✭✭✭✭✭noIt's like bosmer stealth detection but without speed on roll-dodge in same pack. So no. Plz add speed to it. Or at least penetration.2 -
youninjabro✭✭noNope, I never make things with negative effects so there’s no point. Only time I use Negative Effects are my Suicide Potions.

✭✭✭✭✭I will if I ever create my alchemist character.
That said, they are low on my list of characters to spin up. Every time I try to create an alchemist in Elder Scrolls, the tedium and stupidity if potion mechanics annoy me. I don’t use potions in ESO as it is unless it is an emergency. Can’t stand them on the whole.5 -

then you're screwing yourself over big time, especially in endgame content.

If you are not in Hodor level and can afford to sacrifice few k of dps you may run magicka on trash pots in majority of vet trials just fine with entropy and inner fire on front bar. Suboptimal? Yes. But still your dps will be high enough.0 -

✭✭noCompletely useless stat. If you are making and using potions with a negative effect, you are doing something terribly wrong. It would be a valuable perk IF potions with negative effects had increased positive effects as a trade-off ("Kiss-curse" in ESO dev-speak :P), but sadly ESO alchemy doesn't have that kind of depth to it.5 -
Rohamad_Ali✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Yes . Ali also keeps 3 points in medicinal for medicinal reasons . Wearing trollking and downing a ravaging potion can have interesting effects without too .0 -
redspecter23✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭noIf there were more potions that had both negative effects and powerful positive effects as well, this passive would be extremely important. As it stands, every potion that is used right now is all positive with no negative effects. This is fine, but doesn't mix well if we're intended to craft up potions with potentially extra powerful positives with some negatives mixed in. If this ever becomes a thing, snakeblood turns into a must have passive overnight.1 -

Actually "trash" aka "dropped" pots do not have negative effects for snakeblood to work. They just give resource & regeneration.

You enjoy getting carried trought vet dlc? Are you the guy i got yesterday at moon hunter keep doing 10% of the damage, and dying with 30k hp?
Do you run inner fire as DPS? Interesting... is that your spammable?

He wasn't implying trash pots have negative effects. He was saying you don't need to use expensive spell/wep pots just to finish hard vet content, although by doing so your damage will be lower, it's still doable.2 -

The good news is that with Entropy being buffed you will now have access to Major Sorcery no matter what - no need for potions. IF you run stamina for some reason, you always had access to Major Brutality through several different skills. Players who use potions are folks with millions of gold to burn and are in groups that never wipe so that their potions aren't wasted.
Potion elitists don't represent the majority of the player base and as such their "potion requirement" is irrelevant. They like to argue that you lose DPS without a potion, but what they fail to realize is that you only need ~30k+ to clear endgame content - the folks requiring 90k+ dps are the players with fragile egos needing to feel important and relying on others to carry them because they suck at managing mechanics in a longer fight.“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”1 -

As unwieldly as this idea sounds, I kinda like it. Sounds like something a dedicated alchemist class should have though (like those alchemists in Murkmire).0 -

If they ever make the Unarmed "weapon" skill line, this should be on there.XB1 NA
Your nerf suggestion is dumb. Learn to counter other players instead of having the game rebuilt to your ability level.0 -
Square252✭✭✭yesWell, "use" is the wrong word. After competing most quests and collecting most shards i had enough skillpoints to satisfy my inner autist and skill the whole crafter lines (well, except the keen eye passives).
But since i also don't use any potions with side effects its ¯\_(ツ)_/¯0 -

It’s so cute you think everyone actually cares about whatever this “endgame” thing is. I create characters, not “builds.” I prioritize creativity, not cookie cutters.
Do not mistake this, however, for a dislike of cookies. Though I am really more of a scones type of person...3 -
Jaimeh✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭noNo, I've never used this passive. Since all potions I make have positive effects on self, the only way I could see it used is if I was trying to save up on certain alchemy mats, and use a combo with a reagent that also confers a negative effect, and so the passive skill would remove that.0 -
OG_Kaveman✭✭✭✭✭noMake the passive also reduce player poisons by 5/10/15%, then people will use it, if only for PvP.Edited by OG_Kaveman on August 27, 2019 11:24PM2 -

✭✭yesSimply because I don't make potions for others or sell any on guild stores, so when making stuff to use myself I like to have options to use cheaper reagents does not affect anyone else.0
