Small Potion Timer Exploit

[CptJesus]

With the advent of wrath, Blizzard introduced potion sickness, which allows you to use only 1 potion per combat cycle. However, potion sickness clearly states that the cooldown will begin as soon as you leave combat. If at the beginning of a boss battle, you pop say, a Wild Magic potion, you will have the wild magic buff for the first 15 seconds of the fight. Because you are not in combat when the potion is used, the cooldown begins, and 2 minutes later, you can use another one.

This trick isn't all that useful for most people, but for people who are attempting to maximize their DPS for progression, its a useful little tool and not really common knowledge.

This is a well known creative use of game mechanics. Not really an exploit.

I actually cant think of more than 1 person I know who knows this trick. Like I said, some people do know this, but not everyone does.

common sense

This trick is wonderful for a zerg 3d sarth. You get about 14 seconds haste pot, pop lust for 45 seconds or what ever, then another haste pot. 14ish extra seconds with that much haste around for 10 people is a big deal in a fight that is supposed to be under a minute and a half or what ever

Repost. I'll try and find the other post from a while back and link it.

It is a repost and it's not common sense.

3D Sarth zerg should be dead by then
