I like Thurgadin gate potions too, but convenience-wise there's no question the OT Hammer is better. The hammer you have to wait 0-3 minutes for it to proc, and maybe it takes 1-2 minutes to find something/someone to wallup on, for a worst case scenario of five minutes time spent per "gate".

But the Thurgadin gate potions require going to CC and farming just to get the materials (a very significant time sink), and then each time you have to run around doing combines to remake your potion that take up to five minutes also (you have to run around more if you've saved stuff in the bank, as you have to chisel up your banked velium first).

Sure you don't have to run to CC and farm every time, but (assuming you have other stuff in your bank) you still have to go farm every five gates or so. When you add it all up the gate potions take way longer.
