Bottomless Potion of Amplification

Getting More Out of Every Heal

The Bottomless Potion of Amplification does something no ordinary potion can: after you drink it, it amplifies any healing you receive from any source for a few seconds. Life steal, life regeneration, the potion itself - everything works noticeably harder during this short window.

That is why it shines across classes in builds that already rely on multiple heal sources, such as life steal on crit combined with healing per second. Anyone with barely any other healing gains little from the multiplier. My tip: do not panic-pop this potion at the last second, but use it deliberately during intense phases when your other heal effects are running full - that squeezes the maximum out of the amplification window.

Roll Range and Effect Window

The amplification rolls in the 20–25% range and lasts 5 seconds each time. The potion carries no other properties, so two copies differ only in this one number, and one with 25% is simply the better one. Because the bonus works as a percentage on healing you already receive, its value depends directly on how much healing actually arrives during those 5 seconds. A build with a single weak healing source gains little, while one with several strong sources gains a lot more.

Which Healing Gets Amplified

The power explicitly says "from all sources". Besides life steal and Life regeneration, that covers health globes, Life per hit and healing from skills. Pick up a health globe during the window and you get more out of it. Time the potion so that as many of these sources as possible run at once.

Jentulf's Return

The flavor text comes from Royal Apothecary Jentulf's weekly address to the Society of Apothecaries. After his time in the King's dungeon, some claimed he had lost his touch, and with this potion he sets out to prove them wrong and loudly announces he is back.
