it really shouldn’t be that detrimental to you, impact really was only to supers where devs felt it was a bit cheesy anyway
Everything has been buffed over the years, (quite a bit even), so you shouldn’t feel the need to stack every consume imaginable for regular MC content even on HC, and ex resist or lifesteal potion should possibly be seen as like a gap filler until that build aspect was more directly addressed, or at most complementary.
At the same time potion system will change in FoA Grim Misadventure #188 - A Look Back at 2024...'s Work on New Potions! possibly make things even more impactful than just a generic free passive stat that could be perceived as less interesting both use and building wise. (tho i’m not quite 100% sure elixirs/oils turned out were components to be used in the final version of that afterall, but i think Z floated that idea after 1.2 oil changed atleast iirc)
