World of Warcraft: latest PTR update to add new alchemy flask

World of Raids is reporting some new updates for the 2.2 PTR that should be of special interest to alchemists everywhere. According to this new list of changes, alchemists can now create one new flask that increases both stats and resists, and two alchemy recipes will now be changed to provide all-around spell damage bonuses to multiple types of spells.

In any event, here’s the full list of changes for the refreshed PTRs:

General

• Haste: Haste has been rebalanced. It has returned to the ratios from the launch of Burning Crusade. Melee attacks and spell casts will now benefit at identical rates from haste. This change results in a reduction in the benefit of haste for melee attacks and an increase in the benefit for spellcasters.

Items

• Increased the duration of the Mystical Skyfire Diamond’s cast speed buff to 10 seconds.

Professions

• Alchemy
• Flask of Shadow Fortification will transform into the Flask of Pure Death. This new flask increases Frost, Fire, and Shadow spell damage.
• Flask of Arcane Fortification will transform into the Flask of Blinding Light. This new flask increases Holy, Nature, and Arcane spell damage.
• A new flask that increases all resists and stats has been added to the Violet Eye reputation vendor.

There’s still no word on when these changes will actually be made live, but don’t expect them today. Blizzard probably has its hands full with the whole world-ending exploit thing they’ve got going on.
