Even when you use them, they don't work half the time.
Why the hell should I even waste an inventory slot on this crap, SE?
I mean, it would really be nice to have a useful consumable for alchemists to make beside stat potions, and it would help ease the strain on healers cleansing status effects.
But no. They only work when it's nothing more than a minor nuisance that you could just as easily wait out.
