This is effectively a self target Divine Intervention. Pretty expensive to make even after the patch but can be useful if you really hate dying or can save the raid from having to run back.

Commento di 58807

Does this work as a potion-version of DI?

The expensive Ice Block for non-mages.

An awesome potion useful in arenas
Almost every class has Dot's. Place a few on em, pop this potion
Hope this helped!

Will this item drop your aggro when used?
In other words, would a mob continue to whack at you when you take it, or will they shoot over to the #2 on the aggro list?
I'm trying to determine it's usefulness from a Tank's prospective.

It turns out one of these things can be used as an expensive way to avoid dying from falling damage. I flew up to the maximum height above the Terrace of Light and dismounted. I had no Parachute Cloak or anything like that, so I dropped like a stone. When I was at about the top of A'dal's head I drank a Flask of Petrification. It stopped me cold and held me in the air. When the minute expired, I dropped the rest of the way, and took only minimal damage.

Obviously, popping one of these just to avoid dying from a fall isn't exactly a sensible economic decision. I imagine it mostly would be showboaters in Shattrath who'd do this. For some, after all, a little attention is worth any amount of gold. When I tested this it was on the PTR* and, yeah, I did it where a lot of people would see me. I got a few tells, mostly from people who thought it was a bug.

*It still works on Live, though. I procced extras making one of these on my normal realm and used one to confirm my original test.

Update: As per 2.3, I think, the petrification effect does not prevent you from falling, but so long as it's still in effect when you land, you won't take any damage.

Commento di 74358

A good use may b to pop it if you get in a tight spot with gruul's shatter attack though it would b emergence use only since u would b stuck for 60 seconds but anything is better than dieing.

Commento di 15460

Can anyone confirm that it removes the bleed on Moroes? Guy in our raid swears back and blue the guy has a hardon for him, he's an ice mage, and we had 2 paladins a few weeks ago, he was cured and goroted 4 times! two ice blocks and two BoPs!

Commento di mergele

This flask removes all buffs / debuffs, and the flask effect itself is not removable, as it is a typeless debuff (red border). This means that if you pop this, you're frozen for the entire 60s duration.

Commento di 66161

Note: As of 2.3 this item and others will not stop you in the air, but rather you will continue falling.

Commento di 9818

This thing says it lasts for one minute, and only has a three second cooldown, So can you drink one, wait a minute, then instantly drink another?

Commento di 37160

Does it work for capping places in pvp, or preventing cap from enemies in world pvp/BGs?

Go the the area where you get the pvp slider bar, fight whatever you can, if you're about to die pop one and you'll be considered am unkillable live player in the zone for 1min, making the cap of the zone slow/impossible for enemies ?

Commento di Gali

imo the best use of this stuff is when you're raiding and you get some very nasty DoT debuff or an AOE thingy. Drink the stuff and it can prevent a wipe if you're a healer or something

Commento di 110266

Is this effect dispelable by Mass Dispel or any other similar spell?

Commento di cechjakpoleno

Just obtained 6 of this and tested in WSG and on Son of Gruul in BE.

It clear all your buffs and debuffs (including food and flasks)
You gain debuff called Petrification
It lasts for 1 min and can't be removed or dispelled
It get you ouf of combat and drop all aggro
It can be drinked over and over, because it share cooldown with other flask, You only need to wait one minute to drink next

It's imo very usefull for fun, but not much in raid or PvP. Because it clear your buffs, and lasts for 1 min and cannot be removed or dispelled. In WSG, as it clear your bufs, you also drop the flag.
might be usefull in raid progression, when you have respawned trash behind, and dont want to clear it again. Just go where boss/trash cant be pulled, drink this, wait for others to wipe and evade trash/boss, ress others.
Or in PvP, it can be expensive vanish for non-rogues, Just drink this (you'll get ou of combat), wait one minute, drink Invisibility Potion.
So it's veru funny item, but realy expensive.

Does anyone know where i can find an alchemy lab so i can make flask of petrification.

Commento di soontobeDK

So i can use this next to Saurfang and i still wont be killed?

Commento di DrSlump

Saurfang is only letting you live for 60 seconds because it will be the only time you get to see him while you are alive.

Commento di 99479

What I'm curious about is the viability of this in boss fights where threat is a none issue. For example Murmur. As long as someone is within melee range his focus is on them. My question is would he still try to hit you (provided there isn't another melee within range) or turn his attention to those at range and proceed to wipe them out while your immune.

