What are the Alchemist Roles and Rolls these days?


Advice


So, the Alchemist. It's one of the most versatile classes out there, capable of specializing in almost anything. It's a good design, but that means there's a lot of possibilities that have to be considered. I'm curious what some good RP archetypes and what good mechanical archetypes people can come up with regarding the Alchemist.

Some I have come up with:

Roles:
- (Mad) Scientist
- (Holistic) Doctor
- Traveling Salesmen
- Dr. Moroe / Transmogrifier
- Philosopher
- Tinkerer
- (Military) Demolitionist

Rolls:
- Bomber (damage-focused)
- Smoker
- Melee
- Summoner
- Tank

Sub-Rolls:
Optional add-ons that require minimal investment and can't be the focus of the build.
- Healer
- Party Buffer
- Party Trapfinder / Rogue
- Poisoner
