*pokes Liss* Eh, she'll be fine
Anyway Tyso, I'm kind of loving the build, Teccam's probably one of my top five favourite builders and the Crystallurgist (The Sapriarch is probably up there) is probably my favourite of them all. Very hard to pick but yeah, that's a bloody great build so any relationship between the two is always going to be appreciated here :D
So at the moment, there are probably two things that I'd recommend editing/changing about the build. The first is incredibly minor, and just involves going through and removing a lot of the white space caused by additional lines being used (or whatever :P). It just throws the presentation of the build off by a teeny amount, and kind of pointlessly expands the build. As I said, super incredibly minor but yeah, definitely something I'd recommend changing but it could be because I'm anal AF about presentation :D
The other thing is a bit of a larger problem (IMO) because this build is based on Ordinator. That's not the problem (otherwise I'd be a super hypocrite considering I've got the most Ordinator content around here) but I think you've just really skimmed over what some of the perks could do. I understand that this is mostly because you didn't actually play it with Ordinator, but skipping out on that section kind of makes it feel very...tacked on. And it's not really a massive problem with Archery, but there's an immense difference between Vanilla Alchemy and Ordinator Alchemy and a pretty big one with Light Armour. Here's a bit of an example of a few perks that would/could change the build massively between the two.
Alchemy Mastery - Changes basically nothing, but you have to remember that it only has 2/5 of the power increase when compared to Alchemist. That's pretty major if you were only taking the base perks but there are plenty of perks later on that help.
Physician -Again, relatively minor but only being able to focus on a single stat is a rather large change from the base perk.
Poisoner - WOAH, a 100% boost at Level 100 Alchemy. This is where we start really getting into some massive changes. Even if you consider the fact that Alchemist would net you the same boost. You're now looking at a 140% overall boost to your Poisons as opposed to 125% but the difference is you only need 3 perks rather than 6.
Bottomless Cup - This is arguably the most insane perk for late-game and your essentially getting 8 free uses of poison when compared to Vanilla by 100 Alchemy. That's kind of insane and changes gameplay immensely. Now you can apply poisons at a much faster rate, but also are stuck with a poison for a lot longer. In vanilla, you can kind of pick and choose for just about each opponent but now you're locked into a poison for 10 attacks. It's a little hard to say how impactful this is, but you've got 7 different named poisons, and if the player used different ones as well, it'd be a very tricky situation.
Alkahest - The first completely unique perk, and a powerful one at that. Increasing your damage on poisoned enemies is really, really, really useful and something that doesn't really have an equal in Vanila (other than MfD).
Amplifiy Lethality - Yeah...a 250% boost to any poison damage...Uhh, I don't need to say anymore right? That's devastating
Advanced Lab - Another 25% boost to potions
Green Thumb - Eh...no change
Double Toil and Trouble - A second potion at all times is powerful as fuck.
And the whole Stimulants line is just kind of great. Then you have Witchmaster which is just... It changes the gameplay rather immensely, or has the potential to at that point. When your running some fo these perks that completely change how the build works, I just think it's important to mention them. If you'd like I could help get a section together for you that goes into detail on some of the changes, because when you add in LA and Archery...Well the build can function incredibly differently from a Vanilla build using the same skills...
Shit, sorry Tyso, that got way longer than I thought. I'll repeat my quick mention of an offer for help. I wasn't trying to shit on the build in any way since I can see the reasoning behind it, and I actually do really love the build itself. The gameplay behind it, in either Vanilla or Ordinator is really awesome, I mean I love Poisons with Positive Effects but the way you've used them is really cool. I had no idea that Companion's Insight would work like that and it completely changes how this type of character can be played. Combine that with the Backstory, and your usually great Roleplaying section and the build is really great. It just needs that kick up the butt with the Ordinator content, or needs to ditch it (because the build functions fine with Vanilla).
