World of Warcraft Analysis - Potions

Just like almost every other MMO game, World of Waraft has potions as well, and different levels of them.

In previous Blizzard games, such as the Diablo series, potions had near zero cooldowns, which allowed players to stack them in inventory and chug them fast if you want to replenish health. They later discovered that to be not such of a good game feature, so they made potions in World of Warcraft with cooldowns, (2 minutes).

Just a while go, Blizzard made the 2 minute potion cooldown into non-combat cooldown only, so that players could not chug them in raids to give them that tremendous unplanned health/mana boost.

I think it's a great change.
