Pot nerf/Potion Sickness (restricted to 1 pot for a boss?)

[Prowler]

When i took a potion (while in combat) right after the new patch was applied i noticed this little debuff

Potion sickness
Unable to consume potions until you rest out of combat for a short duration

You keep this debuff until you are out of combat, taking a pot does still trigger a 2 min cd tho.

Why the hell would this be necessary, or a good idea?

Blizzard's reasoning on this escapes me entirely ???

[Blasfomy]

Was this a mana/health pot or an elixir?

Im assuming its a mana/health pot, but i gotta ask just in case.

This was a mana pot it goes for all 2 min CD pots ive tried so far, destro/protection/mana/health ect

Wonderful for healers on long boss fights then. :

(or am I missing something here?)

no i had the exact same thoughts :P, the debuff will not go away no matter how long you are in combat, you really have to go out of combat for the debuff to dissapear

Sounds good, loved the elixir/flask change too.

Of course fights would be balanced around "one pot per person", rather than "as many pots as possible per person", just like with flasks/elixiers.

WHen I read this I read "We now will make the players have to rely on each other to give mana back rather than the raid relying on consumables" (Lots of classes are gaining abilities to give players mana now)

Imo, this will be good....you just don't see it yet

[Prowler]

i geus we will have to wait and see how this will be on the long boss fights 10 min+ and how this will effect raid setups before we can see it as a good or bad thing

Some how I don't believe you and think this debuff was obtained another way, just a convenient name. The reason I don't believe it is of how the screen shot was presented, gimme a full shot and I'll believe it.

I'm going with this till I see blue post.


Either way, things will be balanced around this so whatever.

Kerros, unfortunately its real...

[Prowler]

sec ill make a new screen wasnt sure if you were allowed to post screens now or not since i noticed most people blacked out there name ect, wich is why i did my orginal screen like that.

Edit: here you go

Maybe a balance to the new mana restore of hunters/ret paladins, raidwide mana totems and spirit changes.

looks like there will also be a debuff ("Tinnitus, you can't hear drums for the next 2min" or something) that will stop you from chain drumming. one per group, that's it.

they want raid encounters to depend more on skill and class abilities than consumables.

this was already in the previous patch, the pot change how ever is new, if you want i can also show you a screen of the tinnitus since im a drummer on this char =)

Hmmm, no more farm mats all day for one raid?
