CORUSCATING ELIXIR

Hey GGG,

I've paid a little $ in, this was my first league. Overall tota was fun. In return please hear me out a little bit.

Coruscating elixir is a powerful item, build permitting & defining. The safest way to run the flask is auto-using it via Traitor or Pathfinder (on full charges) so you don't forget it.

There's a massive problem with the item & the ideal way to run it... When you change zones, Traitor & PF don't add charges for 3-5 seconds, but your flasks are also removed. You can imagine what happens next, I take chaos damage, and die. Poe is a very fast pace game, and some doors don't reset flasks, some do, most builds are designed to reduce micro to eliminate mistakes, I just don't see a Coruscating elixir instance changing death as an experience issue.

There's a few easy fixes I'd ask you to think on:

1. PF and Traitor type effects 'tic' once you enter a new instance and move or act. This lets people use flasks that use on charges full without gaps, but it also shouldn't cause any new problems.

2. Change flasks so their active buff can be dissected from the active flask, but no longer than 5s after moving/acting.

Ex: P1 enters new instance, his flasks are reset, but, the remaining time was applied as a buff that isn't removed via instance. The buff can't stack if flask is used. This way, it would allow players to zoom through instances, keep some of their flask effect, and not have gaps. This method could theoretically be abused, depending on the max duration allowed.

3. Put a hidden ability on coruscating elixir that makes it active for 5s after instance change & action/movement, without having to be used. This is theoretically abusable, but I wouldn't suspect any issues to scale out of hand.

For reference, see my beloved toon Krigdragunok in HC Ancestor league, who has now died thrice while being very strong & capable, at the hands of a merciless flask reset.

Speak to Zizaran about flasks arbitrarily resetting!

well this is the only reason I never do sanctum on my pf, because I can't even attack anything while my flasks arent up due to mana costs, but I don't think they'll change it

@Devs

Another easy fix would be gaining+1 charges on all flasks immediately on entering & moving in new zone, triggering the "use on full" effect.
