Do what I do, use a speed skill that makes you immune to stun n slow n run at the veno. This is to purposefully get a purge, and then pop a pill right after purge, and quickly rebuff. I dunno about you but for me being a seeker it's two rebuffs that's like 3 or 4 seconds plenty of time to start fighting with the pot still activated. Owls are not really an issue for me
