Assuming vanillia system won’t be in place where you had countless potions/elixirs you had to consume to buff for a raid. The TBC and beyond system was better, though, perhaps here we might tweak here to have some vanilla spirit.
How about something like:
- flask (2hr) - persists through death
- One offensive elixir (1hr) - no persistence
- One defensive elixir (1hr) - no persistence
- food buff - no persistence
- Wep oils/sharpening stones/poisons (extend to 1hr) - persists through death
- Pots with various offensive, defensive, mana, health, etc, go to a 5min cooldown like retail. No pot overwrites any of the above.
