Why the spell power pots have like a delay/lock to be used and VR5 ones is instantly?

Did anyone else notice that? The spell power pots, when you are DPSing and need to pot, you have to stop everything you are doing and the press Q to use the pot, while using the VR5 normal one you can pot without stoping your DPS. Can't Zenimax do the same for the spell power ones?

Thanks.

    Idk. Maybe they did it due to the combat buffs. But it still is annoying and boring. Takes fluidity out the combat..

    Dude yeah. I have literally gotten in the habit of smashing block if I need to drop a pot. :-(

    They pop you out of stealth too, I guess we are all slurpers. Quite often the pots, tripots, will not work at all. You cannot drink them till you leave combat or die.

    I hate it sooo much. I usually find myself spamming my Q button when they pop and I need to use it, but when I go to hit the damn button my DPS rotation gets messed up a bit because I'm a DK, and my rotation is very fast /: Really pisses me off. Wish they'd fix it.

    It's very annoying. Sometimes I have to beat on the key 3-4 times before I use the potion. Not sure how many deaths the Potion of Unresponsiveness have claimed so far. Been like this since 1.6 and not a word from ZoS.

    Another potion related bug that's been around for almost a year:

    How come I can use a VR5 Panacea of Stamina without triggering the cooldown of Panacea of Weapon Power? As a stamina build I can use 2 potions in a row, not particularly hard either when you have the addon for quick slots.

    Magicka builds can not use VR5 Panacea of magicka, than pop a Panacea of Spell Power directly after. Because these potions(and pretty much all others including health) share the same cooldown.

    Sent a ticket about it asking long time ago, but no reply and you can still use VR5 stamina pot+ Weapon Power pot and get double resources back.

    That bug was reported back on PTS many times and yet they were not able to fix it.

    As Stam build you can use 2 pots but the Weapon crit pot has this *** stuck on it.

    Magicka builds can use Magicak Detection pot without getting stuck on it.

    And today grinding a PD, I nearly died because my health/mag pot wouldn't go off. Had to completely stop moving, casting, or blocking, with a boss spamming red circles all around, killing my pet, and then getting up in my face, and just hit Q until it took. That was not great.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno, can we get any confirmation it's even on a bug list?

    You can avoid this bug by crafting potions without Spell Critical bonus. If you're using Inner Light it's useless for you anyway.

    From what I can tell all potions are doing that now, though I do not know about single pots because I do not use them.

    The issue with spell pots is extremely annoying... I got 300 useless spell power potions sitting in my inventory that are basically useless.

    Just another game ruing by potion popping.

    Look at this way, it's a cosmic rebalancing against all the failed MMOs forcing you to use potions to get that 'edge.'
