Intended useless unique items (Forbidden Taste)?

Yeah, lets remove all uniques that some player doesnt like. We would have no uniques then. :/

don't expect to perform well in end game if you rely on potions to do it . most good builds are built around removing life and mana potions as a main resource specifically because of that unreliability .

mana pots specifically , and the pots that have one use then dead are particularly clunky and not worth it.

There is a difference between relying on potions only to sustain yourself and using potions just in bad situations.

You dont get constant damage over time in PoE, damage you take come in spikes, so potions are great to counter it. To counter spikes with passive defences you need to invest all you've got into defence.

And you dont sacrifice much by taking +80% flask life recovery from tree, those nodes provide maximum life as well (and we all like life nodes, right?), while remaining 15% is just one point for Maradeur. I dont know, how you can skip that with new powerful flasks.

Mana pots are still useful in 50% regen/no regen maps. Relying on them all the time is bad idea, though.
