     Power: 5 (Megalith of Doom)

Tank fumes: 10 ferrous

            10 chemical

            10 toxic

            10 taint

Expel all four fumes from your iron tanks in a sudden exhaust to form

the contamination. The contamination works to negate protections from

asphyxiation damage as the thick, greasy cloud cannot be stopped. Those

who attempt to control their breathing to avoid asphyxiation will find

the necessary large breath to be extremely painful. Finally, any

asphyxiation damage will also produce bleeding and contagion as the

contamination fumes seep into the lungs and rupture alveoli. The effects

of the contamination will weaken over time and will fade away completely

after a Lusternian day.

There's also a Fuse skill in there, but I don't have Runes at the moment so I can't see it.

Akyaevin

It's only ~500 damage on hold breath. And we don't seem to have the ability to refresh contamination the way aeros can their one.

Akyaevin

Here are all the implant messages. Some of them are a little squicky, but they deserve to be shared.

irontanks create

Running your hands over the iron, you slowly enhance the Earthen vibrations deep within the metal. As it softens, you quickly smooth it into two rough sheets, folding these in on themselves in order to form cylinders. Repeating the process with more lumps of iron, you split each cylinder into two and cap them, imposing your will upon the metal to fuse the seams together. More iron is formed into various nozzles, gauges, attachments and other additional tools, which you fit into place within and on the newly formed tanks. Rising from your work, you swing the entire apparatus up and onto your back, iron bands hooked over your shoulders. As you flex and stretch, the iron securely adheres itself to your skin.

implant neck bolts

Moulding the iron bars into thick bolts, you expel ferrous fumes from a nozzle on your iron tanks onto the metal. Carefully guiding the metal's reaction to empower your excorable force, you press the bolts into the sides of your neck. Your flesh yields readily to the pressure of the metal, each bolt quickly sinking into your neck until it is anchored against your spine. The metal warms beneath your hands as it fuses to your bone and your flesh adheres to the earthen presence.

implant rusted spikes

Moulding the iron bars into long spikes, you expel ferrous fumes from a nozzle on your iron tanks onto the metal. As the ferrous fumes wash over the iron, it grows rusted and jagged, bits flaking off partially to form smaller teeth along the spikes. You drive the sharp bases of the spikes into your elbows and knees, the metal anchoring itself deep within your joints. The metal warms beneath your hands as it fuses to your bone and your flesh adheres to the earthen presence.

implant bone lacing

You expel chemical fumes from a nozzle on your iron tanks onto some iron bars, which dissolves to fill up a massive syringe retrieved from the side of the tanks. Using a second nozzle, you expel ferrous fumes onto the liquid metal, reinforcing it against divinis attack. Grasping the syringe tightly, you slam it into your thigh, the needle coming to rest deep within your bone. Pressing down on the plunger, you feel the liquid metal force itself into the bone, filling it and solidifying. You shiver slightly at the exquisite feeling of the earth entering and becoming a part of you. You then repeat the process until your skeleton has been fully reinforced with the metallic bone lacing.

implant hydraulics

You carefully manipulate the iron bars to construct a pair of hydraulic pumps. Expelling ferrous fumes from a nozzle on your iron tanks, you reinforce the structure of the hydraulics. More iron bars are dissolved into a dark, metallic liquid with a blast of chemical fumes, which you use to fill the cylinders of the hydraulics. Driving the ends of the hydraulics into the back of your legs, the metal comes to rest against your bone, fusing solidly to it in order to reinforce your musculature. Bending your legs slightly, you test the hydraulics, easily propelled upward by them.

implant polluted studs

Reaching behind you, you open a nozzle on your iron tanks and expel ferrous fumes onto a set of iron bars, forming them into a series of flat, rounded studs. Each of the studs is then exposed to a concentrated blast of taint fumes expelled from your iron tanks, taking on a sickly green-rust colour. You carefully apply each stud to your body, the metal melting into your flesh and fusing itself to you.

implant steam optics

Treating the iron bars with chemical fumes expelled from your iron tanks, you carefully construct the steam optics, forming the iron into two grey-coloured spheres, each pocked with countless tiny dimples formed by a final application of chemical fumes. You open a second nozzle, covering the spheres with the expelled taint fumes, and watch carefully as the metal takes on a glittery, silver sheen. Finally, you grit your teeth and turn your head to one side, opening a third aimed at your eye, expelling toxic fumes which dissolve the eye and leave behind only a mushy jelly to drip slowly down your face. Using the remains of your eye as a lubricant, you install the new silvered orb in its place before repeating the process for the other eye.

