What does it mean – Auto-Use Potion?

Auto-Use Potion refers to a macro or addon-assisted behavior in World of Warcraft that triggers potion usage automatically under specific combat conditions, such as health thresholds, boss pulls, or burst phases. While WoW's core game does not permit true automation of potion use (as it violates Blizzard’s ToS), Auto-Use Potion setups simulate automation through conditional macros or WeakAuras that prompt the player when it’s optimal to use a potion.

These setups are especially common in high-end raiding, Mythic+ dungeons, and PvP, where reaction time is critical. For example, a DPS player might set up a WeakAura that flashes when pre-potting before a boss pull or when their cooldowns align for maximum burst. Similarly, tanks and healers may use health-based triggers for defensive potions.

Some addons also support auto-confirmation or reminders for potion usage during scripted encounters. While the player must still press the button manually, these systems ensure that potions are used consistently, efficiently, and at peak effectiveness.
