Tonics e.g. trigger weapon swap sigils and reset pet swap cd. These are some examples why they cannot be used in raids.
But don’t most sigils have an internal cooldown that is the length of the weapon swap? So even if you were to able mimic a weapon swap, it would have no effect because the sigil is on cooldown.
I’ve also never heard of tonics resetting pet swap cooldown, and who would want to do that anyways? Seems like a bad idea to even want to do that as you can swap pets as anyways.
I think it’s a shame that we can’t use any tonics in raids, especially the new Kodan Tonic. The current thought is that Anet is going to end up making more, and I think it’d be a mistake not to allow them to be useable in raids.
Is there a legit reason why tonics can’t be used in raids? Are there plans to allow use of combat tonics in raids? I’d really love to run around killing bosses as a bipedal polar bear.
Thoughts?
Overall, it’s only OK.
The story was very uninteresting and the last mission is just needlessly long, there’s really no reason to fight 3 mobs, RP walk, fight 3 more mobs, RP walk again, and fight 3 more mobs before the final boss, which is a real disaster. Brewing the elixir in the hot springs is very unclear and there’s no marker to tell you where to actually do it. Also, it’s a very bad idea to put a story guy in the path of an event that spawns a bunch of mobs and has a good chance of completely killing you.
The Nightmare fractal is amazing, I love it. This one and the chaos fractal are the best fractals to date. I was a bit disappointed that the Solid Ocean fractal didn’t get a revamp it so desperately needs, but that’s OK, it was more of a hope.
I love running around the new map, the hearts are boring but the mobs are fun to fight and the loot isn’t too bad either.
One thing I’d like to bring up is the Kodan Tonic. I LOOOOVEEE this thing. There are just a few issues I have with it.
1. Whenever you get downed you lose the transformation, it can be annoying to use it again if you get attacked by mobs you weren’t prepared for.
2. There no real dodge animation, I believe it shares animations with Male Norns, is it too much to ask for you to give it a Dodge animation, it’s hard to tell if I’ve dodged sometimes, especially on a thief.
3. It’s not useable in raids. I spend the majority of my time playing in raids, I’d like to be able to use it inside. Is there a reason why they aren’t allowed? If you’re serious about making more of these combat tonics, they should really be useable in raids.
Thank you for this. The rewards are not as good as Pre-HoT IMO. I refuse to do fractals now, because there’s no incentive to do them right now. This is the worst change they made with HoT and yet they haven’t said anything about it which is disheartening to say the least. I thought the dungeon reward nerf was going to funnel those rewards into fractals, but this doesn’t even seem to be the case.
Posting for my brother since he can not post until the issue is resolved.

Thank you for taking the time to look at this
