Armor pots and Armor buffs

Post#1 » Sun Apr 24, 2016 8:28 am

Hi, i am wondering if the armor pots and buffs actually work?
While taking any stat potion, you normally see the respective stats go up. (For example: use intel pot, and intel goes up the right amount)
I dont see this happening while using an armor pot, the Defensive stat Armor doesnt go up, neither when using an armor buff from the DoK. Am i missing something or is this the right behaviour?

Looks fine to me.

Armour pot doesn't stack with DoK/WP armour buff. Buffs don't stack, and potions grant a buff.

Ah, that is it, it doesnt stack. My bad, potion indeed grants the buff i see, and it replaces the DoK's armor buff. Thanks Lileldys, we will meet in combat again (Jackhammer)

I want to say that they are enchantments not buffs? But I'm not online and can't remember off the top of my head.

Buffs are all kinds of "enchantments" (removable), "blessings"(removable) or simply "buffs" (not removable).
Mythic made the engi/magus armor buff stackable in one of the last patches, for balancing reasons.

kinda sad since it devalues a lot of pots and therefore the apothecary profession, but it is how it is ^^

It also makes alot of classe abillities obsolete. I would very much like to see armor and ressist pots removed from the game replaced with initive and wounds pot.
Seperate Toughness, Wounds, Initive into defensive and Strength, Ballistics, Willpower and Intellegence into offensive. And have all buffs stack with potions.
