Need ideas for a Unique Flask!

I would imagine they would fix phase run rather than adding an actual invisibility to flasks, but you never until you ask :)

What about a Flask that gave you Elemental Equilibrium during it's effect, but decreased your All Resist?

About the "MUST HAVE" stats... It really depends on builds.
From your 3 flask examples flask 1 seems the most interesting for me.
From my cyclone mapper's perspective I'd love to see a flask that would allow you to control your cyclone more.
Something that would drastically reduce move speed on use and would give bonus to attacking but would turn into a supercharged Quicksilver when on low life would be handy :D

Also you could make a flask that makes everything crit during it duration (monsters and you at teh same time :D)


What do you think about my Aura Flask suggestion?

It's only real downside is that the gem is destroyed.

Hm it's an interesting idea sure but how useful would it be? It's not that hard to stack up auras late game. Auras people often use are Clarity, Determination, Haste, Hatred, Discipline and Purity. If the unique flask will keep the auras as they are then Haste and Clarity are clearly out as poor man's Quicksilver and Mana pots. Actually stacking auras up is fairly easy in the game so noone would use the pot slot to just free up mana space.

What if the pot added an interesting twist to the aura? Like it's effects would be reversed and it would affect enemies? Problem I see with this is that how would Hatred/Anger/Wrath work with this and the usefulness of Discipline depends how monster's ES is calculated (players get 1k or more from it because of passives, monsters probably get a big flat number)

Other solution could be allowing the pot aura to stack with it's normal counterpart. Problem is this could be potentially too imbalanced.


Added Support gems in addition to auras; this way, players could choose one support gem to use that works with ALL of their current skills.

Think about a flask w/a gem slot (Gem is destroyed when slotted), only the gem only activates when the flask is used.

Edit: Think about blood magic users too. We could use an additional aura without the drawbacks of % reserved. And freeing up mana if you're not a BM user could be a huge benefit. Like, maybe you don't need Purity up ALL THE TIME, and only when you're in battle; you can put that on a flask.

Isn't that overpowered? Practically making any build a 7L.

Unique Quicksilver Flask:

- On use teleports the player to a random location away from enemies.
- Has a two second cooldown.

----------------------------------

The unique flask you are designing has to be unique. Not something like plus that or minus that.
And the biggest drawback for me would be that the flask takes away your health or ES.
Drunken Fist
Granite Flask
------------
+3000 Armor
------------
+150-200% Increased Armor and Evasion Rating
-30% Reduced Light Radius
Player is cursed with Temporal Chains during Flask effect
Acrobatics
Iron Reflexes

"The more drunk a man,
The harder it is to hit them,
And harder their head." - Karui Wisdom




*The Curse is during effect, thus Immunity will not remove it just like a Map mod Curse
**The Increased Armor is double that of a normal Iron Skin because of Acrobatics 50% 'LESS' multiplier, which would make it end up actually being less than a 100% Iron Skin.
***So you attack, move, and cast slower, and see less (drunk :P), to gain Dodge [if you don't already have Acrobatics] and Iron Reflexes [if you don't already have it.]

I think it'd be interesting. Giving 2 temporary Keystones that reduce the other's, which most people already have, effect for some added avoidance/mitigation at the loss of dps/mobility.
Besides, being drunk is good! :P

It would only work during flask effect duration.

Edit: My original idea was to only be able to use Auras with it. Not sure though.

How 'bout Skooma - the flask that gets you well spent!!

"Skooma is valuable and often smuggled, but due to its illegal nature, most shopkeepers in Morrowind will not do business with you if you are in possession of Skooma or its unrefined form, Moon Sugar. Among criminals, Skooma is often used as a currency."

"Skooma increases your speed and strength, while decreasing your intelligence and agility."

"Skooma is also known to have long-term effects, including a decrease of literacy and vocabulary. The book Confessions of a Skooma-Eater gives more information on the social effects of the drug."

...and that's how you do lore people.

So it might be said that the unique downside to this flask would be that you cannot use vendors/merchants and must destroy or "loan" the flask to someone else and hope they give it back later. Hot potato anyone?
