Let's talk about the Coffee Pot

[RistoffDervish]

What are the opinions from people who have actually used the new anniversary "coffee pot".

I was in game and I think it was Hobgoblin who said he loved it, but I was skeptical.

1. Is it worth the constant re-drinking and short buff length?
2. Have you ever been adversely affected by it running out at an inopportune time (like in a boss fight or the middle of a jump)?
3. Does it share cool-down with the heal pot from crystal cove?
4. What are your general opinions of it; good or bad?

Thanks!

I did the grind on one of my toons. To be honest, I find it annoying to use. Once you quaff it, you have to keep quaffing it or the negative effects are debilitating. Also, you know how spending two minutes in a tavern will remove negative effects? Well, tavern time doesn't get rid of the problems associated with pumpkin-spiced coffee withdrawal. Logging out for 15 minutes or using a shrine are the only ways I've found to remove the negative effects.

This is coming from a long time artificer, who got two one for my main artificer and one for my pet artificer.

It shares cooldowns with all eternal potions as it should do. It is not affected by potion mastery effects. On my artificer I use a whole bunch of eternal potions depending on the situation, from heroism to freedom to displacement potions. For an artificer, this is THE potion to use before a boss fight as usually boss fights and raid boss fights are static affairs. It is also useful at low levels for the blur and bonus to jump.

I would not take it on non artificer toons simply because if you exclude the dps effects, other eternal potions are a lot more useful.

I like this for my Artificer. I also like to use my Rune Arm but AP are short so Runearm speed enhancements are just off the table. With this coffee I get a fast recharge and it becomes very useful making 4 levels of Artificer with Repeating XBow and 5 charge rune arm a huge boost in DPS.

I tried to run it as a regular buff, and unless I was using the runearm regularly it was not all that useful to me. Instead I found myself laughing at myself as I became lethargic when I realized it was not lag that made me feel sluggish.

For me this buff is worth it when using runarm and XBow, I would not recommend it for Melee.
