Make Find Potion Viable for Patch 2.5

I respectfully disagree. Everything about Find Potion is medicore. Why can’t we improve this skill? I think the proposed changes moves the needle somewhat towards viability. This skill doesn’t need to be great, just good enough.

Find option is absolute poo. That 1% synergy is all its for. One of the worst in the entire game.

Having said that, im still not convinced anyone can make anything fun or benefical out of it. You would need a new kind of 1 off potion developed to make it worthwhile, i cant see the devs doing that.

Please feel free to consider that a challenge!

dev shouldnt even try to make it better

they have to completely change it into a whole new skill

there is no warcry that direct increases dmg %/ AR %

Agreed. The developers could go back to the drawing board and completely change skill to “Find Organ.” The Barb could find hearts, livers, gallbladders off corpses and use that for new crafting recipes. For fun, they could even introduce a new item called “The Amputator” for a bonus to Find Organ.

im open to new ways to heat up the market but i dont think a class exclusive currency is a good idea

Agreed. For balance, allow organs to drop from slain monsters for all classes, but it would be rare. This would prevent the Barb from having a complete monopoly on organs, but would have an advantage nonetheless.

Not so easy mate. Irl gun powder was discovered in BC in China, but not until 12th century did people manage to make weapons out of it, and not until the 19th century that firearms completely surpassed cold weapons.

I find it worrisome that some think that, because they don’t find a use for a skill or don’t like it, the skill absolutely needs a major overhaul. Sometimes, the skill just isn’t for you, but others do have a use for it.
The risk is that, if you manage to get your way, you could alter it in a way that doesn’t actually help you like it, and manage to damage it enough that people currently liking it find themselves with something that isn’t usable for them either.

For me, Find Potion is currently a very nice 1-point wonder skill, and I would spend more points into it if there wasn’t the issue that I already need to spend points on at least 9 other skills.
Since I personally don’t use attack potions, if you started having this skill drop them, you’d be replacing potions I have a use for (even a mana or healing potion can simply provide a quick refill to be able to continue fighting) for others very few players have a use for in normal, and absolutely nobody outside of normal.

PS :
Just to clarify : even if the skill did drop attack potions, or utility potions, you still wouldn’t use it, but the skill would be a lot less useful for players that currently do use it.
