11 Build Guide: Consumable Alchemist
22  
33 The Consumable Alchemist is one of the four officially showcased Fatekeeper builds. The core idea is to keep the Druid in a constantly buffed state by chaining consumables. Skill-tree nodes improve alchemy results, increase consumable duration, add a chance not to consume items on use, and scale effects based on the number of consumables carried. The build is partly a mage, partly a melee, and entirely an alchemy enthusiast.

1414 Pre-fight: brew a stack of consumables at Haven.Open by drinking a damage or speed potion.Apply a weapon vial coating relevant to the enemy weakness.Engage; the chance-not-to-consume node lets buffs persist longer than nominal.Throw a handbomb when the buff window peaks.Reapply consumables before the duration ends; alchemy throughput keeps the stack rolling.
