I understand trying to lean away from "I'm about to die"-instant healing to forcing players to plan ahead when it comes to health, but c'mon! It takes at least 4 potions over a period of 20 seconds to fully heal my druid. In the middle of a battle it has virtually no affect. But I bet I am drinking them the wrong way.Werebears in particular are something of an anomaly with their extraordinary high life and Oak Sage can compound high life issues for any character too.
The red potions only heal a fixed amount (or critical heal occasionally) and with a high life Druid that fixed amount won't go far. The rejuvenation potions on the other hand heal a percentage of your characters total life so those are really the ones a Werebear wants. Use the cube to get them if necessary.
As for drinking Healing Potions the wrong way, if you have minions to tank for you, try slipping out of the fight, shape shift back to human, guzzle a Healing Potion, then shapeshift back to bear form. ;)
