I to really like the new artificer, it's a marked improvement in just core design and function over the o5e one. I can only imagine the ideas the designers have for future subclasses. I for one am happy that D&D finally has an alchemical bomber again. I've seriously missed that archetype.
I'll give you noodohs that the capstone feature's automoton isn't as good as a level 20 Steel Defender, but having played the o5e Defender Artificer, that thing stole the show. Literally my character mostly sat on it's back while it tore through enemies like a buzz saw. It's a good thing there wasn't a ranger in the group or they'd have been second fiddle from day 1. The o5e Defender is the strongest pet in the game, by a huge margin.