Commento di 268254

man but where can i find an alchemy lab i searched in SW but it says Requires Alchemy Lab
cant find it plz help :D:P:P:P

Commento di 130864

I'm assuming it wouldn't work, but has anyone tried getting 5-6 people with these flasks to go pop them on a population-cap zone like in EotS or Wintergrasp or the towers in EPL? Just wondering if you count toward the number of your faction in the area for capturing it while petrified, or if it's just like being stealthed/unflagged and you don't count.

Commento di 139482

Mixology does nothing for this flask.

Commento di WaxPaper

Finally found the Recipe for this flask in the AH after almost a year of searching. I was prepared to spend up to 3000g for it, considering it's just so rare to come across these days since the majority of players aren't grinding between the 50-60 level range anymore. Found it on the AH for 600g, which was a steal, especially since it completed my Alchemy book (sans a few cauldrons).

As for the flask, I love it. Descriptions here are accurate; the flask turns you to stone for one minute, breaking all combat and leaving you invulnerable. Any mobs that were attacking you will break away and return to their patrols. As long as you don't draw aggro when the flask is finished, you'll stay out of combat. The debuff can't be removed, so you have to wait for the full minute until it wears off. But it's just like Hunter's Feign Death, or a Rogue's Vanish. Aside from the dozens of fun PvP uses, I've found that this flask also has PvE benefits.

Even if the class you're playing has a combat-breaking/aggro-dropping spell, this flask gives you a SECOND escape route. Granted, you'll be out of combat for one minute, but there are dozens of PvE and raid scenarios in which this can be useful. Healers that don't have a Soul Stone active can pop one if the raid wipes, allowing them to stay alive and rez the group back up.

With a cost of about 8g per flask, depending on your server, it's an expensive "Oh Crap" button, but serves its purpose well. I've only used it in a raid once so far, but I've used about a dozen of them in PvP and PvE leveling to avoid death.

Commento di 161867

Considering the cost of durability as a mail or plate wearer can outweigh the cost of the flask, its a win. Or if your just lazy and don't like running back it's still a win.
Or if you saw the youtube video above and want to replicate it with a bunch of mages to ice nova and AE 20+ allys down, then it's the ultimate win. Gogo God in a Bottle.

Commento di orcsmash

Does it break stuns?

Commento di Craigslist

I've read some where it is possible to use this during Hard Mode Iron Council where you can pop one before Meltdown since you're gonna die anyways might as well prevent a boss buff if you don't have any pallies for DI. No longer will work due to the changes to it.

Leading to the nerf in 3.2 I tested a few on the PTR to see if it still held anything similar to the pre 3.2 version.

Absorbs exactly 6000 damage. After 6000 damage is dealt you are free.
It is no longer a flask, but a potion now so it triggers the potion CD.
Does not benefit from Mixology or any alchemist stone as far as I know.
It does not cause any loss of aggro nor does it remove any debuffs or prevent future debuffs when used.
When used, all your buffs and elixirs/flasks are still active and aren't removed.
Assuming if a tank is using this, your avoidance is at 0 when used.

Overall it seem the fun factor was nerfed out however, it could useful in situations where you know you're about to take a large hit (maybe Fusion Punch from Iron Council) working as a preemptive health pot where 6000 is a pretty decent amount.

This item went from a DI in a bottle to a PW: Shield in a bottle.

Commento di xstaindx

Might be a "potion" now but it procs for Elixir Mastery. :) (was a flask before).

I got an x8 proc. The mats now make x2 by default.

ridiculous that they would change this item, it was as rare as it was good and fun

Commento di 697870

I had been playing for more than a year before I was able to get this recipe. Then when I was finally able to make as many bottles of Potion of Petrification that I wanted, the mats were so expensive (in time to farm them or gold to buy them) it was not possible to have a huge supply of these, so there was absolutely no need for blizzard to nerf these. Typical blizzard, they make a great item but also make it very rare, expensive, or hard to get and then when enough people get it they nerf it.

Before the nerf this item was something of myth and legend (well at least in regards to this silly game), i.e. a potion that made you invulnerable to all damage for 1 minute with only a 3 second cooldown, so in practice you could drink another potion one after the other and stay invulnerable for as many minutes as you had potions (which as I said because of the cost of mats was not that many). After the nerf it became a who cares potion that is not worth the trouble.

