Need some ideas - useful potions

Post by Rattlecage » Fri Nov 19, 2010 8:32 pm

Ok, so in my mod I got rid of health and mana potions. Don't worry, whenever you kill an enemy there's a percent chance to recover health. You just need to keep killing to keep healing. :lol:

So......
What are some good ideas for other useful potions? Don't worry if it's possible or not, just throw your ideas out there.

damage boost potions? velocity boost potions?
these potions could have a duration of 20-30 seconds, this is just a quick idea.

I have fire/cold/light/pois resist potions that give little max res for 10 secs, damage reduction potion, defence incresing potion, magic resist potion and a potion that makes you invulnerable for 5 seconds.

Obviously the last one is very hard to get ;)

an experience boost potion is also nice, like a 200% boost for 20 - 30 sec

I made tons of different buff type potions, some of their effects are permanent, and pretty similar to what the guys above mentioned. Some of the potions are very unusual, like needle potion, which damages enemies severely when they hit me or cripple shot which blinds enemies that hit me.

I also made about 30 different attack potions, ranging from freeze gas to static fields that knock your enemies all over the place or even a screen wide cluster bomb that makes multiple explosions everywhere and one of my favorites the funny bomb which applies all your attack properties upon detonation.
