tell me, have you or have you not tried using pot consumables?

I am curious at least considering how strong are

They are very strong in both PvE and PvP. Early Death [Rite] Birds can be two-shot with Holy Water Pots to the head. And elemental ritual pots are basically two-shots on your average early-game hosts in PvP.

Single most used consumable other than boluses. I've fought against players using the Companion Jar talisman, paired with the Jar helmet, and it wreaks havoc on unsuspecting hosts.

Fire bombs in my first playthrough were extremely useful, but I come from playing the Dark Souls series where those items were already amazing.

I thought he was talking about edibles for a minute.

I used Volcano Pots a lot during my first playthrough. They're very powerful and only have one ingredient which is plentiful in the Mt.Gelmir area.

I have, and it ended poorly. When I woke up naked in jail I was very confused.

Well ♥♥♥♥, I'm only about an hour late.

Pots are pretty useful when you know in advance the weakness of the next big moron you are about to kill.
Also to cause negative status as rot . Sadly the rot pots are crafted with extremly rare mats (i know you can get faded erdleaf and Aeonian butterfly farming pests but even after multiple playthroughs i just have 60 toxic mushrooms.) but the rest are pretty easy to farm.

The bad? they dont scale at all. Im my current NG 6...or 7 i threw a giantsflame pot for the lulz to one of the goons before Margith and he laughed at my face.

Also not forget about the perfumes! except a few they are mainly defensive bonuses. One of them can be considered the old iron skin from Dark souls (massive damage reduction, infinite pose and superarmor but you barely can move.)

It really depends on the process of making the base THC mixture for the edible. For example, something like butter for brownies or cookies. Either way if you take enough you can become virtually non-functional. I passed out in a pizza restaurant bathroom once from a bunch of edibles hitting my system all at once after I ate a slice of pizza. Woke up to two dudes being like "hey man are you ok?". I was, in fact, not OK. Left immediately and went home.

Direct damage throwable pots are very strong in the early game, and remain useful in fringe cases as a way to exploit elemental vulnerabilities or trigger certain reactions (ex: fire pots will stun Miranda flowers out of their giant poison explosions). They are held back as pulling or finishing items by the time investment of mushroom and other component farming compared to the easily purchased knives.

Status pots are useful and worth the effort over the entire game. They allow non-status builds to cycle through poison, rot, sleep, and blood for a massive initial boost to performance in a fight, and because those ailments scale to enemy HP or provide other benefits, they don't fall off compared to the needed effort as you get into the lategame.
