Death Prophet
* 
God's Strength allows Sven to take down Death Prophet quickly, reducing the damage dealt over time from 
Exorcism.
* 
Warcry's bonus armor and movement speed is very useful for Sven and his teammates against Exorcism, which deals physical damage.
Alchemist
* Heroes who struggle to fight back against Sven at any point in the game are at a severe disadvantage: 
Alchemist, 
Anti-Mage, 
Crystal Maiden.
Death Prophet
* Heroes that can kill Death Prophet with nukes can prevent her from using Exorcism to its full duration or using it at all: 
Lina, 
Lion, 
Puck, 
Morphling.
Alchemist
* Melee heroes that get kited easily have hard times dealing with Puck without any lockdowns, as Puck is one of the most mobile heroes. Heroes like 
Sven, 
Lifestealer, 
Ursa and Alchemist may have problems to get to Puck without proper initiation items. They also lack reliable lockdowns, as their disables are easily avoidable for Puck, or are just a soft disable.
Death Prophet
* Exorcism will continuously heal Abaddon under Borrowed Time, and cannot be turned off.
* {Ability ID:Spirit Siphon|Death Prophet} will continuously heal Abaddon under Borrowed Time, for a percentage of his maximum health.
Death Prophet
* 
Guardian Angel nullifies the physical damage from Exorcism during teamfights. And when upgraded with 
Aghanim's Scepter, it also prevents Death Prophet from pushing towers. However, Death Prophet can partially counter this issue with 
Eul's Scepter of Divinity, a common item on Death Prophet.
* 
Heavenly Grace dispels 
Silence.
Additional:
* Exorcism's damage is blocked by Guardian Angel.
* Heavenly Grace can dispel Silence allies if Omniknight is able to cast it.
Alchemist
* Chemical Rage will rarely save Alchemist against Ursa's 
Fury Swipes.
* 
Enrage allows Ursa to both be a threat to Alchemist and avoid his over time damage.
Alchemist
* Alchemist likes to farm fast and be ahead, unfortunately Lone Druid likes to do the same by taking towers.
* 
Acid Spray will never prove a threat to Lone Druid or his Spirit Bear.
* 
Chemical Rage may not prove so useful once Lone Druid procs entangled keeping him in place.
* 
Monkey King Bar is a very good choice on Lone Druid's Spirit Bear and it directly counters any potential 
Radiance from Alchemist.
* 
Assault Cuirass is another very good Spirit Bear item that further makes Alchemist vulnerable to physical damage, which is all Lone Druid does.
* Alchemist is not the kind of hero who wants to go on single target summon units, by the time he has killed the Spirit Bear his teammates might had already been slayed by his teammates. Not to mention Lone Druid can just resummon it, even if he is successful.
Alchemist
* Ember's magic damage build is able to burst down Alchemist due to his low strength gain and Alchemist's normal item pick up.
Death Prophet
* 
Duel is a great initiation to kill Death Prophet before she can cast Exorcism. Furthermore, Legion Commander often builds 
Blade Mail and can reflect Exorcism's damage to kill Death Prophet easily.
Alchemist
* 
Feast is good against high health strength heroes such as Alchemist.
* 
Rage allows Lifestealer to not be targetable by Unstable Concoction, possibly making Alchemist stun himself.
Alchemist
* Alchemist is a well-known Radiance carrier among other auras your illusions will benefit from. They also get the extra move speed and reduced base attack time from his Chemical Rage, and it's even better if you can catch him as his own rage is about to expire.
* Disruption will buy enough time for all allies to retreat when Alchemist starts to activate 
Unstable Concoction.
Alchemist
* 
Tidebringer will deal lots of damage to Alchemist before he builds physical survivability items.
* 
Torrent and 
X Marks the Spot can control Alchemist at all stages of the game before he has Black King Bar.
* 
Ghostship's rum buff will greatly reduce the Alchemist's damage output in teamfights including his Radiance.
Alchemist
* Skywrath Mage can easily harass Alchemist in the laning phase with multiple Arcane Bolts. Additionally, if Alchemist is in the process of throwing an Unstable Concoction, and has no way to dispel Ancient Seal, the self stun becomes an easy set up for Mystic Flare.
* Caution, however, as a decently farmed Alchemist with {Item ID:Radiance} and {Item ID:Manta Style} can easily send illusions to harass and force Skywrath Mage out.