Commento di Eillesthis

I scan the auction house really regularly, and auctioneer collects statistics on how often it sees items. The recipe for this potion is among the most rare items I have seen. Over the last four and a half years (since I last reset my data), I've seen it only 12 times, including the one I just bought. Of course I don't see the ones that are kept rather than sold, or the ones that are posted and snatched up before I have a chance to see them, but that's true for most items. The drop rate is just so low, and the sources are high-level vanilla mobs, many of whom are in raid locations that lots of people just skip when leveling, so if you're looking on the auction house, the recipe is crazy rare.

Commento di Thottbot

At onyxia deep breath it is usefull. a fire prot potion is better though, and vey much cheaper.

Commento di Thottbot

Does the flask remove you from combat? I assume not, so that you can't use it as a consumable Divine Intervention.

Anyone know?

Commento di Thottbot

This is the objective of one of Dispatch Commander Metz's repeatable quests, and I find it preposterous that the AD would actually want one of these. Why even bother writing text for the quest . . . It may as well say "Throw this item out and get some other Insignia quest"

Commento di Thottbot

does this cause you to drop aggro?

if it didnt could be very very handy for mt to pop like halfway through a fight if healers had oom(like new guild in mc, or right as hakkar turns godmode)

just a thought

Commento di Thottbot

Run into Drek/Vanndar in AV and drink it. It will be funny as hell.

Commento di Thottbot

Yes make 15 flasks for all your sponges... ya... time to go fishing.

Or you could just farm NR for Huhu.

Commento di Thottbot

Why is using a potion in PvP being a cheater?
If you are a blacksmith and you make your self an arcanite champion is that cheating? no.
so why is using a potion you made cheating?

Commento di Thottbot

This needs a philosopher stone to be made.Does this means it has CD like transmute or u can make potions as long as u have mats for them ,in one turn ?

Commento di Thottbot

Im looking for info on this, does it work like a pallys DI?

Commento di Thottbot

DI shakes agro. I don't think petrification does. Got huhu to 4% five times in a row last night but since our team has only been in BWL for 3 weeks (and faming nef for two) we a rather undergeared for the encounter despite having 250NR unbuffed on all mellee and 200NR unbuffd on all ranged. We tried a full NR approach, buffer gorup approach etc. All same result... 4-5%. Going to ez-mode huhu with pertrification for 2 weeks while we gear up to take on the encounter without. people who feel that this is cheap should also consider that we are taking all melle out of the dmg equation in that last phase. So yes... sponge group is intact but 1/2 ou dps is petrified.

Commento di Thottbot

Does anyone know if you maintain your mana regen while you are petrified? If so, this would be a great item to use if you are a healer with no mana left and are about to die. A minutes worth of uninterrupted mana regen is nice, even if your spirit isnt that great. With good spirit, this could be a lifesaver.

Commento di Thottbot

Has anyone tried one of these as a patchwerk ot?

Commento di Thottbot

this Flask does not drop your Aggro. If someone of your party/raid members will deal the damage or heal (Damage/Healing Over Time also) - they will take the aggro.
So if there will not be any DoT's on mob and HoTs on party/raid members, then your party/raid will gain 1 minute to regen your mana and HP (bandages dont cause aggro it seems).

for Healers who OOM its not the best, try to use Dreamless Sleep Potons (https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/item=37140/ace-of-rogues). but its CD is sgared with mana/hp potions...

ManaRegen speed will not BoostUp when you affected with this potion.

Its like 100% shield from any damage, thats all

Commento di Thottbot

Not Worth the Mats

This would be really good, if it was some sort of retroactive potion (meaning it can be used more than once) for PvP. Otherwise, your either stupidly rich, or just stupid, to be using 30 Stonescale Oils AND a Black Lotus for ONE potion.

This, however, has many uses in PvE, but again, there so situational and rare, that it's probably not even worth keeping a few of these handy in your bag for that situation.

Let me just spell out the costs of this flask;

Black Lotus - 18-30G (Extremely Old servers will sell them much cheaper)

Stonescale Eels - 3-5G for a 5 stack.

Mountain SilverSage - 5-25G (Server prices really do play affect on this particular herb, I actually managed to sell a 60 stack for 50G on Ve.Co)

Now assuming that you pick up these mats for bare minimum price, your paying at least 29G per potion,and you have to run either BWL or Scholo just to brew it. Which can take up to half and hour for Scholo, and GOD knows how long for BWL.

To emphasise the point of how worthless this potion really is, this has dropped 3 times in our guild runs, NOT ONE Alchemist has taken it, and it was subsequently sold for 40G, 36G, and 42G on the AH.

Unlike other expensive consumables (e.g. Arcanite Bomb), this truly is a waste of time, effort and money.

