I'm unsure if this is the correct place or if there is any kind of suggestions section I'm missing but the functionality of this particular potion in Bozjan Southern Front is either bugged or overtuned to a very harsh degree. I expected it to work so that it would turn a tank job into a kind of faux "DPS" job but what actually happens is that when the boss uses an unavoidable AoE ability you just die from full health. We're talking over 90k damage to unavoidable AoE and with the potion running on a Tank job your HP decreases to 78k.
It makes it completely unusable on Critical Engagements and unless you have a tank friend taking all the aggro you explode even from any trash mobs in the regular fates hitting you with auto attacks. The only way you can survive the AoE is to use your defensive cooldowns, in my case Reprisal and Rampart together for 30% decrease, but the damage is massive and drags you from full down to the 5-15% range which is significantly more damage than any of the regular DPS jobs take. I regularly play SAM in Bozjan, including in Castrum, so I can speak from experience that I take far less damage as a DPS job than a tank running Irregular. I've taken a significant mettle hit testing Irregular at this point and I simply refuse to believe that it was designed explicitly to function this way to the point of near complete uselessness. If it has some kind of auxiliary use I'm missing I can't find it.
I'd like to hear thoughts from other people who've tried it. Or even suggestions on where I could toss this post if this is the wrong forum section. Any suggestions at all really. I just want to use it when we have too many tanks / healers and not enough DPS in Castrum or even outside it for fun goof times.
