Playing an artificer for the first time.

[Angry Bob]

Different DM and game from before. My adamantine body psiforged kineticist somehow ended up tanking for the rogue and the mounted ranger against an ogre that no one thought would last more than one round against the friendly neighborhood abomination. It's all good, though, they sold what was left of me for 10,000 gp. At levels 3-4.

So I decided to take time off from trying to do direct damage and focus on buffing/debuffing via infusions and various alchemical nastiness. I've got my guy built, I'm just wondering if there are any infusions that are really good and any that are really bad that I should keep in mind for the game tonight. My new character's at level three, in any case.

Any general tips for playing an artificer like this? Anyone who's played one like this run into any preventable problems?

Thanks in advance.

Just stock up on arbalesters and shoot everything to bits with your shouldermodded crossbows.

The returning weapon infusion works great with harpoons.
