Only 1 Flask if Blood Magic

[Flushing]

PoE2 hardlock's you to 2 Flasks only, which is fine if the game is balanced around that.

But, you can't choose what 2 Flasks because you are also hardlocked to 1 life potion and 1 mana potion.

It really hurts when you take the Blood Magic Keystone because then you can only use 1 potion, in 1 slot life. That really hurts because Blood Magic is already a mixed bag, requiring extensive investment in your health pool and health regen or you will kill yourself.

My suggestion would be to allow us to determine what 2 Flasks to use.

Why not let us choose to run 2 Life Potions, or 2 Health Potions. or one of each?

That sounds like good suggestion, you should put it on their forums https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-forum/2213

they should allow to use any combo of potions to be honest

I think it would be harder to balance to allow all builds that option.

Maybe just adding something to the Blood Magic node. Something like "Flasks have twice the charges" or "Flasks recoup 50% of used charges over 8 seconds".

That's a great work around for Blood Magic. I would prefer if the Blood Magic Keystone grants the ability to have 2 life Flasks.

But, I really think that everyone should be able to pick any combination of 2 Flasks. This would be no different from PoE1, with the exception of the 2 flask limit.

The thing is without even taking blood magic, if I choose a high int class with great mana regen, and reliance on energy shield, I would also like the option to roll with 2 life Flasks, if I so choose.

Doing mana stacking means your mana potion is useless
Going chaos inoculation means your life flask is useless

Every keystone has a downside, the downside for blood magic is that you lose your mana flask

I LOVE that this isnt Flask of Exile like the original. Micro managing 5 flasks was not my idea of fun.

That's fine, but I still don't understand why we cannot choose what Flasks occupy each of the two spots.
