Community Input: Potions

[EvilThor]

I think it should be JUST alchemists. It makes the profession more useful. Plus, every potion can be altered to become an area of effect potion that the alchemist can use on others. Granted this makes an alchemist more like a party necessity but so what, that's kind of the point being that all potions are most helpful when fighting. If everyone could use potions people would be able to stock up massive amounts and potentially ruin a source of income for alchemists once they're supplied. If only alchemists could use potions then alchemists would ALWAYS have some importance. Also I completely disagree with the statement "everyone will be one (alchemist) and dodge all other professions (if only alchs could use potions). That makes no sense at all. Some people do very little to no pvp and prefer to play a more genuine minecraft experience, like myself. I will always be a miner, not because the other professions don't interest me, just because I simply enjoy mining... Make every profession important, don't let non-alchemists do what alchemists can, the same way non-enchanters can't do what enchanters can.

You know every everyone can USE enchanted tools,
What we are talking about is who that can USE potions.
All agree that only alchemists can MAKE them

you have to remember that crafter is a proffesion. Their may be some users who want to go alchemist as a trade and sell their material, limiting the players who can use them will also limit their profit

I think you should nerf the potions or take some of them out.

These potions would include harm, strength and poison.

other wise everyone should be able to use pots.

I think potions should be for everyone that spec's and remove the OP ones like poison and harm cause than actual combat makes no sense when people can just spam harm and kill you in two seconds and also the higher lvl you become the better tier potions become available to you I think is a reasonable choice

Here is my opinion. I believe that only Specialisations can only USE Potions. However, some potions are restricted for use for certain classes.

For example:
The Potion of Healing potion can only used by a specific Healer Sepcialisation - The cleric.
OR
The Potion of Swiftness potion can only be used by a specific Rogue Class - The Ninja.
OR
The Potion of Strength potion can only be used by a specific Warrior Class - The Dragoon or Samurai.
OR
The Potion of Fire Resistance can only be used by a specific Caster Class - The Geomancer.

Consequently, these potions are basically copies of certain skills like Pray, One and Flameshield. So I'm not sure how to handle that. Since there single-use, they may act as a Last Resort. They might have multiples of the potions so I reckon a Limit of Potions in the inventory?

I reckon though that all upgrades of the primary potions should be restricted to all except the Alchemist. They will be likely to overpower classes in general if all the specialised classes had access to powerful potions.

Hopefully I've contributed enough.

Exactly my point.