implant filth pump

You carefully fold the willing iron bars into two smaller tanks, which you fill with a combination of toxic and taint fumes expelled from your iron tanks. Attaching the new tanks to either side of your existing iron tanks, you retrieve a pump mechanism and several tubes. The pump is quickly attached to the new tanks and installed between them, the tubing fitted to long, curved iron attachments. These attachments are moulded with the aid of additional taint fumes, before being pressed against either side of your abdomen. The iron slides willingly into your body, and the filth pump begins to whir with a shriek. An odd sensation of pressure fills you as the toxic-taint fume mixture enters you on one side, combines with and enhances the natural, putrid contents of your body, and leaves your other side to begin filling the new tanks.

implant cranial implant

You form a rough dome from flattening several bars of iron and fit it onto you head. The iron slowly melts under your will, fitting perfectly to the shape of your skull. Reaching behind you, you expel a precise combination of chemical and tainted fumes from your iron tanks onto the dome, its surface sizzling and bubbling as it takes on an undulating pattern. As the fumes take full effect on the metal, dark energy begins to arc between peaks on the domed surface. Placing the completed cranial plate upon your head, you smell a chemical, burning stench as the plate dissolves and replaces a portion of your skull.

Eh, geochem looks underwhelming at first sight. Vomitting and dizziness aren't particularly dangerous or difficult to cure. Masochism does more damage than vomitting tics, iirc, though vomitting also makes you hungry, but w/e, mag hunger tactics are already something a combatant knows to prepare for. Pox will actually synergize nicely with the other mag guilds, but alone? Not sure if it's going to be effective at all. Health-return passive damage is decent, I guess.

Steal balance, return damage are okay as retributive, I guess. Steal balance, at the very least, will be useful against physical classes, extending how long they stay off balance for. Decent synergy with ecto use, but 1v1, it won't become a problem. Only thing I can forsee as an issue is if the bug for a single type of retributive proccing multiple times in an attack hasn't been fixed yet. But other than that, it probably won't even slow down casters.

Rigor mortis and health leech are, again, not going to stick long enough in a 1v1 to do any damage. Health leech particularly isn't even useful in groups, though if an attacker in a group fight is super unlucky, I guess it's possible to get crucified right after attacking a geochem and proccing rigor mortis if the stars align and the blue moon shows up.

Dealing bleeding and a random contagion aff on asphyx damage is definitely nice. It's weird, but it looks like for geochems, the pvp attack is the earlier one, and the pve attack is the excorable one that costs reagents. Though ranged excorable is nice for stand-offs, I guess. The potential high amount of affs from getting contagion affs on asphyx damage might be able to help stick some of them, perhaps, though most of the geochem affs are on disparate cures (pox on salve, vomiting on purgative, dizziness on herb/focus, rigor on herb, healthleech on herb/purgative, various plague affs on various) so I'm not sure how viable stacking affs will be.

The only thing that may be of concern is, as Neos says (somewhat sarcastically, maybe?), TP/TK. But that's been said already, and it's pretty much the same situation as the other chems.

Akyaevin

The contamination seems to be a proc chance on any asphyx damage, not scaling (or at least not scaling much) to the strength of the damage. Causes ~100 bleed and a random plague aff.

Xena

I get the vibe that admins are trying to move away from instas and use damage instead with these chemantics skills *cling gahtirak'sho*

Neos

Lerad said:

Enyalida

But damage doesn't work, le sigh. Speaking of damage, that 100% excorable attack is going to be absolutely crazy. You thought the 100% divinus attack was bad, this is going to knock your socks off (probably). 

Yeah, like all woodchemantics skills, this looks like decent support for other archetypes, and not so hot on its own... of course, psionics!

Lerad

Excorable will be just as good as divinus in PVP. Not "absolutely crazy". Not sure where you're getting that from, since they are pretty much effectively the same in PVP. PVE wise, divinus still has an advantage, but only in terms of amount of mobs weak to it.

Kio

Hey, hey, hey.  Don't forget about my awesome cutting damage.  The cutting damage that doesn't even cause bleeding!
