Why Distilled Vengeance is so bad?

[Sikers]

Wreath and whole new branch of skill tree are underwhelming, but 1 living log and 3 mourning glory to block incoming dmg once and deal insane amount of 20 damage to attacker, is too bad to be real. Did I missed something? Dose it have any other function or is it bugged? 

 

Also, can you pls bring back the Shroud, even if it was OP and unbalanced, at least it was mechanically interesting, compared to Wreath imo

It is not immune to one hit damage and actually only blocks 50 damage. In other words, if the damage exceeds this, the blood volume will still be deducted.

When you are surprised that they can limit a potentially interesting idea to boredom, and someone reminds you that it is even more boring than you imagine, this is also the reason why people feel uncomfortable with this' new content '.

The original distilled vengeance on abigail was also always pretty bad tbh.

[zzzzzzzzzzz]

The whole Wendy skill tree is terrible.

True

If this elixir can shield knockback once. Then it would be useful for who used to ride a beefalo.

I agree that they should give this potion more functionality or for a longer period of time. There is a mismatch between its benefits and its cost

Unyielding Draught / Distilled Vengeance is currently not very viable for both Abigail and Wendy.

To Abigail, the potion is almost useless against bosses, and it cannot be used with other potions at the same time, especially Spectre Cure-All. Because you cannot use multiple non planar-potions at the same time, only Spectre Cure-All and Nightshade Nostrum are used most of the time. It might aquire more universal survivability than now.

To Wendy, the potion might sound nice but don't forget it'll take your head slot. Any head slot armor is a far better option than Wraith's wreath with this potion. Especially at night time combat where Abigail can do her best. Since Wendy'll likely to use night vision with her wreath. Maybe a little tweak on number can solve the problem. Or if Wendy can drink potions without wearing Wraith's wreath.
