    Did any Alchemists test the "arena flask" on the PTR?

    I know they're introducing an "arena flask" to give Alchemists a stat increasing perk on par with other professions (extra stats from better jewels, extra stats from better shoulder enchants from inscription, extra stats from enchanting rings from enchanting, etc..)

    How does the flask work? I know it can increase your strength, agility, spell power. Does it increase all 3, or does it increase one based upon your class/spec? How much spell power does it give exactly?

    Also.. how much does the new Lifeblood heal for? Anyone know?

    its like DArkmoon card (nobles) it increases the stats that you got most in like agility/int e.tc

    Yup, heres some info from a tester on the ptr. Taken from "Blackmojo" on the comment from the page i posted.

    "Edit: it does seem to be purely bases on the statistics, rather than having to delve into what spec you are. My test used a ret/holy paladin and a feral/boomkin druid. Switching between specs alone did not change the buff received, but switching gear sets did. My pally got spellpower in his holy gear (intellect highest stat) and strength in ret gear, while the druid (not mine, but also an alchemist) buffed spellpower in boomkin gear and attack power in her feral set (higher agility)."

    When I tested that flask about 1-2 weeks ago on ptr on my feral bear, I got a random buff from the flask every time I used it.
    Didn't seem to be any reason or rhyme to it, I just randomly got one of the 3 possible buffs.
    On the positive side, no cooldown, so you could spam use it till you get the buff you wanted ;p

    Really? That doesn't make any sense considering any melee will have more attack power than strength, and it gives attack power or strength.

    it seems that:
    if agi is your highest stat it gives AP
    if str is your highest stat if gives str
    if int or spirit is your highest stat it gives SP

    so in the end we feral druids get screwed over sinc we want str > over ap ^^

    New flask is great, with the newflask, and buffs to Endless Mana/Health heroics are even more of a breeze and people THINK im trying harder then I really am (lol heroic flask)

    Also, the buff to Mixology is broken as hell

    Flask of the Frostwyrm = 208 spellpower
    Flask of Stoneblood = 2.1k HP
    Flask of Relentless assault = ?????
    Flask of Pure Mojo = Waste of Mats

    I don't know about the other flasks but Relentless Assault didn't get a buff. 180 AP + 64 while sitting in caster form is the same as 3.1. Maybe I read into it wrong and the new flask is what we received and not buffs to current flasks.

    As Boomkin or Resto it alternates Str and SP. On the PTR it would alternate all 3 available buffs, Str, AP and SP. It has no cooldown, you just spam it until you have the buff you want.
