I'm disappointed with Alchemy

[peaches]

When I first tried Garuda Extreme my friend who was tanking it told me the spike damage from wicked wheel was insane, as well as damage from reckoning and other unavoidable damage. So I made a few HQ what ever the best Wind Resistance potions are, he popped one and said he didn't notice any difference in damage. These potions add I believe 80 wind resistance on the dot, and it seemingly did nothing.

Potions. Are. Useless.

Maybe wicked wheel is physical damage and not magical?

I suppose it could be. But that would mean Slipstream is physical too. Which brings another annoying point to light - too many attacks aren't clear on their damage type. So many look magical but are physical, and the reverse.

Regardless, I don't think the amount of resistance we've been given access to is adequate enough to do anything. You'd be better off saving your potion CD to use a health potion.
