I find myself selling stacks of the "old" potions to vendors periodically, for very little in the way of profit. Should I bother picking up health potions?
Are there situations where I will find them very useful, perhaps at higher difficulties? Or should I leave them lying on the floor, like so much other gray and white trash?
There is no reason not to pick up heath potions. At worst, a stack of takes up one inventory slot. At best, they are essentially a free healing spell with a 30 second cooldown. Any little bit of healing can save your life. Now, you definitely want to make sure you are always using the best health potion you can get.
If you are out of type, another type is not used instead. You need to manually switch to them. As a monk who likes to get right in the heart of the action, I find myself victim to a lot of spike damage. Enemies will hit me hard, but are unable to maintain their attacks before their demise. I can't spam my healing abilities, and sometimes I don't have the mana to do so anyway. Health potions provide just the boost I need to keep on punching.
Particularly against bosses, uniques, and champion packs, the game generally rewards you for hammering on the baddies by spitting out well-timed healing globes to keep you going. However, sometimes surviving until the next healing globe is a bit of a challenge, particularly for some of the less pleasant affix combinations.
Healing potions can give you just enough health to get you to that next healing globe, which, in turn, will get you to the end of the fight. Some escape abilities will help you prolong these tough fights, as well, allowing you to get several healing potions in over the course of the battle.
It's not every fight at least it shouldn't be , but they absolutely come in handy for particularly tough battles. Even if they only save your life once an hour or two of playing, it absolutely merits picking them up and carrying them. After all, they take up so very little room, and they don't sell very well.
Just remember to upgrade them to the best you can carry, and don't make the mistake I did of forgetting to put the newest ones on the hotkey when you upgrade! Sign up to join this community. Zero Zero Add a comment.

Foxtrot I see 'minor health potions' and the like and my mind reads that as mana potion for some reason, but I always see the health potion count go up. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google.

Healing Potions These potions replenish your Life over time. When using these Healing Potions it's best to run away from combat long enough for them to heal fully. For maximum effectiveness pick Healing Potions based on how many hit points the Potion heals vs how many hit points require healing. Drinking Multiple Healing Potions will cause more life to be replenished but will not cause you to replenish life any faster.
It's possible to waste healing potions by using more than is necessary. Antidote Potion This potion cures poison instantly. Thawing Potion This potion instantly removes ill effects from cold spells. If monsters or other players start using long lasting cold attacks you may want to start using thawing potions.
They can be purchased from the Potion Vendors. Stamina Potion This potion restores your stamina instantly. You also receive super Stamina recovery for 30 seconds. Stamina Potions are very useful for running away from monsters in emergency situations. After continual running it's easy to forget how much stamina you have but using a Stamina potion can instantly regain Stamina so that you can run for much longer.
When retrieving your body you sometimes have to travel long distances. Keep some Stamina potions around to make body recovery much easier.
It's always handy to keep several Stamina Potions around depending on room to save for later.
