The intent was just to make my standpoint on the subject known, since I'm actually not too fond of getting involved in balancing debates, but if it's necessary, alright.

1: As Sarinpa said, potions tend to be limited, since you have to put a lot of time into gathering necessary ingredients just to make a single one of them. Magic, on the other hand, comes from a more immediately available and renewable source.

2: Potions sure do look powerful on a single target, but they can only be used on a single target, and one that's right next to you at that. There are multiple skills capable of healing AOE and from a distance, and for a total often greater than these potions can accomplish. And can be used repeatedly.

3: Even if you ignore potion sickness and how quickly your opponent may be able to deplete your HP, the usefulness of a potion can vary greatly. It can be more potent on a single target than a healing skill, or it can actually end up being less potent. It all depends on the target's VIT. The only time it's better for sure is when you near the level cap.

For these reasons, I disagree.
