This has now been changed to :

Increases your Agility by 35 and your critical strike rating by 20 for 1 hour

Good upgrade :)

Does anybody know if this stacks with mongoose?

Because I've heard mixed reviews. I've tried it, and I did not notice any difference in my attack power (agility). However, I noticed a VERY slight increase to my crit chance. About .3%.

But the numbers don't add up, what's the deal with this?

Elixir of Major Agility (B) + Elixir of Major Defense (G) = 3136 tank points
Elixir of Mastery (B) + Elixir of Major Defense (G) = 2976 tank points
Flask of Fortification (B+G) = 2898 tank points

These are my figures for crit rating from each when coupled with Kings. Agility may offer more benefits to some classes. Feel free to correct any errors. All results acquired from using WoWWiki's formulas, assuming a level 70 character. Also, if someone knows how to make an organized list, feel free to do so.

Just for those intersted, this provides about 2.35% crit for a druid, along with 2.45% dodge if you're into tanking.

best dps elixir there is for hunters, rogues, and feral druids

Comment by Mitosis

I use these quite often for tanking on my warrior when I'm feeling to cheap to burn a flask. Crit and +dodge? Yeah, why not. Cheap, with pretty good benefits. I'm never thinking to myself "Hmm, is this ZA group worthy of an Agility potion?". I just chug it and keep on going.

Almost as a good as Flask of Relentless Assault from the perspective of a hunter. Using the same itemization that blizzard uses.

I like to refer agility and crit rating as a solid stat and AP as a bloated stat. (Think 8 agility/crit gems and 16 AP gems)

120 AP from the flask is to me is about 60 solid stats.

35 agility + 20 crit rating from the elixir is 55 solid stats. (with kings= 58.5 solid stats)

Taking into consideration this elixir is about 1/20th the cost of a flask, not to mention leaving the guardian elixir slot free, I think this is better..

Yes, flask persists through death, but even if you wipe 15 times you will still come out spending less than a flask. And if you do wipe that much, you probably have other monetary concerns to worry about. Plus as a hunter you can FD and prevent at least half of the deaths if not all of them.

Raids don't last more than 3 hours a day in my guild. On average I end up using 3-4 of these mixed with draenic wisdom here and there.

This is also probably the best elixir for an enhancement shaman as it gives a crapload of crit. Crit is clearly very important for an enhancement shaman as it makes us more mana efficient and also procs flurry. So the choice would be between this and probably Fel Strength Elixir if you AP is low.

Alchemists get an inherent buff from elixirs in WotLK, they get a bonus on the time that they last, and the buff that they give, as long as it is an elixir or flask you can make yourself. Not sure on the crit rating difference, but they appear to give 43 AGI to alchemists with "Mixology", and last for 2 hours. Flasks last for a whopping FOUR HOURS if you have mixology (limited to flasks you can make yourself, does not work on shattrath flasks.)

Patch 3.02 : Changed from Battle to Guardian Elixier.

Edit: Seems to be an Bug. It overrides Guadian Elixiers. But the other Guardian Elixier seems to be in the Background without Bufficon.

Comment by hezec

Reduced the effect of Elixir of the Mongoose and Elixir of Major Agility.

Apparently going down from 35 agi and 20 crit to 30 agi and 12 crit. Lame.

Comment by goomba

anyone know if this would be better than http://www.wowhead.com/?item=39666 with http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=53042 ?

Comment by Elfgar

After patch 5.04 this elixir gave the error message "Target too low level" when I attempted to use it on my level 58 rogue on Tuesday 9/4/2012 even though the tool tip on the elixir stated that it was available for levels 55 or above. I placed a ticket with Blizzard and they referred me here (huh?). Happy Days! and Sweetness! Sorry, I don't want to be negative .... but ? It did work for me by level 60 one day later. (Bizzard exhibited no concern about their error in game code in reply to my ticket 5 days after I put it in) haha Blizzard referred me here for the solution so here it is. Elfgar
