Alot of people automate Pathfinders Master Surgeon Life flask... Maybe it's time to revise it?
I'm not going to condemn nor approve of whoever automates it. That's not the point of this topic.
GGG lost a war against keybind-loop programs and gave us a way to semi-automate utility flasks with enchants. They wouldn't have done that out of goodness of their heart if people didn't find a way to just "cheat" around it. Master Surgeon is exactly the same issue and people that play it "legit" way are just being needlessly kicked, while those that use 3rd party programs enjoy having constant massive uptime on a life flask. Here 2 different suggestions i have that could make master surgeon less taxing for players that would remove the need to use 3rd party programs: 1. Make 1 left/right-most life/hybrid flask continously apply its effect with 50%~ less efectiveness - all it changes is that the flask always works instead of us spamming it.... or using keybind loop. 2. The ascendancy node gets a short mastery-like dropdown option list (think of scion ascendancy.. or mastery) where the 1 left/right-most life/hybrid flask gets 1 of the craftable automate enchants for utility flasks. To everyone "hurr durr i don't abuse it therefore i dont want a change", the change i ask is literally what we already received with utility flask automation.

It should be craftable, nobody else wants to use it on anything but pathfinder and its no creep on pathfinder because it already happens its just got clunk for no real reason. Clunk that scripters bypass obviously.
Have had this exact discussion quite a few of the last leagues though I don't think GGG are gonna change it |

This is the worst part of Pathfinder. Its also why I never did 'Master Surgeon' on Pathfinder. Edit: Since they changed it.
And its in need of fixing as suggested. Whatever the exact fix: I dont want to become a bot when playing: "Press X every Y seconds." No thanks. Not my idea of "Action" RPG. No wonder it's lost, it's in the middle of the jungle! Last edited by Zrevnur#2026 on Jul 17, 2025, 7:33:37 AM

I agree, but I suspect that in good old GGG fashion they would nerf the node into the ground if it would auto reactivate.
In their eyes it's too strong to be automated I believe. Not that I would ever use 3rd party macro tools, but hypothetically having permanent 10k life/sec recovery on my ToTA Pathfinder would have been really strong... just saying. Doing 1 button press every 1,5-2sec is just nonsense. |