Alchemist
* Alchemist's reliance on fast attack speed to do single-target damage makes him vulnerable to 
Static Link. It also goes through 
Black King Bar, which is a standard item on Alchemist.
* 
Eye of the Storm is great against high health strength heroes as it reduces their survivability to physical damage.
* Razor has early lane push to counter Acid Spray.
Death Prophet
* 
Shadowraze (Near), 
Shadowraze (Medium), and 
Shadowraze (Far) can hit hard in the early stages of the game, and due to Shadow Fiend's high attack damage, most of Death Prophet's last hits will be denied in the laning phase. Additionally, 
Requiem of Souls can deal massive damage or kill Death Prophet at the start of team fights in combination with Eul's Scepter of Divinity or 
Shadow Blade.
Alchemist
* 
Reaper's Scythe can kill Alchemist before Chemical Rage has the time to heal him.
* 
Ghost Shroud can prevent Alchemist from attacking Necrophos, as well as make him immune to Acid Spray and Unstable Concoction damage.
* 
Heartstopper Aura will do damage as long as Necrophos is alive based on health percentage, which is a problem for a strength hero such as Alchemist.
Alchemist
* 
Corrosive Haze followed by 
Slithereen Crush takes advantage of Alchemist's main weakness, being physical damage before he has the change to improve his surviability with items.
* 
Bash of the Deep will deal lots of damage during the laning phase.
Alchemist
* 
Untouchable greatly reduces Chemical Rage's attack speed advantage.
Death Prophet
* 
Doom can stop Death Prophet from casting spells, which makes her useless during team fights if she didn't cast Exorcism before the fight, and also nullifies healing from Exorcism and Spirit Syphon. Furthermore, Doom can use 
Scorched Earth to chase after her.
Alchemist
* Doom can disable Chemical Rage's increased healing, rendering Alchemist helpless against Doom.
* Attacks from 
Infernal Blade can deal serious damage to Alchemist as it deals damage based on the hero's maximum health.
Alchemist
* Doom's low armor makes him weak against Alchemist's high physical damage output.
Alchemist
* Visage can quickly kill heroes with low to medium base armor and no innate escape mechanism. Examples include Alchemist, Crystal Maiden and 
Zeus.
Alchemist
* 
Clinkz can use 
Burning Army in teamfights which will cause a problem for Alchemist.
Death Prophet
* Heroes that depend on disrupting fights with ability combos or big ultimate abilities are vulnerable to the long stun of Fiend's Grip: 
Disruptor, 
Death Prophet, 
Enigma, 
Faceless Void, 
Invoker, 
Lich, 
Magnus, 
Mars, 
Medusa, 
Outworld Destroyer, 
Phoenix, Puck, 
Queen of Pain, 
Shadow Fiend, 
Treant Protector, 
Underlord, 
Winter Wyvern, 
Witch Doctor, Zeus.
Death Prophet
* Heroes that can kill Death Prophet with nukes can prevent her from using Exorcism to its full duration or using it at all: Lina, Lion, Puck, Morphling.
Alchemist
* 
Viper can bully Alchemist out of mid lane quite easily, forcing him to either retreat into jungle, or stay harassed in lane, and get very few last hits. Vipers break also completely disables 
Greevil's greed which prevents Alchemist to earn his amazing amounts of money.
Death Prophet
* 
Riki is another good hero to shutdown Death Prophet with 
Diffusal Blade as his core item. His 
Smoke Screen stops her from initiating and casting spells.
Death Prophet
* Heroes with strong team-fight abilities (especially ultimates) like 
Tidehunter, 
Brewmaster, Death Prophet, etc.
Death Prophet
* Heroes that can kill Death Prophet with nukes can prevent her from using Exorcism to its full duration or using it at all: Lina, Lion, Puck, Morphling.
Alchemist
* Heroes who rely on burst physical damage are affected by Lucky Shot's disarm: 
Terrorblade, Sven, Clinkz, 
Windranger, Alchemist, 
Dragon Knight, 
Legion Commander
Alchemist
* Heroes who rely on physical damage output to be effective will fare badly against Muerta's 
Pierce the Veil: 
Phantom Assassin, Terrorblade, 
Drow Ranger, Lifestealer, Anti-Mage, Alchemist, 
Lycan, Clinkz, 
Sniper.
