Thanks for the replies and links.
Not really. By the time you need a healing potion in the fight they're already pretty pissed off at you. -Tal
Sorry, let me clarify. I was wondering on the usefulness of healing potions while grouped. This would be with the objective of potential burst AoE hate generation. Let's say a paladin in a group watches the primary tank warrior die or get disconnected and there are still multiple monsters facing the group. The paladin attempts to assume the role of primary tank for the rest of the fight. Would it make much difference in hate generation if the paladin were to use a healing potion on himself? This would assume the paladin already has the attention of at least one mob.
There is more on other threads, but since I've yet to find a real reason to do gear swapping in combat, I haven't looked into it.-Pete
How about a macro that equips a trinket from inventory, uses a long cooldown special ability, then switches back to the original trinket? Perhaps the same could be done with something like the scarlet belt or wolfshead helm. However, having looked at various screenshots, it seems that players may be strapped for hotkey spots.
