Flask worth two Elixirs

The rumours were true, Nethaera confirmed on the forum that Flasks will work in this new system by taking up both the offensive and defensive elixir slots. The detailed information about the whole range of change is still missing, but I'm sure we'll see the patch notes soon. As elixirs will stack with buffs now, we might also see new forms of stat-buff-elixirs we did not had before. I'm still a bit torn concerning the upcoming changes, but i think it's a step in the right direction. The consumables played a too big role in raid encounters and were (still are) way too powerful, reducing them is good and will result in less time needed to farm stuff for raids. My hope is in addition this will make the 15sec boost potions much more useful then they are right now. Until we know in detail about the changes, it sure will stay interesting.

Eyonix said that new encounters would be designed with the changes in mind, but they won't tune old encounters immediately, only if need be. Any encounters that spring to your mind which will become much more difficult now? Probably the DPS race ones, depending on the gear level your raid has.

Did you realize how many mini-games people created as mods for WoW? Check out eg. curse for games and you'll find everything from Minesweeper to Invaders. Could be useful while standing around and waiting for the rest of the raid to show up.
