Rework the consumables

[pretorian]

At least the grindstones and abrasives. LoP consumables evoke that classic thought that every gamer has - “but I might need it later”. It makes you put off using your consumables in case an even bigger threat is around the corner.

IMO, the weapon buffs last too short. The grindstones are one use only, and in a hectic boss fight, you might not even have time to make the most of it. I would suggest to make them weaker, but last longer. Perhaps even letting the grindstones recharge like fable arts or empty pulse cells.

I often find my self not using weapon buffs because I really feel it’s not that worth it with the short duration they have.

I think the grindstones work fine. Just one is enough to apply the ailment and do massively more damage for a short amount of time. It's just a little bonus, not your entire strategy. Granted, I wouldn't complain if they recharged similar to fable arts, I think that'd be a cool change. Maybe specifically perfect guards could recharge them. Something like 3% per perfect guard and 15% for perfect guarding a fury attack.

You can Spec 2 Charges of the Grindstone. It's fine. Wishstone system was just bad imo. Maybe it improves in NG+ but I was never going to put points in it. The whole system was too slow and limited.

Its very balanced imo. grindstones (especially perfect guard grindstone) is actually OP. Throwables are very very strong too. I think if anything they need a bit of a nerf but overall I think they are fine.
