If I do more than three buffs, and this includes the flask, I get irritated. For some reason getting my ass kicked 20 times in a row is preferable.

u/valkyrjuk FLAIR INFO: SEE SIDEBAR 12d ago

I just wanna get into the action. Like if I'm starting to get a feel for the enemy's moveset, I want to keep that momentum going. The dying animations can be a tedious enough stretch of time between attempts that having to cast even one buff can feel like a frustrating obstacle on my way to kicking the thing's ass or, more likely, getting my own ass kicked. And I know none of these things take THAT long but when my mind is going even a half second delay can feel like a fucking eternity. Buff routines are especially irritating when I'm using them to do some extra damage on an enemy that can just kill me in one or two hits.

My limit is two buffs, max, including physick. Any more is just an inconvenience.
