Should I wait till some of my stats are at max before taking it? or just take it right now at 37?

Heheh, I have had the same problem many times. Generally, it kind of depends on the character you're playing. Obvious, I know 
. You'd probably have to share the race/class you're playing. You also have to weigh the benefits of either getting an extra category point before the end of the game, or the possibility of exceeding max stats. I've found that if you aren't hard pressed for an extra category point by the time you've cleared one of the prides, it's usually worth it just to wait until you clear the rest of the prides. Around that time, depending on race, you should be level 45, give or take a few levels. By the time you're level 45~, three of your stats are going to be maxed, so if you're really impatient, you can quaff it then and there.

Depends on your builds and your current situation as equipment/performance.
First off the bile could give you all -3s so its not like waiting will guarantee wyou something.
Second off there is the cat point, if you need the cat point for the build don't bother waiting.
Third, do you have things scaling off a stat or off a power? If it power don't bother waiting. If it stat then yeah the fact the bile can go past 60 to maybe 66 is nice.
In the end I wouldn't really bother waiting, I might make sure a stat I am raising is at 60 by the time I get by favoring one stat instead of spreading things out (even if less advantageous).
In theory yes its optimal stat-wise to wait. But in practice adding 6 to magic is only 1-2 points of spell power if you have goo spell power. If you are using a staff with a 150% magic modifier and have arcane might for another +50% those 6 points in magic are considerably more damage though.
And its not like you have any clue whether you get much of anything in the stat you want.
Basically for characters that get a lot of damage out weapon's stat scaling maybe you might consider it. Beyond that I doubt its worth the opportunity cost of not having the cat point, unless you have little use for another cat, then sure wait some.
