Potion sickness V.2

[Selinaria]

So dunno if anyone else on Beta noticed this, but I think I can finally say the removal of the potion sickness debuff itself was intended.

Tonight I noticed that instead of the debuff itself, the 2 minute CD timer on potions will not start until you drop outta combat.

Probably a more elegant solution instead of just throwing on a debuff, although the result is the same . One I wholeheartedly support by the way.

Imo much better design philosophy to design encounters without extensive potion use intended and/or required. Also forces players to play smarter

Nothing smarter about not using pots in encounters that are designed for them. Players aren't going to get better because of this. That said, I like the change.

So now instead of being able to use pots once in combat we can use pots once in combat and then wait another 2 minutes? :/

Seems that way

I bet due the pvp.
No point to make pve potionless and happy pvp drinking.

Perfectly makes sense.


I'm happy as long as pot sickness stays.




I quite had enough of using over nine thousand ironshields per raid, and i'm sure our healers and casters think same of mana pots.

I'll just not get started on Destru/Haste pots.
Drums at least got 50 charges.

And even drums can't be chained anymore, lest your eardrums burst.

When I heard about the mining buff, I dropped Herb, when I saw this, I went with my desire to make shiny baubles. I don't regret it, but sometimes I see the 3! stones sitting in my bank, and cry

Well, look on the bright side! Even though the 40% potion buff is now useless, aside from the name, they are exactly the same! You can totally wear two unique items with the exact same stats!

*cough*

I thought of that, but my priest got better trinket than another stone anyway.

WAIT! I don't need 10+ @$##@$$@# primal earth per raid anymore? AYAYYAYAYAYAYA

(Total sarcasm since I knew this already but felt like bitching at how much sunwell nights cost me )

I'm still thinking about what I shall replace my herb/alch with....

I dont need enchanting since I will be able to enchant my tankadin by sending enchants from my warlock. Other interesting choices: JC, Engineering and Blacksmithing.

Guess I'll wait and see.

Isn't Mixology 50% increase effect?
Not sure how much worth it is for lev80 elixir/flask compared to other proffessions tho.

On a side note how does the potion cooldown work for classes that can drop combat. Will hunters and rogues be able to pot again two minutes after a vanish/FD.
