    Potions aren't worth it. Please fix?

    A 15 second stat bonus is not worth a 5 minute cooldown.
    An endgame ether that gives you enough mana for one cure or half a rez is not worth a 5 minute cooldown.
    An endgame potion that restores one hit of HP is not worth a five minute cooldown.
    In fact the only potions that are arguably worth anything are the debuff cleanse potions, and then only a select few.
    I'm sure this has been said before. When will this be addressed?
    I understand the mechanics behind healing/mana make restoration potions redundant, but it feels no thoughts have been given to making consumables worth using.

    I don't understand the need for any cool down at all. If there wasn't one, potions might be worth more than 1 Gil each. I mean, I can drink a beer and 10 seconds later crack open a new one. No GCD there.

    While I would expect a lalafell with the name "Fizzle Dizzle" to be able to hold their liquor, I'd expect that in reality potions taste all sorts of nasty. Heck, X-Potions are basically a cold brewed tea made from winter mistletoe and a parasitic Vampire Plant (Which I'd imagine is like a spicy mint flavor with a little dirt mixed in for character). Not to mention that you're chugging what looks to be a whole liter of the stuff which is just plain nasty.

    CD is so high probably cause SE doesn't want potions to replace healers.

    They could keep the CD the same but increase the effects to make them somewhat worthwhile. Or, for buff potions, they could even decrease the amount of stats they give, but extend the duration to make them worth it.

    If a max level mana potion restored 1/4 of my mana, I'd be satisfied with a 5 minute cooldown. Same for Hp potions. It makes a noticeable difference, but not enough to single-handedly save a raid.

    Someone doesn't do any serious progression content. (´・ω・`)

    Potions are fine. They're not really needed as anything more than an extra supplement when you need to push as hard as physically possible.
