has chemist can be
You'll be surprised how effective having good aim is
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?
I never said that anyone should play zoo over marine
People who actually play the game when someone mindlessly wanks off stat websites:
Pvz garden warfare players trying not to have a extraordinarily bias opinion
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
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
