Honestly, the various salves and balms just clog up my inventory until I sell them.  The only exceptions are using warming balms before fighting dragons.  And when a mage fires off a spell, usually the party can use a balm before the spell hits - however it seems like enemy mages pretty much only use fire and lightening - I seldom to never see spells doing spirit damage, cold damage, nature damage, etc.  

Of course, resistance potions are generally fairly useless in RPGs unless you know you're going to be battling a lot of one kind of enemy which does a particular type of damage (in which case they're great).  Regardless, has anyone found utility to them in Dragon Age?

I usually sell the lesser balms and keep the greater ones.



And then I forget to ever use them anyway.

They were quite usefull for me in the final battle, and some of the bosses that used 'elemental' damage. I do tend to sell them most of the time for a nice penny.

Only useful in a handful of special boss encounters for me : Gaxkang = spirit, High dragon = fire, and that's pretty much it. I wanted to use some against the spider queen but didn't have the right ones at the time (was spirit I think ?).

The backpack limits always prevented me from carrying a supply of them around. Unless you have meta-knowledge about what you're going to be facing before you get there, it's simply not worth the potential loot space to keep balms on-hand to address all 5 damage types. They're high on my list of what to destroy when the pack gets full mid-dungeon.

To cumbersome to use, and are made obsolete by healing anyway. Most of the damage you suffer in this game is physical anyway. And anything that does something other than physical is either a boss or something you want dead super-fast (Mage).

They are very useful on a solo playthrough.

so true. i think the AI difficulty is not much difficult at all. going to try to solo on nightmare

[Svancara]

I honestly never used them..

[Sereaph502]

I kept about 2-4 greater fire balms with me to fight a dragon, thinking they'd come in handy because usually dragon = fire damage.

Liquid coin is what I say... Or whichever substance these things would be considered. Not much, but coin still.

[Taritu]

Fire for dragons, spirit for Gax. I sell all the others.

Yep I am ditching everything but warmth salves. I am thinking a good pc mod would mix up the spells creatures  can cast. Throw in some deathclouds, mana clash, more blood magic. It would make you think twice before ditching them.

I never use these - I don't like to manage a lot of consumables, or have them eat up inventory space. I sell them ASAP. I never used them, not on the High Dragon and not on Gax'kang. I'm just playing on Normal though - if I switch to Hard or Nightmare, that may make a difference.

I kept them all just in case but beat the end boss, flemeth, unbound and high dragon without them. So next playthrough i will sell them.
