Guild Wars 2

Hi … i want to ask you if you dont know which is better potion for HotW. A lot of people say “use son of svanirs potion” and another half “use icebrood potions”. So im not really sure with this one.
Which is better for which path?

Ty all

I think they are both the same thing, actually. But I think the technical name is potion of svanir slaying.

Two different potions, actually. I think it might depend on the path. The bosses tend to be Svanir while the trash is often icebrood, so I’d consider Svanir potions better.

Interesting fact. Did not know that. I only use the undead potions and elemental,so you know.

If that’s the case I’d go for Svanir slaying for path 1 because the butcher and the boss on the staircase (I killed fathers and mothers, now I hunt their children!) are the two places that slow you down. For part 3 I would go for Icebrood slaying to help clear the wolves. For part 2 it’s a toss up as the long fights are a 50/50 split between Svanir and Icebrood, but I’d probably use son of Svanir slaying.

Be aware that you receive more damage when you use them.

Waiting for the “why not have both” pic.

If you play a squishy class its better to not use then.

It says -8% damage. Are the potions bugged?

Ahh thanks! Did not see that earlier. Seems like such a simple thing to fix, but I guess 6 weeks between updates and there still is no time to fix even the smallest of bugs.

Bug fix flow chart?

Will fixing it generate a stream of revenue?

Yes

• Fix it

No

• Shut it down

The more you know.

But enough time to “fix” berserk gear.

Thanks for the heads up. I feel a bit silly having used them all this time and not having noticed.

Me too :/
I’ve only discovered that thread recently, and probably that bug exists since the launch of the game.
