There are too many loopholes to still make it basically the same with the suggestions provided. I agree with @TheZombieMuffin Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Bump - I would still like to see the strength potion change from strength 2 to strength 1. From experience, this is the only logical solution to the problem people are complaining about. As well, I have BFRP and I'd be perfectly okay with this change because it would still make the kit take less hits to kill other players and if the other player damages you a fair bit, you can run away with speed 2 and heal up then re-engage for round 2.
Yes- Just making it strength1 is a nice, simple change, something that won't confuse new buffer users (like causing other potion effects, cutting time, etc.) Of course, it'll balance the kit some more as well.