Alchemist
* Axe can force Alchemist to attack him with 
Berserker's Call. High attack speed from Chemical Rage will cause 
Counter Helix to proc multiple times.
* This can get worse if axe has Blade Mail, which then returns all damage to Alchemist himself.
* Axe's abilities can pierce through Black King Bar, which is a common item for Alchemist.
* Berserker's Call grants Axe a huge bonus armor, which greatly counters Alchemist's physical damage for the most part.
Death Prophet
* Because Exorcism's damage is not reduce by damage block abilities or items, Death Prophet can be very good against heroes who rely on armor to survive: 
Axe, Terrorblade, Morphling, Dragon Knight
Alchemist
* 
Shadow Dance allows Slark to not be targeted by Unstable Concoction, making Alchemist stun himself and making himself vulnerable to the enemy.
* 
Dark Pact also allows him to just purge off the stun if timed correctly.
* 
Essence Shift will steal stats over long durations at a time should Alchemist lack the damage to kill Slark.
Death Prophet
* Heroes with silencing abilities can be particularly deadly when Slark is trying to escape: 
Silencer, Death Prophet, Puck, 
Doom.
Death Prophet
* Death Prophet has a high mana pool and due to her heavy reliance on her spells, she will be a prime target for 
Mana Void.
* Death Prophet has less mobility than Anti-Mage due to 
Blink.
Death Prophet
* In early to mid stage, Silence is also a great way to counter escape oriented heroes such as Anti-Mage, Queen of Pain, and Phantom Assassin to prevent them from escaping, provided that they don't have any basic dispels.
Alchemist
* Alchemist has very bad armor and does not build armor items for the large majority of his build, so Jingu Mastery and Wukong's Command can be very deadly.
* 
Desolator, 
Sange and Yasha or Diffusal Blade can all be purchased to increase your damage against Alchemist or just to keep your movement speed high enough to match him while Chemical Rage is active.
* Monkey King is an agility hero and scales with armor, so Acid Spray loses it's effectiveness later in the game.
Alchemist
* Heroes with wide AoE abilities will reveal Monkey King through Mischief: 
Necrophos, Phoenix, Alchemist, 
Earthshaker, 
Razor, 
Tinker, 
Leshrac, Queen of Pain
Death Prophet
* Silence will prevent Chen from activating 
Hand of God.
* 
Crypt Swarm and Exorcism can clear Chen's creeps and heavily damage Chen.
* 
Spirit Siphon heavily damages Chen and slows him, while healing Death Prophet.
Additional:
* Silence will prevent Chen from activating Hand of God.
* Crypt Swarm and Exorcism can clear Chen's creeps and heavily damage Chen.
* Spirit Siphon heavily damages Chen and slows him, while healing Death Prophet.
Alchemist
* Alchemist's Acid Spray can heavily damage Chen's creeps and disrupt his jungling.
* Alchemist builds items like Radiance and 
Battle Fury, allowing him to quickly clear Chen's creeps.
* Alchemist's Greevil's Greed will grant him more bonus gold as he kills Chen's creeps.
Death Prophet
* Silence (and mana burns) will be a persistent problem for Phoenix, as it is heavily reliant on its abilities whether defensively or offensively, so heroes like Death Prophet, 
Skywrath Mage, and even 
Nyx Assassin must be closely observed to prevent being shut down by these heroes.
* Hexes are a greater threat to Phoenix as they also disable items, preventing Phoenix from dispelling the debuff on its own.
Alchemist
* Chemical Rage kills Phoenix very quickly in 
Supernova.
Death Prophet
* Death Prophet is able to Silence Undying up to 6 seconds. Besides, due to Undying's high strength during a team fight, Spirit Siphon is a powerful ability against Undying thanks to the percentage health drain.
Alchemist
* Chemical Rage will take down 
Tombstone in no time.
Additional:
* With Greevil's Greed, Alchemist can farm Tombstone zombies and gain a significant gold advantage.
Alchemist
* Sprout is good for trapping melee carries with no escape abilities: Sven, Alchemist, Lifestealer etc.
Death Prophet
* Crypt Swarm helps clear waves of Treants.
* Silence prevents Nature's Prophet from using Sprout or Teleportation.
* Exorcism kills Treants with ease.
Additional:
* Crypt Swarm helps clear waves of Treants.
* Silence prevents Nature's Prophet from using Sprout or Teleportation.
* Exorcism kills Treants with ease.
