How would you improve the potions set-up?

swirve

I limit my use of potions to PvE and in that I use Spell Pots and Trash magic pots for DD and healerDD activities.

The range of potions is lacking in my opinion:

-> A higher magic restore pot, say 10k magic
-> A major beserk only pot (low run time)
-> True sorcery pot with both minor and major buffs
-> True intellect pot with both minor and major buffs
-> Inner element pot which gives a small buff to a particular element dmg type as well as a weakness to the other types... say 10:5:5

Etc...

I’d appreciate having the recipe available with one click after I make a potion the first time like in Skyrim, or like provisioning and housing items in ESO itself after reading one.

There's something wrong with potions?

altemriel

nice would be to have a potion that:

-restores health
- gives spell(weapon) damage
- gives spell (weapon) critical


we have potions that restore mag+spell dam+spell crit and stam+weap dam+weap crit, but I would swap the first bonus for restore health instead

Being able to bang out batches of 50 instead of 4.

I'd just like to be able to make as many as I'd like with the push of a button. I don't see the point of me sitting there pushing a button for 20 minutes.

Remove cost poisons from the game.

Hmm have you visited dark alchemy store that opened in coldharbor last week?

swirve

No. I have not visited the Dark Alchemy store, i dont have it on my map.

What does it have thats interesting? @Tasear

I would make it so that they didn't last as long as they do, they are too intrical to top end dps that if you don't have them and are too poor/don't have the time to farm that you are simply left behind. I miss the days when you could simply have a buff spam execute rotation and do decent dps, now you try that and you top out at 25-30k. Not nearly enough to be considered top end. I would also lower the importance of light/heavy attacks. They are boring and lack any fun.

There is an add-on for that.

Yea. People don't like their current state. Cause they are... balanced?

I'd get rid of all these ingredients that came straight from TES IV Oblivion's Cyrodiil and replace them with environmentally friendly variants for their local ecosystems. The botanists of Tamriel must be in despair at the sheer number of invasive species that the Three-Banners War has tracked across the continent.

But that would play merry hell with my inventory so that's not going to happen.
The current potions and poisons are fine. Yes, certain effects are limited, but in the TES games effects from potions were always limited. The only thing I would changed as others have said is the crafting process. I understand that 4 potions at a times gives me a lot of control of how many reagents I use, but good grief is crafting an exercise in button pushing. Admittedly, it always was in Oblivion and Skyrim, so I guess its just TES tradition?

Being able to do more batches per click is all I want.

I just want to make 200 potions in one go. Come on, ZOS, an add-on can do it, put it in the game already so us console plebs don't have to over-excercise our thumbs

I'd probably go with persistent items with depleting charges that you can restock at stores and alchemy stations. (Think Dark Souls' Estus or The Witcher 3's potion system.) Same with food, for that matter.
