SMNS and Mega INT Pots?

[EvilJoshy]

Hello all. When I started the game I wanted to lvl smn and because of that I took up alchemy when I picked a craft. I managed to get alchemy to 50 three lvls before my smn and even crafted my own erudites grimore of casting for my relic quest. Still working on getting 2 star recipes.

I like having spine and echo drops on me at all times just incase. I also carry some mega ethers for long fights and I have elixirs hot keyed as a panic button. Since I can craft them myself would it be worth bringing some mega pots of int and if so when would it be best to use them? I'd imagine it would be those moments when something needs to die like titan's heart ect. My FC just started doing coil runs and I still need to kill titan to get my first relic so are mega pots of <stat here> used often at end game? ty

I use them on Twintania, and then wherever else I feel like it.


Use them when you pop Raging Strikes+Contagion.

Remember, the INT pot won't do anything unless you re-apply the DoT after using it. So, it's easiest just to remember using it when you do RS+Contagion.

Kevee do you use raging strikes before you apply dots or after all dots and only on festers?

You have to apply any damage buff/debuff before you use your DoTs otherwise they will have no effect.

I always yell at our bard when he does Foe Req at weird times--It can provide virtually no benefit if they do it right after we apply DoTs.

Every time you RS, the objective is to get full DoTs+Contagion+2 festers in.


To put it plainly: DoTs take a snapshot of your stats, buffs, and debuffs, when they are applied to the target. These are applied throughout the whole duration.

thanks for explanation!

Cant you use these potions before you summon your egi to retain the buff?

No, Egi's get no benefit from potions or food.

How boring, then how do the Egi's damage get calculated? Does it just generally scale by levels if it is not tied to Int or any stats. I thought potion temporarily raised your (INT)Stat.

Egi's damage scales with our gear, but nothing else.

It's a buff that raises the stat, it doesn't technically raise it. It would be the same reason for pets getting no benefit from RS, or food. The buff applies to us, not the pet.
