These potions give +8 strength and confusion, however if you drink a clarity potion you can completely negate the confusion and become an utter destroyer for the duration. Shouldn't the strength only be applied for the duration of the "blood haze" aka confusion effect?

Also before anybody posts about it, I'm ~not~ refering to potions of Blood Frenzy. I'm refering to a special alchemy potion which have been popping up lately.

With the confusion effect on, these things are a joke. you can't respond to anything and so get your ass kicked monumentally. I'd suggest reworking them to a lower strength bonus and the negative effect of lower Wisdom, and vulnerability to damage, or something. they are either useless or OP

Confusion has you standing arround as much as walking randomly and attacking. 2/3s of the time you won't be acting berzerk, you'll acting as if you were mentally challenged.

Could there be some way to only trigger the "attack the closest" command?

I say leave as i as long as said potions remain rare and people dont metagame.

I've personally held three of the things on my character so far. They need to be much rarer than they are currently if they continue to work as they do at present. It makes it incredibly easy to get +12 for 3 times longer than a barbarian's rage on any kind of character with no draw back.

This sounds wacky to me. More like a bug.

kill the alchemist, and hope the recipe dies with him.
