Alchemy Concern

[Onri]

Has anyone figured out what the Stat potions are good for? I crafted a bunch up for my static in prep for the Ifrit fight, but with a 5 minute recast on a buff that only lasts 15 seconds and shares a cooldown with the healing potions the stat boosters seemed extremely less than useful. Has anyone found a good use for these, maybe in high level events?

They're good for spike damage buffs, I remember in 1.23 wherein they shared a 5-min recast with ALL potions people still used INT potions for super burst damage. That is mostly where it's useful.
You shouldn't be using your healing potions too much, you healer should be covering that, and even then the high-end potions such as X-Potions have this same cooldown period.

They can also come in handy in some gathering nodes. Sometimes you need that extra INT or any other stat to get a +10% gathering bonus or +1 additional try (and so on). Probably not the most efficient use, but it's something.
