Speed potions OP
With a speed potion and my fighter build I can get 9 attacks in the first round and 4-5 each round after that.

4 from class features + speed buff, then action surge = another 4 plus the gwm followup on crit/kill.

Unfortunately I used up a ton of them already to breeze my way through several hard fights. :p

you can craft them or even cast them

I crafted all of them I could, at least for now. I'm short on balsam powders (I think it was) but I'm always on the look out for more ingredients in all the shops/traders.

Not sure how you cast it though? Is it a class spell? Wizard or something? I don't have a wizard for my party.

Haste spell.

It's a third level spell so it's available when you reach level 5. It's an arcane spell so you have to be a wizard or a sorcerer, or have Gale learn it.

Lore Bard has it too.

A Lore Bard can also cast it at level 6 if you take it as one of your magical secrets
the only problem with the haste spell is if your wizard gets hit, he will (most likely) fail the concentration check, which causes your fighter to lose an entire turn.

This is a great strategy in table top where you haste the enemy BBEG and then break concentration, giving the BBEG lethargy with no save and proceed to beat him into oblivion.

Haste is actually really good if you can build a combo off it, otherwise its meh.

Dont' use them.

They shouldn't even be in the game to be honest. You don't need them to win fights. Even on tactician. The entire game economy is too forgiving in this game. Players are filthy rich at level 5.

Haste + boots of speed.