At least you cant devestate people in PvP with the Arcanite Bomb (Provided you use it very well), this thing just gives you a non-class Ice Block.

Commento di Thottbot

this flask does have limited use. give this to your mt, if a fight is lasting to long and your healers and casters are out of mana, everybody stops fighting, the mt pops this and presto you now have one minute to gain some mana back, bandage or what ever else you want to do. if the person who popped this had aggro then they will keep aggro as long as nobody else pulls it.

Commento di Thottbot

Where is the best place to get this recipe besides AH?

Commento di Thottbot

As of burning Crusade this Flask drops Aggro, its become a healer flask.

Commento di Thottbot

i think,when someone has a lot of them,and uses this,then again,and again and again...funny or annoying:P
good in STV Arena:P

Commento di Thottbot

From the next patch on, this flask will delete all your aggro on all mobs until the duration ends. This actually is not a buff but a nerf as mobs will no longer attack you (being immune to their attacks anyhow) but will instantly change their target.
Something else to consider is that from the next patch on, you won't be able to stop this "buff" before the minute is over. So use it wisely, 1 minute of lacking DPS or heal is nasty.

Commento di Thottbot

Does this flask only drop hate and make you immune, or does it clear dubuffs like DI as well? Might be useful for Morose's Garotte if it does, since not all of us are dwarves ...

Commento di Thottbot

nobody yet has said where it drops - thats all i want to know

Commento di Thottbot

An alchemy Lab is located in Shattrath,Terokkar Forest, Outland. Go to lower city, to Skettis outcast. Go up the tree tower stairs, cross over to second tree. Then down one set of stairs. Circle around, you'll see a small round "Alchemy Lab" table.

Commento di Thottbot

Can this be mass dispelled?

Commento di Thottbot

cooldown 3 seconds... so you can use this over and over... wow... Godly.

Commento di Thottbot

Getting tired of people bashing this flask so much!

This is possibly one of THE most useful flasks your healer can have in a raid/instance setting.

The flask wipes aggro and prevents all damage to yourself in the meanwhile. This allows you to save your party from wiping, and potentially having to start a raid trek over from scratch. Considering the IMMENSE impact a SINGLE flask can have on a raid compared to what any other flask/potion/elixir does makes this (in my opinion) one of the most USEFUL flasks to have with you (and make one of your raid healers carry).

Commento di Thottbot

Has anyone tried this for tanking the red beam on Netherspite?

He should still attack the guy since he doesn't go by an aggro table, but does the Flask protect you from the beam-tick itself?

Also, when the portal phase is over, does he target you for his breath and waste it, protecting the rest of the raid?

Commento di Thottbot

I love potions, so when I saw that someone had completed the quest for this recipe and decided to sell it on AH instead of using it, I bought the recipe for my potion making friend.

It is an amazing potion that can pretty much stop death, but at a cost.

The good:

1.It literally turns you into a statue, which means that no one can attack you. It's like you don't exist. All enemies reset to default positions first, then will attack the next closest player. Very handy if you want to lead someone into a trap.

2.Enemy players stop attacking you. I was ambushed by 5 horde in Shadowmoon. Popped a potion, they stopped dead in their tracks because they couldn't target me, and all the dots went away.

3. Low cool down. The flask lasts a full 60 seconds, but the cool down is only 3 seconds. If you want to stay a statue for longer, just wait until the timer runs out, then hit another.

4. It removes you from combat. This is probably the best feature. Being out of combat means you can use anything once you unfreeze, like an invisibility potion. Great for vanishing out of a fight.

The bad:

1.You can't do ANYTHING while the flask is running. No spells, no eating, no moving. You are a rock.

2.You can not turn it off. You are a statue for at least 60 seconds. Good time to get a quick snack.

3.It removes almost all buffs. I'm a huge buff guy, and this potion wipes out all food, potions, self cast buffs, and scrolls. The only things it seems to retain is weapon and item buffs like frost or shadow oil, greater rune of shielding, and greater rune of warding. I'll do some more testing.

4.Expensive. 7 stonescale oil, 3 silversage, 1 black lotus.

All that being said, I think it's a great potion to use in an emergency. I never worry about getting hit by horde "family style".

Commento di Allakhazam

They will most probably ignore you, just like having Blessing of Protection on or putting Divine Shield.

Commento di Allakhazam

This flask basically works like any other form of invulnerability:
It fully shields you. In other words, this is THE get-out-of-jail-free card, especially for healers.

Sadly, the costs match the power, but oh well...

