Are potions still bugged where you take more damage when using them?

To my knowledge they still are.

Who was the first to confirm this and when did they test it? I’ve very vague memories of reading bugged dungeon potions on the forums.

You have vague memories because it was so long ago that this was reported. Of course, nothing has been done LOL.

Wethospu.6437:

Are you guys sure about Aetherblade? At least on TA I tested them for every possible enemy type.

I would still like to get confirmation about this. I have awkward feeling that way too much guessing was used. Hopefully I’m wrong.

Target.6379:

And is inflicting perma weakness worth losing 10% DPS?

Yes 15 charss

I’ve changed it for the moment, till i double check. Also updates Molten as they are Day, not night.

And as for the Scale Venom, sorry god of dungeons. How dare I blaspheme .

Skale Venom is wonderful. Weakness2gud. I wonder whatever happened to my offhand Mace….

There seems to be no potion for slaying icebroods. But who runs HotW p3 anyways?

That’s kind of a kitten thing to say. You asked a question and I answered it. Perhaps in the 40’s skale venom isn’t really better than potions, but I found in the 60’s and 70’s having perma weakness perma protection was the difference between life and death.

Or perhaps it is best even in the 40’s and still currently best. I’m pretty sure that this is a subjective question rather than anything which could be decided black and white.

Since the 60’s and 70’s aren’t accessible anymore what used to be good isn’t as relevant as what currently is the best.

It is a really good potion for lvl 40’s, boss like Mossman/legendary archdiviner have strong fast auto attack, even with aegis you will end up dodging alot and still getting hit, while you can survive, being able to tank 2-3 hits help maintaining the DPS. It’s good for any boss with a fast auto attack that does considerable damage.

I.E. At Lvl 49, mossman will most likely one hit me on my guardian with 12k HP, but will only hit me for 3-4k if I keep protection up with weakness, which mean we can stay in place with wall and just keep the DPS up.

Oops, I feel completely confused now for not checking on “brood” but on “icebrood”. Thanks for clarifying this! :-)

D is for Dodge.

Check under controls on your in game options. Some people have it set as V, others use double press on a directional key.

Whats up with your condescending attitude?

Attitude? This is my normal demeanure?

Maybe it’s lost in translation.

I’ll rephrase, “what’s up with the sarcastic comments?”

We better watch out. Might get the post closed for going off topic.

Hey guys, I’ll be updating this once ive tested out the new potions! Hopefully Anet might let them work in Fractals!…
Let’s not hold our breath. I’ll also see if this potion is broken just like all the others……

Any info?

Wethospu.6437:

Any info?

Sorry been away for a while. Yeah all updated and tested.

Any news on mossman?

Target.6379:

We tried Ice Brood, Svanir, Nightmare and none of them work, so looks like nothing works against him. Skale Venom it is then :P

Surely not skale venom! Does that mean I must agree with Nike!!????! Neeeeevvveeeerrrrrr!!

Thanks for the doing all the work to test this stuff! Do you (or anyone else) know if scarlet potions work everywhere nightmare and dredge potions work? My guess is yes, which would mean they could also be used in TA and (most) SE, but I haven’t tested it. (I know TA enemies counted for toxic alliance slaying achievements, but haven’t tested the potions themselves.)

Scarlet potions work against Krait (not tested), Nightmare Court, Molten and Aetherblade.

They may also work against inquest, flame legion and dredge. Someone should test. :P

All of Scarlet’s forces are in their own families separate from the parent races.

I’m guessing this is also why they can share loot tables.

I figure scarlet potions at least work on the 2 molten and 2 aether fracs. If someone could test for everything they work on that would be great!

Bumping for great justice. Also, could this thread be sticky’d?

might be common knowledge but i actually stumbled on skale venom applying weakness and vuln on self just now. im pretty sure this happens on any projectile that bounces back to yourself, ive been able to reproduce this on mes staff 1 and guard focus 4. ive seen it happen on ele during mightstacking as well, probably from phoenix.
has this always been this way?

Would make sense if the skale venom is applied on the projectile. If you get hit by that you’re going to get weakness and vuln ofc. If it wasn’t always this way I’d even go as far and say that it’s intended.

Rag.3258:

Probably. I’m pretty sure that’s how other reflected projectiles work, anyway (like mes pistol 5 and mes scepter autoattack clones).

Updated for ideal dual sigil use and for potions, I even bowed down to the idea of Skale venom.

p.s let me know if people think anything is wrong or could be better!

Target.6379:

Sigils.

Dungeons.
HoTW :
6)P2 – Sigil of Wrath/Force (Most beneficial overall)

Ice Brood slaying should be more beneficial, as far as i know all bossos except Andal the Thug are ice brood.

Ok, I was sure they were Svanir. I’ll have to retest

I’m not sure about the last boss, but i just tested the first 3. They all seemed to be ice brood but i could have done some mistakes. How do you test the potions to get a reliable result?

Yeah you’re right! I do naked no traits no might auto attack chain on axe and only use results with no crits

Is this meant to be funny? I don’t understand

Don’t forget this if you test something!

No. Is an honest question. I am from Spain, and even with the word reference, I am not sure wether you find Skale venom useful or not.

Right…Well in that case. Some people say its the next best thing if you don’t want to use Master Maintenance oils.
