Do you use spell/weapon damage potions in nTrials and nonHM DLC vet dungeons ?

FatFred · November 2019

My dps is not good, compare to some mid-core players , but it's good enough for the contents mentioned in the headline, so i don't use expensive potions, i dont have money ...

Guyle · November 2019

If it aint vet, hm or needs me to pick up where other ppl are falling behind I dont use em. Im in a trade guild, mats are money.

Ofc I still outparse ppl using them in those situations, so I'm not sure what the question is here

Depends on circumstances

I like using essence of spell crit getting major sorc from my skills,

Cloudrest +3 and nss ill use them most other things i use trash pots other then the mentioned vet content.

First time through vma i used trash pots was horrible but would have been to expensive otherwise.

I don't use alchemy potions ,not necessary

Of course not. Trash pots all the way. I don't hit super high numbers, but my dps has been fine for doing speedrun, hardmode, and no-deaths at the same time in vet dlc dungeons.

Turelus · November 2019

I don't use alchemy potions ,not necessary

I just use trash white potions or crown potions from log in rewards to help sustain, but the extra damage is rarely needed.

I do, just want to max my dps

Guilty. I have enough gold to spend on such resources tho, so it doesn’t bother me.

Ysbriel · November 2019

The options on the poll are biased, It could had done well with a simple yes and no, but anyhow yes I use spell/weapons pots
since I craft them myself and I might only need to pop one once depending on how the healer is managing the orbs, Craglorn is full of LFG first timers and sometimes keeping up ones buffs helps a lot.

Don't use them unless its needed.

MartiniDaniels · November 2019

Depends on circumstances

I use trashpots in such cases. I have ton of mats to make proper pots, but really dps difference is very small (~2k at iron atro) if you have other sources for major brutality/major sorcery. In vDLC trials those 1-2k matter, so there I use best pots by default.

Artim_X · November 2019

I use spell crit pots that heal me and restore magicka, since major sorcery is already in my kit.

Austinseph1 · November 2019

Depends on circumstances

I build both of the major buffs into all of my classes without needing to use potions. I test that they can pull 35k dps on a 3 mil without sustain problems on blue food before taking them anywhere I have no problems clearing any and all content with them.

Sinolai · November 2019

Depends on circumstances

nTrials - no
Dungeons - no
DLC Dungeon HMs - Mostly no, unless we are doing speed-HM-Nodeath or the extra push of dps is absolutely necessary to complete it (was the case when SCP was a new thing but nowadays not required).

Depends on the group.

Starlock · November 2019

I’m not going to vote in the poll since I barely bother with this content, but I don’t use potions period except as an emergency crutch. Because that’s how potions are treated in ANY game - as a crutch you shouldn’t ever need.

FrancisCrawford · November 2019

I use crown pots while leveling. (Past tense, perhaps -- my 17th character hit Level 50 this morning.)

Beyond that, I generally use trash pots if I'm planning to chug them, or expensive pots if they're emergency-only. Sometimes I chug expensive pots in particularly tough content.

Expensive pots are often health/magicka/immovability. Immovability can be particularly important while rezzing.

Kiralyn2000 · November 2019

I don't use alchemy potions ,not necessary

The only potions I carry are crafted "healing + some useful abilities for this character" ones. Which I bascically only use for panic healing.

chrightt · November 2019

Depends on circumstances

Usually only when I’m trying to help a group of patient and determined newbies at trials/dungeons. I know they’re trying their best but you can’t expect everyone to be a top DPS machine so if I’m still trying to help them pass I got to carry some damage. Just got to triple the damage of the rest of your team combined you know?

IndianaJames7 · November 2019

I do, just want to max my dps

I use weapon power potions for everything, including overland and grabbing surveys lol

idk · November 2019

For normal trials it is a waste since it is far from needed. For vet DLC dungeons it really depends. If it is newer and we are figuring it out, yes, if we have it on farm I only use it on the more challenging dungeons.

In other words, easy stuff, and many DLC dungeons are easy, no.

azjuwelz · November 2019

Depends on circumstances

For overland I'll slot the stupid health potions trash mobs give.

For dungeons, trials, etc., I craft my own, usually a health + whatever I think will help (often stamina)

Same for poisons.

The only time I'd use a pure weapon damage potion would be if I'm VERY confident in the content and healer.

rumple9 · November 2019

I only ever use the free purple Tri stat pots that come from log in rewards and twitch drops

Raisin · November 2019

Not voting cause it seems the poll is for DDs only. :P
As heal I don't use them unless I feel it necessary. Necessary is usually for serious raids or serious achievement runs. I use white magicka pots if I happen to have them and go without if I don't.

bmnoble · November 2019

Depends on circumstances

If I am doing group content and the situation calls for me to use a potion for sustain or damage or whatever I use it, its as simple as that.

If I am on my own I am stingy with my potions and prefer to use skills.

OolongSnakeTea · November 2019

Depends on circumstances

I use trash pots for normal if grouped, or overland content (including WBs/dolmens/dragons/geysers, public dungeons)
Good pots in vet content.
Good pots if solo and it's a harder to solo normal (most DLC's)
Good pots in max level BG's.

TheNightflame · November 2019

I use them whenever I have them, I don't usually carry more than one "sustain" pot and don't like not sustaining

Ragnarock41 · November 2019

I do, just want to max my dps

For normal trials , I use alliance war weapon damage potions since FoO gives me weapon crit on one bar.

It doesn't matter if I lack the %10 crit on back bar since my dps is well above whats needed to clear that kind of content.

I only use expensive potions when I actually care enough to tryhard honestly. This also applies to PvP. Potions are a huge part of any builds potential.

Taleof2Cities · November 2019

I use the purple tri-regen trash pots from the daily rewards.

Just farm WBs while you wait in queue and you'll never have to worry about when/where you use spell damage pots because you'll have plenty of gold to buy as many as you could ever need.

I love dungeons but the queue always takes forever so I just started farming WBs and now I don't ever have to worry about gold. lol
