They also have the ability to coat their weapons in various poisons and magical imbues. Alchemists are quite versatile, as they can use curative admixtures to heal both living and undead allies, have a wide variety of spell-like flasks that deal magical damage upon contact with their enemies, turn them into statues of gold or cover them in sticky glue. As such they are quite adept at using simple throwing weapons such as daggers and darts. They excel in the use of simple weapons, but prefer a ranged approach rather than a melee role, as they have fairly low hit points and can only wear robes. The main article for each class (linked above and below) provides full detail of that class's abilities:Īlchemists are masters in the use of potions, tinctures, poisons and admixtures. Update 56 also introduced class archetypes ( highlighted in yellow above), which are variants letting the player enjoy a different play style of the class they are based upon. Most classes are free to play for all players, but 3 ( highlighted in red above and below) must be purchased with DDO Points, earned via game play and/or are available for free to VIP accounts (details provided in relevant class descriptions).
