Elixir of Bloodlust should be nerfed

[vitorbauml2]

I'm playing on tactician, and i can use bloodlust elixirs everyday (effect on till a long rest) on my DPS focused character. Any battle is trivialized when i can last hit and earn more atacks. More often them not, my DPS kills every enemy in the first turn (alone), and in harder battles on the second turn.

It gets worse, the bloodlust elixir can be used together with haste potions and spells, turning my gloomstalker,rogue in a DPS machine with something like 10 atacks or more on a turn.

My pitch is simple, turn the Elixir of Bloodlust into a Potion of Bloodlust with 10 turns duration.
I hope that would make the Bloodlust efect rare enough to players use just on harder battles, and losing a bonus action inside combat.

Another alternative could be not stacking with haste effects.

Potions do in fact splash, it might be working right for you due to whatever reason but it works 100% of the time for me. Why do you think EVERY tips/tricks/beginners guide mentions it?

If you don't think potions splash, put one on the ground, stand 3 characters as close as you can get them around it, and shoot it with a bow and arrow.

Then one of us is bugged, and weighing personal experience against "trust me bro" I'm inclined to think it's you guys. Splash effects on non-grenades sounds like an exploit anyway.

Incidentally, did you know that you can toss a healing potion at nothing and it'll leave a puddle of healing vapors where it lands, as a terrain effect? And that the terrain will vanish the moment someone walks on it and gets healed? Same idea as your "Splash" effects, I'd say.

I just tested it. Go into turn based mode, get as close as you can, and throw a potion.

Healing and haste both worked. It is definitely buggy because sometimes it hits all 4 in the splash zone, sometimes it only hits one person, sometimes it hits three, it's kind of random but they 100% do splash.

Try it for yourself it's not like it's hard. Aim at the ground in the middle of the group.

Anything with liquid in it, can splash in the game. Ive been using bottles of water, to freeze and electrify the ground just tossing them.
Same about poisons, (since the character Im currently using doesnt even use a weapon so cant apply poisons to his weapons) just throwing poisons can acheive same thing, though it can be finicky.

Potions DO splash. If you don't hit anyone they even leave a puddle until someone walks into it.

I have tried about 30 times at this point and have had a 0% success rate so if it is just a buggy system relying on luck then that's pretty silly.

After seeing so many people adamant in this thread that it works I tried again and ♥♥♥♥ me sideways it actually works. So why did it not work the first time I tried it? I am not doing anything different.


And also since this works, why does throwing potions at people just not work a lot of the time to the point where every time I had tried a non-healing potion it just never worked.

You are bugged, check any tips/tricks/beginners guide and ALL of them will have some form of tip showing PROOF the potion splash works. Don't discount me when I've seen and experienced said proof.

Leave my Gloomstalker/Assassin's candy alone. Don't eat (use) it if you don't like it.

Exactly that.

Here's a novel idea: Don't use the damned thing and let the rest of us play how we want to play.

Consumables are for the weak.

Inconsistent seems to be the word for it. I just spent the last 4 hours in game trying to get a splash to happen on more than one person under every condition I could think of. In combat, out of combat, manually moving individual companions so close to one another they were clipping into eachother, on all manner of terrain effects and with every potion I have access to at the end of Act 1. Struck out on each and every attempt, it does NOT happen as described EVER. One potion = one recipient.

Fantastic it seems to work for the majority though. I'll admit I may be wrong and apologize for being a jerk-off. I suppose I'm simply irredeemably bugged on that front. Not a big deal, I'm drowning in a variety of potions and poisons by mid-game anyway.

Bloodlust and haste is insanely strong.
