Well im trying to decide which one would be the most beneficial when im soloing gates. I have a Fiery Vaporizer MKIII Bomb so I was thinking of getting one besides fire. Anyone have any suggestions? I have a spark of life and the Voltech MK III Alchemer is on sale in the shop along with the MK II of Cyrotech.
Which Alchemer?

I was wondering about that because I could make it pretty easy given that I have the recipe.

Shock is very useful these
Shock is very useful these days. It actually does damage whenever the target is electricuted by the status ailment.
However fire is still useful as well.
Not to sure how useful freeze would be considering anything could break it in one hit. Except for some reason enemies can attack a frozen player and he'd still be frozen.
Shadowtech however doesn't seem too useful and Prismatech is in the same category considering it lost its ultra bonus vs Undead.
Alchimers at the moment are all about their status ailments they can inflict.
I really wish there was a Poison Alchimer though.

I have a Vile Striker for poison and a Fiery Vaporizer MK III for fire. So would you suggest I go storm? Or possibly just trade the firey vaporizer out for a Fire Alchemer?

Even before shock was buffed,
Even before shock was buffed, I loved using my Voltech alchemer. The only reasons I moved away from it were the slow speed, and the lack of upgrade options caused by material shortages.
Now that alchemers are enjoying a revival, this is a great gun for crowd control + elemental damage + continuous bonus damage. If you already have a fire bomb, keep that over the gun- bombs are much better for reliably inflicting status effects, and they hit more enemies at once. But there is no shock bomb, and the voltech alchemer will fill a great niche in your inventory.
(Also, standard disclaimer: "shock"-themed levels will probably render that aspect of your gun useless, so remember to diversify your equipment)

Well, currently only freeze
Well, currently only freeze have no bonus effects on elemental enemies.
Fire and shock gives hp recovery and quite a few buffs to some special enemy...

Yeah, do not unleash an Ash of Agni when you have an arena of Oilers...

The status effect Alchemers and Bombs can horrifically backfire against some of the slimes. Watch out.

The worst part is when you have your bomb pre-charged, and the oilers appear.
I can only imagine my knight running around, hands holding the bomb in the air, yelling "How do I turn this thing off?!"

I agree.
I agree with Cactuscat. It also goes with other weapons. Sneaky Oilers/Lichens that fuse are annoying when left untaken.

Necro??? whaaaat?

I'd go for the Voltech line personally. Given how much shock screws me over when they use it, it has to be at least a fraction as good against some monsters :)
