I was planning on trying an alchemist for the first time and liked the vivisectionist. But I'd also like to have a second archetype in the mix, for a tribal witch doctor themed alchemist.
But what would be more effective?
Beastmorph to get a fly speed, better senses and later pounce, grab and more and be a generally bigger meelee threat.
Or preservationist, to not be useless when no mutagen is available and to power the vivisectionist's sneak attack with cheap flankers that can eat the AoOs. A tumor familiar lobbing these with infusion could even cut down on the action economy.
I am very much on the fence here and both would fit to the concept I have in mind.
