I was just curious because I don’t usually interact with this type of system. Most of the time they just provide +2% lockpicking speed or something niche like that. You know stuff that only really matters on some builds for the highest difficulties.
But Potions of Speed, Elixir of the Colossus, and Elixir of Bloodlust are so damn good I started brewing them up anytime I got enough ingredients. It’s become almost as habitual as checking every barrel and box.
I was playing around with a deurgar crossbow poisoner build for a little bit. Honestly it’s not that bad, but you run into a lot of situations where what you’re fighting is resistant to poison. Still, I totally agree with potions of speed. You can really turn fights around with potions.
