HQ food bonus, but what about medicine?

[Zantetsuken]

I agree that Medicine effects wear too quickly right now, but I wouldn't go beyond 75sec duration for NQ and 90sec for HQ.

They should last long enough to pull off at least a few TP moves or Spells.


30 min is overkill though, you might as well just super-power all food bonuses - and there wouldn't be much of a point to food at all...

Still, I really do like the idea of balancing the bonuses with negative side-effects - you might be on to something there.

What if the cooldown on medicines was removed, and instead you gained an cumulative risk of being afflicted with a status ailment like poison, blind, gravity, paralyze, sleep, amnesia, weakness, or even 'brink of death' if you consumed too many medicines in a row?

It would be a fun place for players to balance risk/reward in difficult battles.

Well if you increase your duration I agree they should from a 1.0 stand point be reduced in potency. But you can then add a little potency back because of the introduction to side effects.

Perhaps 10 minutes. All I know is unless you macro it into a spell you dont really get to effectively use the potions and the difference is like 20 damage. So either super power the potency or just make it a more present average (longer) - that's my feeling at least.
