Do you use snakeblood passive?

Tasear · February 2018

Meaning did you put skill points into?

SquareSausage · February 2018

No.

Sixty5 · February 2018

Nah, it makes suicide pots less effective.

Waste of points.

Elsterchen · February 2018

I did use it to ensure maximal uptime of some set abilities with "When you take damage, you have a X% chance to..." during fights .

Its worth a try and can be fun. Downside is you loose one buff per potion ... and its just not my thing to constantly worry about potion uptime.

So, not yes nor no... but other.

What are these suicide pots you speak of and what purpose do they serve (other than just killing you?)

So you can respawn at keep and not have to run there in Cyro

The Ravage Health potions don't hurt you enough to do that, especially in Cyrodiil.

You got an awesome for that. Why don't you just do that the old way by jumping of a cliff or get nimbled down by whatever NPC is nearby ... or a combination of these?

Just interested, why not sell the reagents for suicide potions and do it the boring old way ... death free of charge, so to say?

Suicide pots are useful for dropping a scroll purposely when the fall isnt great enough to kill you on its own.

edit: Oh yeah ... I forgot, it used to proc Velidreth as well. Not sure it still does, but having veli proc reliably every 9 seconds really really was fun.

edit edit... I actually just wanted to add to my earlier post, sry for new post.

As long as you deal damage Veli will proc reliably every 9 seconds.

Yep, thats why i wanted to add that, because you may have set foot to cyrodiil already ... and as said: having veli proc reliably (i.e. while blocking, dodging or just simply running away from or towards a target player) can really be fun.

Giraffon · February 2018

It's a total waste of points, but I have enough of those that I do it anyway so I can see the skill line completed. How's that for OCD?

feyii · February 2018

For me this is the most useless passive in the game. When I create potions for actual use, they don't have negative effects. The ones I don't want to use, which might have negative effects, are only needed for alchemy crafting writs and for those I don't need such a passive either.

Edziu · February 2018

yeah this passive is waste + will block this perfect combo

Rex-Umbra · February 2018

Night blades have a "heal" which can use for suicide.

Mazbt · February 2018

Save the skill points. They should adjust that passive to buff poison effectiveness or something.

but same like with equilibrium...you have border with health where you wont be able to use it again to not killself by it as single thing unfortunately.....

Remind me not to come over for drinks at your place...

Jade1986 · February 2018

Why not, not like we dont have an absurd amount of skill points anyway, and it means you are able to make useful potions that would otherwise hurt you.

Aliyavana · February 2018

You can't pay me to use it

Even with my excess points, my character isn't dumb enough to ingest poison willingly so that passive is a waste

Just make a potion that doesn't harm you and save a flower.

Sometimes in Cyrodil you need to blood port, and often it can be hard to find something to kill you.

Pop a couple of equlibriums and chug a suicide pot, and hey presto, you've respawned somewhere useful

N00BxV1 · February 2018

Would be nice if they replaced Snake Blood with a Hireling since it's the only crafting skill line without one.

runagate · February 2018

You'd think it'd be more popular what with trollblood mitigating alchemical stat-draining poisons in pvp

Glurin · February 2018

The only real use I see it having is if you're extremely lazy about mixing your potions and don't care how effective they are.

notyuu · February 2018

I like my murder juice to actually do its job

but on a more rational note, the passive would only really have uses if there were ingredients which provided good and bad effects which were extremely hard, if not impossible to remove all together..with the current state of the system.. they are a joke at very most and a trivial annoyance to overcome at the very least

Rohaus · February 2018

They honestly need to rework potions with negative effects... here’s an idea... how about you get some crazy strong buff along with the negative buff...

A potion that increases the cost of abilities also gives 300 extra wpn damage... just a quick thought... you’d have to make something strong about a bad potion in order for anyone to want to use it.

Now there's a thought. Could even be as simple as if the potion comes with a negative effect, the positive effect is, I don't know, 20% stronger. Kind of reflects the idea that stronger drugs tend to come with nastier side effects.

GoodFella146 · February 2018

It should reduce the effectiveness of poisons against you, though they would have to make the duration of poisons longer to punish players without points in the passive then.

The thing is, my toons are not rich, and they dont farm. So it is actually pretty useful, so I have more options when making potions.
