Best potion for build
TonyDemonLord
✭✭✭
I’m trying to find the best potion for my build and I was hoping for some suggestions. The preferred potion I wanted was restore health, restore magicka, and lingering health, but I just can’t find a combination that has those three effects. I already have major sorcerery from critical surge and major prophecy permanently so I don’t need those buffs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my character build

Recapitated✭✭✭✭What is this build for? You might not need the mag return with b4b but have you considered ele drain instead of inner light so you get major prophecy from potions instead?0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Your abilities already cover so many buffs that to have something like a spell damage or spell critical potion is just a waste. I'd honestly look into getting some tri-restore potions to keep your health, magicka, and stamina up in PVP, and maybe some health/magicka potions for PVE. Lingering health isn't needed since you already have so much crit the healing from Critical Surge covers all your needs. Maximizing the Major Fortitude, Major Endurance (For PVP), and Major Intellect durations are what you truly want.Edited by Vevvev on October 2, 2020 2:05AMPC NA - Ceyanna Ashton - Breton Vampire MagDK1 -

✭✭✭✭You may want to review your CP. You're not respecting jump points so you have a lot of wasted investment.
I was playing around with a similar build, just toying with an idea in the build editor, have a look at this and take what you need/like from it (build would just use the standard essence of spell power pots):

TonyDemonLord✭✭✭@mairwen85 Our builds are actually very similar, but why aren’t you using critical surge? It’s the sorcerer’s best ability. I’m going to copy your cp allocation because it is better. I’m build I made is for Solo PVE, so are you all recommending I use tri restore potions?Xbox NA0

Because of the cost (3.5K vs just under 2K which only creeps up with vamp stage), mages guild passive that increases total mag, and it means we can use the common pots which are widely available as alliance draught or from guild stores if we lack the ingredients to brew. It also means we dont have to pre-buff and cyclically apply every 30s, but can include the damage from entropy in the rotation.
If you're looking for a solo oriented build of the same, then replace backbar inferno with shock for off-balance, and swap out entropy for crit surge, naturally, but then you'll only need to brew pots with intellect, or go for tri-pots.
Like I said, take what you need/want/like from it. My build was conceptualised more for group play, so it's only sensible you'd have to tweak it for solo

nesakinter✭✭✭✭Honestly speaking, using tri-pots as a staple and using immovable, lingering and detect pots as situational options almost always feels like the best way to go regardless of the class or build.2 -

✭✭✭✭@TonyDemonLord , as a side note, this alchemy guide is better as you can select the effects you want and it will produce the recipes, but more importantly, it will remove effects from the selectable options that can't exist in combination with those you've already selected.

TonyDemonLord✭✭✭@mairwen85 thanks, that alchemy guide is a billion times better then the other one. It’s just a bit outdated, it doesn’t include a couple of ingredients and the durations and resource numbers are off. I decided I’m going to go with tri-pots because they best fit my build.Xbox NA0
