Kiara's Determination - a new unique flask coming in 2.3.0!

Provide nerf

Very nice addition !

Way too strong in this clear speed meta, new taste of hate right there. Straight up better than a white flask.

Even with my pathfinder, the duration will be really low.
Not viable as stun protection with CI...

its not even near the power of taste of hate ( max cold resist, phys dmg protection and damage with twice as much duration)

1 time use for 2.5s making it worthless.. got better flasks 2x use for 6s

nicely designed. i dig it. will probably use it with the next CI character i make, maybe even experiment with it on a life based character as well. what rarity bracket does it fall in?

WTB additional flask slot

The low base duration (3.5 seconds with 20% quality) means you'll have to use its charges wisely. I'd recommend popping this flask before you head into a fight with a dangerous foe.

I like the flask, it's neat and cute, but it's kind of upsetting that you'd recommend such a bad strategy? If you pop it before you start the fight, it's too early. You've gotta pop it *right* before they use a move you think will stun you (alternatively, right after getting frozen or something). 3.5 seconds is barely more than vaal discipline with no skill duration nodes, and flask duration nodes are very very rare.

Looks like something I would use when clicking a strongbox.

The only reason I said "before" was because it cannot remove stuns, so you'll have to pop it pre-emptively if you hope to avoid getting stunned at all. (It will still prevent stun chains though)

I think 3.5 seconds is plenty of time for most builds to handle a tricky pack, or at least thin it out enough for it to be less threatening. For example, if the next room over had a perandus box (rip), a bloodlines pack, and a rare with a haste aura, you'd probably want to pop this as you enter the door (assuming your build can't just clear it from the next room over).