Alchemist
* Acid Spray and Greevil's Greed will quickly destroy pushes with treants.
* Because of his poor movement speed,Alchemist can catch up and kill him with Chemical Rage.
Death Prophet
* Heroes who can continue dealing damage even while being stunned: 
Luna, Razor, Axe, 
Bristleback, Leshrac, Death Prophet, 
Jakiro.
Alchemist
* Heroes that can cancel Charge of Darkness: 
Ogre Magi, Earthshaker, Lion, 
Rubick, Lina, Luna, Jakiro, 
Dawnbreaker, Alchemist, Ogre Magi, Axe, 
Shadow Shaman, 
Naga Siren, Mars, 
Bane, 
Pudge, 
Clockwerk.
Death Prophet
* Exorcism's ghosts will automatically clear all Proximity Mines revealed when Death Prophet walks near them, provided that the ghosts do not have a specific target at that time.
* Death Prophet is a natural Eul's Scepter of Divinity carrier, meaning she can easily escape a Blast Off initiation.
Alchemist
* Magnus has very mediocre damage against Alchemist, because he can survive the stun duration of Reverse Polarity with Chemical Rage.
Alchemist
* Chemical Rage mitigates damage from 
Burning Spear.
Additional:
* Chemical Rage negates almost all damage from Burning Spears.
Death Prophet
* Because Timbersaw relies heavily on his spells to deal damage, Silence can easily disable him in a team fight.
* Exorcism's spirits do not count as regular attacks, and will not add stacks of 
Reactive Armor.
Death Prophet
* Kraken Shell neither dispels nor provides damage reduction against Spirit Siphon. This ability also drains health based on percentage damage, making Tidehunter's large healthpool a very appealing target. Furthermore, the health gained from the Siphon is independent from the amount of damage dealt, so Death Prophet will always heal a large amount of from Tidehunter's pool even if Tidehunter has magic reduction items or abilities on him, which makes her an untargetable enemy for you as this easily outweights any damage output you can provide.
* Exorcism is yet another ability from which Kraken Shell provides no useful protection, as the spirits completely ignore the damage block and are unaffected by the dispel. This ability also creates an unfriendly area where your blink will be constantly cancelled, reducing your ability to land a good Ravage.
* Ravage does not stop neither Spirit Siphon nor Exorcism, making the ability mostly ineffective against her. Additionally, Death Prophet usually builds Eul's Scepter of Divinity, which can be used to dodge the stun entirely.
Death Prophet
* Exorcism kills Primal Split's units very quickly.
Death Prophet
* Spirit Siphon and Exorcism can damage through his 
Resonant Pulse shields.
* Silence can prevent Void Spirit escape or contributing much in fights.
Death Prophet
* Death Prophet's Crypt Swarm and Spirit Siphon can repetively damage Earthshaker, preventing him from using 
Blink Dagger.
* Silence can be used to silence Earthshaker after he blinks in with Blink Dagger, preventing him from executing his combo.
* Spirits from Exorcism are completely invulnerable and cannot interact with anything at all, which will greatly weaken damage from 
Echo Slam. This can put Earthshaker in a serious disadvantage against Death Prophet.
Death Prophet
* Spirit Siphon exploits her naturally high HP to deal a good amount of DPS. She may break the link with Rebound, but Silence covers that problem.
* Marci's poor armor makes her vulnerable to Exorcism.
Death Prophet
* Spirit Siphon can deal some serious damage to Clockwerk while he is in 
Power Cogs while healing Death Prophet in process. Exorcism can also be used to take down Clockwerk faster while he is in Power Cogs.
* Death Prophet usually buys a 
Hurricane Pike or Eul's Scepter of Divinity which allows her to easily escape from Power Cogs or save her allies from Clockwerk.
* Silence can prevent Clockwerk from using his ablities during teamfight, especially since Clockwerk is an easy target for it while in Power Cogs.
Additional:
* Spirit Siphon can deal some serious damage to Clockwerk while he is in Power Cogs while healing Death Prophet in process. Exorcism can also be used to take down Clockwerk faster while he is in Power Cogs.
* Death Prophet usually buys a Hurricane Pike or Eul's Scepter of Divinity which allows her to easily escape from Power Cogs or save her allies from Clockwerk.
* Silence can prevent Clockwerk from using his ablities during teamfight, especially since Clockwerk is an easy target for it while in Power Cogs.
