 ::'''Jay Wilson: '''We did put health potions back in, but they play a very different role. You can't spam them like you used to, you can only use them about once a map. The purpose of those is to take the edge off the loss of health. I don't have health, or I've got half health, do I want to use a health potion, or do I want to risk it? Ooh, I've got 10% health, it's not even a decision. That's a really interesting decision, and it makes potion use a fun part of the game.

 ==Potions in PvP==
-Players have asked how potions will be handled in [[PvP]] play in [[Diablo III]]. This question is not one the [[D3 Team]] have answered yer. There were no healing potions in the Blizzcon 2010 PvP demo, but this might not indicate a design decision for the final game.

 [[Jay Wilson]] did talk about healing potions in conceptual terms, during a [[BlizzCon]] 2008 Q&A session.[http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/blizzcon-press-conference-with-jay-wilson/]

-The role of '''potions''' in [[Diablo III]] has changed repeatedly during the development. Early on, there were health and mana potions, just like in Diablo II. Later changes to the game structure and class [[resources]] removed [[mana]] potions entirely, while leaving health pots. There were never any rejuvenation potions seen.
+[[File:Health-potion-tooltip-ros.JPG|thumb|300px|Health potion in Reaper of Souls.]]
-As of May 2011, healing potions remain in the game, but they are designed as emergency life savers, not as something characters will sip regularly. Health potions instantly heal a large amount of hit points, but have a long cool down, eight seconds or so as of Blizzcon 2010, which makes them something a character can only count on once or twice during  an intense fight. There were no healing potions available for characters in the [[Arena]] demo, but it's not known if this prohibition will apply to the Arena in the final game.
+Earlier games in the series had multiple quality levels mana potions and rejuvenation potions, and there were multiple quality levels of healing potions in [[Diablo 3 vanilla]]. The potion system was greatly simplified in [[D3v2]] and [[RoS]], with only one type of potion, whether found at level 1 or level 70. Reaper of Souls adds six [[Legendary Health Potions]] which grant identical healing to a normal potion, but add a bonus defensive effect for 5 seconds.
-Health potion function remained substantially the same in the Blizzcon 2010 PvE demo. There were no potions available in the [[PvP]] Arena demo, but it's not known if this will be true for the final game as well.
+==Health Potion Evolution in Diablo 3==
-===Health Potions===
+As a result of these changes, mana potions were removed entirely, and the use of health potions was changed from a spammy drinkalot system like Diablo 2's to a sort of emergency button that provided big healing, but came with a lengthy cooldown. Health potions went from no cooldown (Diablo 2 style) to a moderate cooldown (8 seconds as of Blizzcon 2010), to the 30 second cooldown upon launch.
 [[Jay Wilson]] talked about the concept and execution of health potions during an interview from Blizzcon 2009. [http://pc.ign.com/articles/101/1017305p1.html]

 ==Elixirs==
-There are [[elixir]]s in Diablo III. So far [[Strength]] and [[Dexterity]] elixirs have been seen. As of [[BlizzCon 2008]], these provided a temporary, 300 second bonus to that one attribute. Elixirs were not seen in the Blizzcon 2010 demo and it's not known if they remain in the game.
