Master Surgeon

Master Surgeon is a notable Ascendancy passive skill for the Pathfinder. It recovers life when you use a flask, and grants a flask charge whenever you deal critical strike. It also grants Bleeding and Corrupted Blood removal on flask use.

Mechanics

• Gaining a flask charge is on a 0.1 second cooldown. Therefore, a character can receive at most ten flask charges per second.
• Gained flask charges are applied to a single random flask.
• Gaining flask charges from critical strikes does not stack with other sources (e.g. The Harvest)

Version history

Version	Changes
3.14.0	Now removes Corrupted Blood when you use a Flask. (previously Bleeding only, but prior 3.14 Corrupted Blood was counter as bleed ; now Corrupted Blood is a physical damage over time)
3.13.0	Added Recover 6% of Life when you use a Flask. Removed 30% increased Life Recovery from Flasks. The cooldown for gaining a flask charge from effects which grant them on a critical strike has been reduced to 0.1 seconds (from 0.2).
2.5.0	A character can now only receive one flask charge per Critical Strike every 200ms. This is shared across all flasks. The Harvest and Master Surgeon now follow this rule. Instead of giving a charge to each of your flasks, they will only grant it to one. The Master Surgeon Node now has 100% chance to trigger (up from 15%) to help compensate for this change.
2.2.0	Added to the game.