Death Prophet
* Death Prophet's Silence allows her to prevent Bounty Hunter from escaping with Shadow Walk.
* If Bounty Hunter cannot escape with Shadow Walk while affected by Silence, she will be able to burst him down with Crypt Swarm and Spirit Siphon.
Additional:
* Death Prophet's Silence allows her to prevent Bounty Hunter from escaping with Shadow Walk.
* If Bounty Hunter cannot escape with Shadow Walk while affected by Silence, she will be able to burst him down with Crypt Swarm and Spirit Siphon.
Alchemist
* Alchemist can easily farm Spiderlings with Acid Spray and Greevil's Greed.
* Alchemist's Chemical Rage nullifies Broodmother's 
Insatiable Hunger
Additional:
* Greevil's Greed makes Broodmother’s spiderlings far more valuable to Alchemist making it important that he does farm them as opposed to other heroes where the spider's bounties are negligible.
* Acid Spray makes it difficult to attack Alchemist in lane without losing some spiderlings to the damage over time, potentially giving him farm he wouldn't have otherwise.
Death Prophet
* Death Prophet is a terrible Flaming Lasso target if Exorcism has already been used, since it can still damage Batrider and his teammates, but if Batrider manages to Lasso her before that, it can lead to Death Prophet being quickly burst down.
Alchemist
* Heroes that require burst damage to kill will be difficult for Phantom Lancer to take down: 
Timbersaw, Axe, Bristleback, Alchemist and Underlord
Death Prophet
* Because Exorcism's damage is not reduce by damage block abilities or items, Death Prophet can be very good against heroes who rely on armor to survive: Axe, Terrorblade, Morphling, Dragon Knight
Death Prophet
* Because Exorcism's damage is not reduce by damage block abilities or items, Death Prophet can be very good against heroes who rely on armor to survive: Axe, Terrorblade, Morphling, Dragon Knight
Death Prophet
* Spirit Siphon does a lot of magical damage, especially in the early game. This allows her to demolish low health heroes such as Zeus, 
Pugna, especially when combined with her other spells.
Alchemist
* He can quickly take out heroes with low armor (
Tiny) with his great physical damage.
Death Prophet
* In the same vein, heroes with silences — especially with the AoE ones like Death Prophet's Silence — can also prevent Crystal Maiden from being able to impact a fight.
Death Prophet
* Any heroes with stuns or silences: Death Prophet, Lion, Shadow Shaman, Skywrath Mage
Death Prophet
* In early to mid stage, Silence is also a great way to counter escape oriented heroes such as Anti-Mage, Queen of Pain, and Phantom Assassin to prevent them from escaping, provided that they don't have any basic dispels.
Additional:
* Silence will prevent Queen of Pain from using Blink to escape or chase.
* If Queen of Pain uses Blink to close the gap to Death Prophet, Death Prophet will be in range for Spirit Siphon and typically gain an advantage over Queen of Pain.
Death Prophet
* Heroes with good counter-push abilities to clear creep waves can hinder Jakiro's early pushing ability: Death Prophet, Sniper, Tinker, Windranger.
Death Prophet
* Heroes who can silence will shut down Dark Willow entirely: Death Prophet, Silencer, Drow Ranger
Death Prophet
* Heroes that are hard to gank: Axe, Death Prophet, 
Phantom Lancer, 
Slark, 
Centaur Warrunner, Bristleback, Medusa, Mars.
Death Prophet
* Windranger heavily relies on her abilities for any form of tactical advantage and damage. A well timed silence will make her useless: Puck,Silencer, Death Prophet, Skywrath Mage, Drow Ranger, 
Earth Spirit, 
Grimstroke.
Death Prophet
* In early to mid stage, Silence is also a great way to counter escape oriented heroes such as Anti-Mage, Queen of Pain, and Phantom Assassin to prevent them from escaping, provided that they don't have any basic dispels.
Death Prophet
* Because all of Warlock's abilities are active abilities, silences can make his impact in fights minimal. Be cautious of heroes that carry silences like Death Prophet, Puck, and the aforementioned Silencer.
Death Prophet
* Heroes who can clear the waves of Enigma's Eidolons: Lina, Luna, Dawnbreaker, Jakiro, Shadow Shaman, Death Prophet, 
Keeper of the Light, Invoker, Leshrac, Puck.
