Since Patch 8.0.1, Healthstones no longer share a cooldown with health potions. This means that players should always use Coastal Healing Potion Icon Coastal Healing Potions and Healthstones whenever available.

If you can afford it, you should use Battle-Scarred Augment Rune Icon Battle-Scarred Augment Runes to increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of these runes available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them for when you need them.
