    It should be like the way in FFXI, buff potion have a timer like the medicine effect
    Status restore potion just works and you should be able to spam echo drop if the mob keeps on silencing you.

    I can see both side of the HP/MP recovery potion. It might be too OP if you can just non stop use them in battle, but it also gets annoying and expensive really fast.

    I almost always use a Mega potion of intelligence when I do a burst combo on blm. It adds a very nice amount of damage and the duration is enough to get off a second thundara. Vit and mnd are also damage modifiers for war and pld, respectively, so they aren't useless if you use them correctly.

    So yes, they are situational. Isn't that what they were designed for? As for potions/ethers, they are helpful while you are solo but elixirs are a lot better to carry around when you are doing end game content.

    I seem to remember a certain DRG friend of mine literally spamming Hi-Pots in FFXI on his R10 Sandy mission while I (RDM) nuked down the final mobs. Was epic. I think he chugged 30 of them in a 10 second window lol

    Potions kinda useless so far that I have to sell it, except elixirs.
    Why can't we spam potions like the offline versions? :?
    Found out yesterday doing "United We Stand" that even elixirs didn't really help much. ;D

    Can't really see where lowering the timers of Consumables is justified; seeing how the only place I use said potions is Aurum Vale on Silence from the slugs during Coincounter, even then; there are exceptions where I don't need the use of potions at all.

    I think that recast time should be splitted for "Healing Potion" (Elixir, Ether, Mega-Potion, ecc.) and "Status Potion" (Disabling, Poison, ecc.).

    I loved my pot spamming in RO, fun times.
    I have nothing against cool-down-less potions but I can see why people would be.
