Dungeons: Add Phoenix Down Drops

[XtremePrime]

I think there needs to be some way to educate players into owning/buying Phoenix Downs. Whenever the healer dies and I mention it most people seem confused or didn't know it even exists.
(I also wish it didn't share a recast time with healing potions, but that's just me)

I'm also confused why it shares a recast with healing potions.

That should not be the case.

As a Pilgrim's Traverse regular, I support this message. Also because I sometimes weave HP pots when I'm on a DPS and don't trust anyone.

I've always wanted to use HP potions with a lower cooldown than what we have. It seems silly in the endless dungeon series.

Frankly I never understood why healing potions needed a shared cooldown with stat boost potions in the first place.

Sharing one with PD makes sense, since they’re both doing the same thing, ‘heal yourself or heal someone else’, but making them shared with a potion that significantly (I think) increases your dps output just seems dumb. Like why even have them exist then lol; obviously everyone’s just gonna choose the dps one and forget the others exist (in most cases).

I kinda wish I had a reason to carry/use Super-Ethers lol, it’d be fun to be able to use them as a back-up for regaining MP in emergencies. But with the way the shared cooldowns work, even if I was going to bring potions into like normal raids (haven’t done savage in a long time lol), I’d obviously bring Gemdraught because I’d be humiliating myself otherwise lol (I don’t use them anyway cuz I’m lazy poor)

Honestly, phoenix down being usable only in such limited amount of instances and sharing cooldown with potions makes it pretty much useless

Whos going to use Potions in dungeons?? waste of money lol.

Healing Potions which can be kinda useful early for tanks are only 25s-60s cooldown anyway, which if you can survive for a while you can still get healer up.

I have Super-Ethers on my healer hotbars and use them somewhat regularly, mainly when I have to recover the party from multiple deaths or if I’m recovering from getting rezzed myself. They’re a level 70 craft made from Stormblood botany and mining ingredients, so they’re trivial to make in huge batches if you have level 70 BTN/MIN and level 80 ALC. If you want some, you can make them yourself or ask a crafter buddy to whip up a few hundred.

I do lol.



They're quite handy when I'm not the healer in said duties. They're like your pocket Second Wind. Personally, I get most use out of them to have an easier time performing wall pulls in ARR dungeons where healers tend to lag behind. Lv70 and beyond are usually reserved for DPSes.

I have almost 500 Ultra-potions in my inventory I got entirely from running PT, and they have absolutely saved my ass in a lot of recent lv100 content where the healer was asleep at the wheel and decided their DPSes with 20% HP didn't need topping up right before a raidwide etc.
