When to do use Basalt over Granite?

Ehm?! wtf am I reading here actually?? I combine and use both when its necessary... I mean why not? Its damn stupid to not do that vs bosses and high phys dmg moments..

" Well, mostly because it's kinda wasteful. There are much better flasks you could be carrying around than a granite, especially if you're already using a basalt. Remember, physical damage is only one out of 5 different damage types, not to mention life flasks. For try, for see, and for know.
This is a buff |

I'd take a Stibnite over a second PDR flask any day - getting the enemy in a smoke cloud halves their chance to Hit, not even accounting for the Increased Evasion Rating. They also last long and are very spammable, making them incredibly good at granting permanent immunity to Bleed/Curse/status.
Still, if all you want is to reduce Phys Hits, you could combine them. Sure. Nobody is saying you can't; the question was specifically about choosing between the two however. |

Is basalt better, if you have no armour on gear and run AA?
Where there's one they're bound to divide it right in two.

Usually. 6k Armour equates to 20% DR against..
6000 / (6000 + (10 * X) = 0.2 6000 + 10X = 30000 10X = 24000 X = 2400 Anything above 2400 Damage in a single hit is better mitigated by a Basalt than a Granite. |

Well, Vipermagi, you could take a shot at the balance team (Rhys?) and qualify your previous statement - granites would be better here and basalt there, if the game was actually designed around meaningful choices!
Speaking of design choices, I wonder if the superiority of basalt is a design choice rather than a balance flaw. The new flasks still aren't offered as quest rewards as far as I know, so maybe the new flasks are meant to be a RNG-based permanent upgrade to a character? Need game info?

It's worth noting, many monsters don't hit for 2k - against large mobs of dudes a Granite is way, way more powerful because they hit for 1k or so if they hit rather hard.

" I like running 3 health pots and a quicksilver. I might switch to 2 health, 1 basalt/granite, 1 taste of hate, and 1 QS once I get a ToH, but not until then. I hate not having 2 staunching pots. Mess with the best, die like the rest.