Death Prophet
* Any heroes with silences can negate the majority of Outworld Destroyer's damage output: Death Prophet, 
Night Stalker, Drow Ranger, Doom .
Death Prophet
* Lich is heavily reliant on his abilities to contribute to team fights, so be wary of enemies that can Silence: 
Bloodseeker, Death Prophet, Silencer, Drow Ranger, Skywrath Mage.
Death Prophet
* With 4 active abilities, Shadow Shaman is weak against silencing foes such as Silencer, Drow Ranger and Death Prophet.
Death Prophet
* Heroes that can punish aggressive heroes, such as: Leshrac, 
Shadow Demon, Pugna, Death Prophet.
Alchemist
* Heroes who are entirely reliant on dealing physical damage and/or have very little to no area-of-effect abilities will make Underlord tickle and will have no effect against him thanks to his 
Atrophy Aura, and will also be unable to ambush Underlord and his team if Underlord chooses to use 
Fiend's Gate to get to a designated point of the map: Phantom Assassin, Terrorblade, 
Troll Warlord, Drow Ranger, Phantom Lancer, 
Chaos Knight, Sven, 
Wraith King, 
Bounty Hunter, Alchemist, 
Templar Assassin, Nyx Assassin, Bane.
Death Prophet
* Heroes with strong area-of-effect damaging and/or disabling abilities will be able to intercept Underlord and his team when they exit from Fiend's Gate: Luna's Aghanim's Scepter upgraded

Death Prophet
* Heroes that can kill Death Prophet with nukes can prevent her from using Exorcism to its full duration or using it at all: Lina, Lion, Puck, Morphling.
Death Prophet
* While Morphling can burst her down with 
Adaptive Strike (Agility), Death Prophet does have tools to disrupt him. A Morphling affected by Silence makes it unable to use 
Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) to increase its health pool or use 
Waveform to escape.
Alchemist
* 
Quas-
Exort Invoker can win the mid lane easily against Alchemist because Quas regeneration will nullify Acid Spray's damage over time and Exort damage bonus will allow Invoker to out last hit Alchemist.
Death Prophet
* Quas-Exort Invoker is also a good matchup due to the fact he has no 
Wex to run faster due to the movement impairment on his stealth. The 
Forge Spirit and 
Cold Snap combo doesn't harm her as well since you can drain Invoker's HP with Spirit Siphon which forces him to retreat.
* Silence also prevents Invoker from using 
Invoke or casting his main spells temporarily. There is no way Invoker can block it unless he has Eul's Scepter of Divinity to cyclone himself or has help from allies.
Alchemist
* Heroes who are melee but cannot fight back against Eclipse will really struggle with Luna: Monkey King, Alchemist, Timbersaw.
Death Prophet
* A couple of long-range heroes with excellent laning like 
Mirana, Lina, Necrophos, Death Prophet. The key to success is sticking together and attacking Luna whenever she enters the range, without even giving Luna a chance to retaliate. Multiple long-range heroes is a reason to pick another hero.
Alchemist
* Pugna's 
Decrepify makes sure that either Alchemist is unable to hit anyone while also being slowed and susceptible to magical damage, or can protect an ally from physical attacks. Besides, Pugna can push early on, when Alchemist is not strong enough to repel it, so by the time Alchemist comes online, he might be forced to sit in base.
Death Prophet
* Spirit Siphon does a lot of magical damage, especially in the early game. This allows her to demolish low health heroes such as Zeus, Pugna, especially when combined with her other spells.
Death Prophet
* Ice Blast prevents Death Prophet from gaining health from
Spirit Siphon and 
Exorcism.
Ice Blast prevents Death Prophet from gaining health from Spirit Siphon and Exorcism.
Additional:
*
* However, there is a way for Death Prophet to counter Ice Blast: Since Death Prophet is not healed until the spirits are returned to her. She can attempt to outrun her spirits to delay their return until Ice Blast duration runs out.
Alchemist
*
Ice Blast cancels out Chemical Rage's rapid health regeneration. It can also take advantage of Alchemist's 
Armlet of Mordiggian toggling, as it will make HP drain insanely fast, essentially killing the bearer in no time.
Chemical Rage, which Alchemist greatly relies on to stay alive in battle.
Armlet of Mordiggian which can be deadly during Ice Blast.
Additional:
* Ice Blast nullifies the health regeneration granted by
* Alchemist tends to build
