Flask of fire broken?

Just promoted my Alchemist last night and was very excited to rebuild her properly, but I seem to have encountered a bug. When i pop Flask of Fire, I can no longer spam Elemental Mines all over the place! Worked fire before promotion, but now? I can toss one set of mines and then the cooldown happens as normal, Flask of Fire seems to have no effect.

 

As I just promoted her and bee-lined straight to Flask, I don't have any other skills other than Stealth to test right now, but it seems like FoF will still allow Stealth to be spammed off and on. I'll test later with different skills just to confirm.
 
Did they change something in a patch? Is it related to my recent promotion? Anyone else encounter this? Very disappointing that the cornerstone skill of the class seems to be busted.

I thought that was what happened with Elemental Mines and Fire Flask when you take the Throw Everything upgrade.

Obvious question is obvious: Did you get the fire flask upgrade?

OMG.

 

Yup, well, that would do it. I forgot default FoF didn't do that since spamming skills seemed to be it's main purpose. Thanks all, I'm an idiot.

Flask of Fire and Elemental Mines interact in a way that makes both of their descriptions inaccurate.

 

If you have both levels of Flask of Fire, not all your powers will have no cooldown. Only powers that are not currently on cooldown will have no cooldown.

 

If you have both levels of Elemental Mines, Flask of Fire will not remove the stamina cost of that ability. Using Elemental Mines will still empty your stamina bar.

 

Taking both powers with the upgrades makes both above statements true simultaneously.

 

The workaround is to make sure that both powers are not on cooldown. You will then be able to spam Elemental Mines repeatedly if you use them immediately after activating Flask of Fire (but not if you use it before.) However, be aware that you will have no stamina when Flask of Fire wears off, unless you have a relevant passive that restores stamina.

 

Hopefully, they will correct the tooltip, the power interaction, or both. But, I have a feeling, based on what information that they've made public, that it's not on the list of fixes for the next patch.
