Skill usage/casting affecting potions consumption
As per title,
1) Skill/ability GCD affects potions.
While i am using a wand or any ability that triggers GCD, i cannot use potions. They are affected by the ability's GCD (the circular blacked out image that appears over skills also appears over potion hotkeys) and i need either /cancel what i'm doing or wait for the GCD to wear off prior to using a pot. Tried it with both a healing and a mana one.
Potions should be unrelated to skills/abilities GCD and have their own unique cooldown table. Edit: they are some of the few 'spells' that fell under the exception category, in regards to GCD and limitations.
2) And in this, i cannot be 101% certain.
While casting, one cannot use potions. Self evident, you need to wait for casting to end, cancel it, or generally be idle before you can use one. I won't go on oath saying this is not how it was in retail, but i distinctly recall using flasks the very instant stuff like WF procced in raids, meaning i did not have to stop fighting or wait for anything. Which is why back then (could not afford a gaming mouse at the time), i had pot hotkeys in my numerical numpads. Had no need to "look down" prior to using one, was only a matter of reflexes.
I am however personally certain in regards to the first point.
