The development team wanted to keep Diablo III fast paced and filled with action, not waiting idle for [[health]] or [[mana]] to regenerate. [[Jay Wilson]] also said that the old potion-based combat, where potions basically were extra health and mana to your pools, they wanted it to be more interactive.<div style="clear:both;"></div>

The increase is over time, so not instant, and you only activate them if you are lacking health. The interesting thing about multiplayer and orbs is that they heal all party members in the vicinity, enabling any player to be a makeshift healer. Even if the person picking the orb up is at full health, it will heal others.
