This is a public build.

Overview
The whole point of this build is to create, a strong build that reaches the primary objective, as easily as possible. The reason this build works well because it creates a solid damage dealer with decent support for good dungeon clearing, and easy soloing. You're decently tanky, with good AoE clear using link, paired with the strong skills in the pyro class. It does fall off later in the game, without any new attack skills from rank 6-7, but you're not making an alchemist to be a beast. You're making it to make that sweet sweet silver. And, you will be making it I promise.
Stats
People say different things, and have different ideologies about what is better, and what is worse. Personally I found that a healthy pool of con early on really lets me shine, where as int not so much. Don't get me wrong, int is useful despite the crap scaling, but only takes hold of it's own usefulness in large quantities. I'm not going to lay down a ratio of point allocation since it's not needed. I'm just going to tell you a range, of where your stats should be, and you can decide where you fall into it. The low number being on the low end, and the top number at overkill. But, that's all dependent on your pay style
CON
80-140
I pumped most of my early point into CON reaching 130 quickly, this allowed me to be tanky, get my hands dirty, and take some shots when taking those long pyro pauses when casting. No matter where you fall in this range I've set, or you decided to disregard this, either way con is nice stat to have early.

Spirit
30-50
I personally put 45 spirit into this early which helped, but later down the road I found that it didn't seem to matter to much. I never run out of mana, unless I'm using my summon extensively which is going to happen either way, and when resting beside a campfire my mana takes seconds to be full again. So, take it or leave it. I personally would try to hang on the lower side of this stat, and put them into int later

Int
~Everything Else~
After I hit 130 con, and 45 spirit I've dumped every single point into int after that. Since I reached a stable hp level, and no mana issues seems like a reasonable time to start gathering some extra fire power. That being said just dump the rest into int unless you want to be more tanky. But, this is what I did, and 0 issues making it to alchemist.

Rank 1
Most people would take energy bolt 5/5, but I personally would take sleep and energy shield over it. I never use energy bolt anymore. Sleep offers good CC, and energy shield is a skill I still use, because well obviously any damage not taken is always a good thing.
Rank 2 - Pyromancer 1
Ok, so time to start burning things. We're gonna go with Fireball 5/5 Flame Ground 5/5 and Fire Enchant 5/5. At this point of leveling, flame ground will be your most useful skill, since fireball is kind of stationary, and won't reach it's full potential until you start linking, but still powerful all the same. Remember you can use the c button to hit your balls (lel), and move them If need be. Fire enchant is only maxed for duration reasons. We won't it to always be up on us, and our party. If you're new to the game, the reason why is that it adds another line of damage. You may be wondering what does 17 damage really add up to. Welllll... Say you have an arde dagger on. You auto, you get 150 damage bonus from the arde on the first line, then 150 on the second line granted he enemy isn't weak to fire. So yea, that's a good little poke, and great to have.
Rank 3 - Linker
This is where it starts getting fun, the only thing we won't from this is joint penalty, and hangman's knot. But, since you have extra skills left over. Go ahead and put them in logical order. I haven't found a usefulness for physical link, and I'm sure there is one. I haven't found it. All I know is that it pretty much has wiped every dungeon party I have ever casted it on. I know how it should work, but unfortunately you're not given the chance to use it properly most of the time so, it's really nothing to consider. Also be aware that you can use fireballs link them to enemies, and pull them together. A useful tip, when that pesky mob steps off your balls(lel)
Rank 4 - Pyromancer 2
Time to start adding more damage to the kit. 10/10 fireball 10/10 flameground 5/5 Fire Pillar. Nothing really new to know here, except fire pillar has a longish cooldown, but is usefull to control large mobs, since they will get caught in the flames, and take damage.
Rank 5 - Sorcerer
This a damage filler class, since you will encountered issues only being able to do fire damage.. Sometimes healing enemies with fire damage.......... You need to have some type of other damage to fil that gap. Just follow the those levels, and find ya a templeshooter card, giving you adequate damage, and the summons scales well by stars on the card, so get the card to 5 stars at least as fast as you can. The servant is a great little buffer, even if he is slow at doing so, and if your moving won't cast them. Getting the attribute for servant is a good investment for pure convenience. Summon Salamion isn't the greatest, his damage isn't awful when you get this skill, but the AI in the game is stupid, and isn't worth putting more than 1 point into. Dump the rest into familiars for some extra damage. Also this is a filler class pretty much, You could go other classes to fill this gap, I personally went sorcerer, because I liked the concept. But, other damage classes would also be effective. To me this was the most effective though I never tested another class in this slot. So feel free to experiment.
Rank 6 - Alchemist
You finally made it here, so get some job levels, dump your first 5 points into tincturing, and starting making some quick cash. Well I say quick, crafting large sums of potions takes huge chunks of time, but the reward is great. You can sell lvl5 pots for 900-1000 on my server, and I generally make 500 at a time. Go farm some long legged tree in goddess, or w/e they're called. Then max awakening, and for people who don't know the level increases the amount of people you can take into the dungeon with you, and from my experience the monster start at the item level of the item. I'm not sure if that's hidden in game, since I have a lot of addons and can see the item level. For instance, you awaken an arde. Arde has a weapon item of 15. The monsters will start at level 15, and increase in levels. The process generally takes 10-20 minutes, and the stats are random taking one potential from the item every awakening, which can be repeated by awakening the item and losing another potential. Some people still think you have to trade the item to the alchemist to awaken it, but it can be requested by right clicking the person from the party screen, or some screen xD I know you can request it, but I don't actually know where you right click to do so since I'm never the requester
Rank 7 - Alchemist 2
If you followed my skill guide then you have 5 points to distribute, put them into gem roasting, or you can max your tincturing, since people tend to want to trade dilgeles for lvl 10 potions making it very lucrative, but I would say go ahead with gem awakening to add another money maker quickly. Then max tincturing. Now you have 10 skills points left. When I made this character, I couldn't find a lot of information on opus, so I didn't put my points into it. Instead I put into Briquetting which is a nice skill, but also kinda a luck game. So your choices here, is 5/10 briquetting 5/5 opus or 10/10 briquetting. I'm to lazy to do any research on it, since if it's not a constant money maker I generally move away from it. But, it's up to you. Do some research and decide for yourself.
Generalized Weapons/Armor
IArde is a good item especially on this class, which offers damage on dots, and your fire enchant line. Cafrisun is a good pick as well, I used clothe and cafrisun up until around 175+ and switched to plate for extra tankiness.