I remember watchin a video of a paladin ressin in Org, standing in between the bank and AH and using one of these. He justs stands there petrified yelling "KILL ME" over and over lol. Shame I cant remember the vid .. all I know is that I got it from www.warcraftmovies.com

This seems to be the best(well, funniest ^_^) use of the potion, other than this you can send answers in on a postcard :\

Commento di Allakhazam

For all the jokes about this flask it does have one very good use. For whatever reason (too slow/lagged/stupid) people are unable to survive phase 2 of Heigan the Unclean. This flask lasts just long enough for them to remain alive up on the stage while Heigan is there dancing. For those of you who cannot dance... this is your only salvation.

Commento di Allakhazam

Use this when you are turned into "The Living Bomb" by the baron. Useful for all those who can not ice block, or pally bubble. Best use for it I can think of. Still not worth the cost though.

This is not Divine Intervention in a bottle. This flask does everything listed in the description, but mobs will not ignore you. They will keep on attacking you, even though you are under the flask's effects and immune to the damage.

Commento di Allakhazam

Trying to figure out what level range the recipe drops from.

Commento di Allakhazam

This does have a use. To avoid Onyxia's deep breath!

Commento di Allakhazam

If monsters won't ignore you, this might be useful at the third boss in Black Morass. If you are the last man standing, use this flask and your dead party members get 60 extra seconds for corpse run...

Commento di Allakhazam

For that 60 seconds, can you get hit (but take no damage), thus serving as a tank? Or, do the mobs simply ignore you when you're stone?

Commento di Allakhazam

If Mobs/Bosses don't turn their backs on you when using this, maybe this can be of some use in big encounters like Patchwerk for the maintank.

Commento di Allakhazam

as it is, the mobs that were attacking you will go to the rest of your party when you cast this and come back to you when the other people on aggro list are dead.

Commento di Allakhazam

But if this is not for tanking, when exactly is it usefull? It's used like hunters use feign death?

Commento di Allakhazam

Then it's the same as the mages spell "Ice Block".
It's just 50sec longer. But I'll be trying this tonight just to be sure.

Commento di Allakhazam

Does anyone know if grabbing the enemy flag in Warsong Gulch cancels the effect? Or if you can drink it while holding the flag and retain the flag?

If so, this is the "I-Win" item of WSG. A cheap way, yes, but effective.

Commento di Allakhazam

I just used it in Blood Furnace run, was attacking then saw party falling one by one, last one standing and quickly used it, mobs completely left me alone, went back to posts, and one minutes later, came back and rezzed everyone.

SO. YES. IT IS POSSIBLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT POTIONS A PRIEST OR REZZER COULD HAVE FOR A RAID.

=)

Commento di Char

From what others have said, it does include fall damage, so it could be good for Archimonde. Perhaps you just don't want to risk the fall until you get better at timing your Tear before the ground or maybe you hit your tear too early.
If you messed up your tear and your choices are either either death by fall damage or this 60sec of statue, then using it and staying alive is always better even if this removes your food and other similar buffs in tbc phase 3.

Commento di lightblademc

Extremely powerful consumable for Hardcore content.

Commento di priapus

Since no one has mentioned this in the comments, the reason this "useless" potion in 2006 is now invaluable on modern Hard Core servers is because you can basically bubble hearth if you use it correctly in a dungeon or raid. You have to leave group in the dungeon (which starts a timer that will hearth you from the instance), then use petri (which will make you invulnerable until the hearth happens). If you use petri before you leave group or without waiting long enough after leaving, it is possible to need to use another petri, or health pot and run at the end or use abilities that may have come off cooldown, etc. before the hearth timer finishes. This is known as "roaching out" and should only be used as a last resort. You might get some angry whispers if you use it and someone that stuck around dies. Most of the time it is easy to tell when a pull has gone wrong and you will die if you do not petri though. You will probably still get angry whispers in this situation but you will be alive and well while they are killing boars again in Durotar or Elwynn Forest. Good Luck.

Commento di megoobi

Haven't been able to find info on this so I'll ask here. I left party and didn't get the timer CD for leaving the instance. I waited and waited but ended up having to petri twice. Still no timer CD to port out. During this time my hunter pet took aggro and was killed - if my pet takes aggro after I leave the party, will I not be able to leave the instance?

Commento di Tolstan

Comrades, can you tell me if this item is still in addition to the Wrath of the Lich King? Is it possible to make it in 3.3.5 or has it been removed? I will be immensely grateful for the answer
