Best detection potions?

Bam_Bam

My stamblade needs some sexy detection pots. The combos for stam builds looks a bit weak though. For example I can only find a detect and increase weap crit. I would LOVE detect + increase crit + increase damage but there simply aren't any There's a magica version - detect + spell crit + spell damage, so it seem a bit harsh not having a stam version.

So what detect combos do you run on your stam builds?

Detection + Immovable + Max Stam/stam regen is my favorite potion for fighting other nightblades. It's only one I would use when already in combat, though, as it's got expensive ingredients (though you could certainly pop it when moving away from your group to res a player, especially if they got ganked).

Outside combat (like when stalking/keeping an eye on enemy players lurking around keeps), I go with the super simple one with the longest duration I can make.

There are none. Detect+immovable is best detect potion, it comes with 3rd effect of magicka which is ok I guess.

Also, not to get confused by what @wolfwraith37 said, all max lvl detect pots have same duration

There is one combination that squeezes out a little more time. Something like 15 secs vs 16. I'd have to look up the ingredients.

It's not the potion that gives more time it's a passive in the alchemy tree that gives the user more time I believe it's medicinal use passive

If you use 3 regents with detect attribute, you get max length. They changed one of the regents a few updates back, making triple detect possible.

Yes, that also effects the time, but that's not what I'm talking about.

(Also, OP, get that passive, it's great.)

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. I didn't realize this was a fairly new change, though. The downside to this potion is that is has no secondary effects. But it's a great trash pot for trying to find NBs hiding in your keeps, for example.

As an NB myself, the idea for this is to squeeze out as much detect time as possible so that I can Mark the NB. Most NBs don't run Purge which means you can wait until your potion cooldown is up before engaging as long as you don't let Mark run out. It isn't good for anything else, though.
