Flasks

Hello fellow Exiles! I hope this day finds you all well.

I wanted to make a fairly short post about my thoughts on the current system in place for flasks in Path of Exile 2.

So far I very much like the fact I only have two flasks to use. Personally I think it's significantly better than running a piano key set up. That being said, I very much miss the movement speed flask. I hope it finds a way in to Path of Exile 2 at some point.

Now on to the primary purpose of this post.

I think the Blood Magic Keystone should allow you to equip a second Life Flask while blocking the ability to equip a Mana Flask. And that Chaos Inoculation should allow a second Mana Flask should be equipped while blocking the ability to equip a Life Flask. I don't really know if it would be necessary to block the opposite flask, it just kind of seems right to do considering the pro and con nature of Keystones. That being said, I'm not sure how balanced this would be. However it would be amazingly useful since Blood Magic (on paper at least) would make Mana Flasks completely useless. The CI side however, could find use with a Life Flask if the Eternal Youth Keystone is also allocated.

All of that being said, what do you guys think? Good, bad, balanced, or unbalanced?
I'm curious to know every one else's thoughts on this.


May the loot forever be in your favor Exiles!

I want to use 2x mana flask cause hp flasks are useless :P

I suspect it would be unbalanced if able to use 2 of the appropriate flask with Blood Magic or CI, but perhaps they could add a flask affix along the lines of "30% increased mana (or life) recovery from flask when CI (or blood magic) is allocated. Or if not an affix then a passive skill on the tree granting the same

They need to bring back the utility flask I like the two slots but I want options.
