Suggestion: Auto use Perk potions

[Admiral Slark]

I wanted to hear other players opinion about some function to allow your monster to just use perk potions lying around. I do like the potion brewery but applying them to each monster is a bit tiresome.
You have to pick up the potion without picking up any of the spell potions.
You have to drop the potion, open up your minion tab and pick a minion to drop into the potion brewery.
You have to pick the same potion up again and apply it to the minion you just dropped.

at ~20-25 Minions on the average mission that is a fair bit of clickwork, excluding loosing minions and reapplying/upgrading their perk.

My suggestion would be slapping perk potions to mark them as "free-for-all" so any minion that doesn't have a perk (or a lower level version of the perk) can just apply it to themself.

It could also help to have spell and perk potions not share the same tile in the brewery.

Does anyone agree or have an alternative idea how to make applying perk potions less click-work?

Reworking how the potions are applied, or even giving us tooltips for the potions without picking them up, would go a loooong way to making this aspect of the potions much better.

Like you said, the ordeal of "pick up potion, look at it, throw it down, pick up unit, drop unit near potion, pick up potion, use potion on unit" is beyond tedious. Trying to hunt down a unit to use the potion doesn't really reduce the tedium, either, it just creates a different tedium.

Then again, I don't much like the way the potion room works in general. I don't like the randomness of it. I have less than zero use for almost all the potions, so I'm stuck having to trash most of them. I don't even make potion rooms unless I'm forced to for something.

I do like the idea of slapping the potion to mark it. Perhaps tweak it so that tank minions only use armor/life % potions, dps only use damage potions?

There should be new UI with the list of perk potions where you can see description by simply hovering over it, and select certain portion by left clicking.

Here's a thought, how about a potion bar or drinks cabinet room item? You can load potions in, and minions can visit to get a perk if they haven't already got one, or upgrade the same perk if there's a better one available? Or maybe an Alchemy table so that little snots can fuse low level potions into higher ones so you're not continually wading through potions you don't want? I love the idea of the Voodoo Brew, but in practice it does get more than a little tedious to use.

i just don't bother, its not worth the micro. I only use healing and speed.
