Other than the transmutation "spells" what is the point of most of them?
If you can't see the value in eyebite, mutagen + form of the dragon for natural attack marathons or using transformation and still being able to "cast" spells then I'm not sure how to convince you.
Eyebite is ok but when u get it the save is not hard to make... others you brought up are transmutation spells
The attack of the clones extract is pretty interesting. Just stay somewhere away that's safe and send them on suicide missions to wear foes down for you.
EDIT: And why is transmuation a no-no? Transmutation is a significant chunk of the alchemist's extract list.
Non-trans extracts that are good:
Analyze Dweomer: Detect Magic/Identify dosn't work on everything. Just split the focus cost w/ the party, as the spell helps all of them figure out what the loot you found is.
Heal: No explanation needed.
Mislead: Situational, but can be very useful for being in one place while others think you're with them.
And...yeah.... At least 75% of the extracts listed are trans, so not sure what you're even looking for here. Just use Trans extracts. They're good!
I love the transmutation spells I just wanted to know if there was any reason to take anything other than those
