You might also want to look into greater confusion potions. I use them to great effectiveness when i bite off a little more then i can chew. Its like a take 2 giving you 5+ seconds to get rdy. My oh S**t button as i call it has saved me plenty of times, set it up to double click the potion and targetself. It will instantly stop everything in a 7 tile radius from attacking you for 5 seconds + typically a few more for them to retarget.
Wow - yes. I like this "
outside-the-box" kind of thinking. If you're going to carry regs or mage scrolls anyway, why not add Confusion pots?
Just don't forget to tick the "
Un/re-equip hands for pots" box in Razor Options.
FE
PS Regular Heal pots, on the other hand, are not very helpful because
a) in the time it takes to chug one you could have got in another swing to regen Life anyway without laying yourself open to attacks while you have no weapon equipped..
b) although you are immune to most poisons, you are often momentarily affected by it (until the "
you seem unaffected by the poison" msg kicks in), and this can easily screw up the pot Heal attempt.
c) you are going to be permanently Lethaled for the whole of T4 at most spawns anyway.
