Does a rogue’s thistle tea share a cooldown with others potions/consumables, like say a free action potion? I ask because I am considering a horde rogue and undecided which race.
And if it does share a cooldown, that means that I cannot use free action potion in most PvP engagements, meaning I should probably play an Orc for the stun resist; whereas, if it doesn’t, I can play an undead for WOTF, and use a free action potion / living action potion as a substitute as needed for stun immunity / breakage.
To be honest man. I would go with the orc rogue regardless. I can’t remember if the tea shared a CD with potions or not. I can tell you it was a 5 min cd. With potions being 2 min.
They all share a CD, along with health, mana, protection, restoration, etc. You can’t just stack them all. You have to use the right one for the situation. Protection actually lasts 1 hour though, so you could prepop one if you know you’re going to fight a certain element. Tea is mostly useful for ambushes to drop someone quickly, or boss fights where your CD isn’t needed for survival. But in BGs, you’ll mostly want to use free actions or restorations. Depending on the situation, one can be better than the other.
If you want items which do not share the same CD group, you should look for healthstones, whipper roots, ungoro crystals, or get engineering. Engineering items have their own groups.

Incorrect.
In Classic, Healthstones and Potions have different CDs. There’s no reason other things shouldn’t have dissimilar things like that. But, well, we’ll have to test that and find out.
Hmm I am not sure, probably will go with Orc anyway
Bingo and I look forward to seeing how annoying Prot is with Orc since I can get Iron will for 15% Stun and Charm resistance.
25+15 = 40 % Stun resist then the resist charm effects covers everything. Oh I miss old Prot.

You say “incorrect” then repeat what I said. I had already pointed out potions/stones are separate.
IDK if that’s how it works in the Beta, but on private servers Protection potions do not share a CD with health potions, etc.
They should, but private servers aren’t perfect. If this is messed up, then boss fights would actually be much easier than normal because you could chug major/prot every 2m, when you should only have 1 or the other. Usually, you’d prepop prot, then use it in the fight as well, because the shield is much higher than the health restore. Health is only ideal when you can’t use protection for the damage.
Tea is on the other CD list, with Stones/Tubbers and such, not the main Potion list.
I’m 90% sure.

That is what I was thinking too but unsure.
Just tested it, and yes, different CD.

I’m confused I don’t remember it having a CD (not including possibly GCD) at all. Are we talking CD or buff type?
Cooldown. There is certainly a cooldown on Tea, or rogues would be GCD limited (and I guess money!) only.
