    Tank Consumables

    Hello all,

    I got alchemy lvled and wanted to make some pots for my PLD.

    However, the best heal potion available atm heals for 680 (X-potion HQ).
    This is barley 10% of my HP. The elixir is not much better either.

    Also, stat pots are good for other classes. However, they are imo not very useful as a tank.
    Vit pots only increase the max HP, it does not heal.

    I am already using food for my tank, but I cant find a decent pot to use.
    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    I made x-vits for myself and ended up never needing to use them. For the past few months, the only pots I've been using have been hq potent poisoning potions.

    VIT Xpot is useful to ensure you have more than enough HP to survive a hit. If for whatever reason I have to take a 7k without mitigation and I only have 7.5k max HP, popping a VIT xpot in advance can be beneficial. You get a temporarily better Lustrate out of it as well.

    It's not essential but it's like having Thrill of Battle in a bottle.

    Otherwise your only other med option is HQ STR Xpot.

    Thrill of Battle heals you, VIT potions do not. I would go with STR potions.

    Missing the point. Having more max HP increases survival threshold. That you need to fill it from another source isn't a BAD thing.

    You pop it early. Not 2s before the hit in question. Then you take the damage and the "top" of your HP vanishes. It's magic.

    The should add stronger HP potions, X-potion barley does anything even for non-tank classes.

    They could double the duration on vit pots and they still wouldn't be that great.

    Potions suck. But i may have found a semi-decent one.

    When I'm MT as Warrior and use Unchained+Berserk for increased aggro/damage, i get the Pacification effect after berserk wear off and i cant do any GCD skill.

    When that happens, I use a Potent Poisoning Potion HQ.
    It works even on 2nd coil bosses. It's a small DoT that lasts only 15 seconds, but it's better than doing nothing for 5 seconds.
