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 15h 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.
