Divination Distillate is bugged or working as intended?

I just spend a lot of currency buying this item.
I was expecting to get 5 seconds duration (6 seconds with flask duration affix) of increased IIR and IIQ. 10-12 seconds if you chain the flask.

5-6 seconds is enough to land a culling strike on a boss/rare.

BUT.

If you are full on mana the bonus IIR/IIQ buff does not appear or triggered.
If you not full on mana and you get to full mana the buff disappears along with the extra IIR/IIQ.

I have 378 effective mana.
The only way to get 2 seconds out of it is to burn all my mana and use the flask.
2 seconds is really not much of a window to land a culling strike on a boss/rare.
Not to mention that is hard to burn my mana just to get 2 seconds of increased IIR/IIQ

This also means that blood magic build with leech that are full life most of the time they will get 0 duration from this flask.


If this is working as intended then this flask is worthless.


It also appears that Inner force affects it.

If you add the IIR and IIQ from my gear and the flask I total to 591%

But when I used it (with out auras so I had time to take the screenshot) I get to 604%.




Is it suppose to be effected by Inner Force? I get that is a buff and Inner force should affect it but I would rather have the full duration rather than a small increase on IIR/IIQ
Actually I would like to have both.


The buff of this flask should triggered at all times even if you are full on mana or get to full mana and last the entire duration.


Any chance I get a response from GGG?

It's working as intended, though a lot of people don't realize/think about it properly before they get one.

The effects of hybrid flasks stop as soon as your health and mana is full, even if that is before the full maximum duration. On pretty much any end game build with leech or regen, that's going to be a small fraction of a second when you're killing stuff, which makes the flask basically useless.

There are some who insist they manage to get the full duration while killing stuff, but I haven't actually seen it, and it's something you'd have to build specifically for.

I bought two of those flasks when they first came out, and got rid of them the moment I realized the catch, as I figured they'd become worthless when others realized. Apparently for some reason that isn't the case, and they've maintained their value despite limited scope for actual practical use.

It is working as intended, it would be OP if it worked even on full life/mana.

Try using arctic armour to keep your mana from filling.

just spam a curse before you kill

This is working as intended and this flask is very overpriced.

Inner force bonus to this flask will be removed in 11.4 which will make this flask even less worthy.

I tried, and I tried what others are suggesting with arctic armor, but in practice it just doesn't work like they are suggesting. Yes, you can cast a curse, great, but as soon as you kill a single enemy you will regen/leech back to full, so like I said, it only works for a fraction of a second/single shot on an enemy. The problem with the arctic armor idea is that you have to be moving to get it to eat more mana than you regen, and it gets full again as soon as you stop, which means you can use the flask for a while, but not if you want to kill anything at the same time.

I agree with your previous assessment of it being worthless, but I like it how it is. Great troll food.

I just spammed curse on my magic find character and this allowed me to run the full flask duration. I also used the perendus belt and it extended the time on it which was nice

I want to see an actual vid of someone using this flask for its full duration while killing stuff. All these anecdotes just don't add up. What happens when you stop casting your curse to hit them? You can't kill stuff with just curses.

*Edit, unless you are only running one or two auras, but if you have to do that to use the flask, it's still worthless.
