Adversaries...how to improve the grind?

After this weekend’s event, the adversary grind is wearing on me already. I hope after maxing out the potion strengths and # of uses on SOS, and maxing out the adversary profession tree, it doesn’t take SO much spell energy without spending 2-3 potions every time. Without being able to brew potions at 1/2 speed, we’ll mow through the potions fast.
I’m a maxed Auror, about 4 rungs completed so far on the Auror adversary ladder, and it still takes me 10-11 spell energies to take Draco out without using a Wit Sharpening or Est. potion. And taking that long then requires me to use a heal potion. You REALLY have to mow through potions for Narcissa and the dragons and we haven’t even gotten to the lethal ones yet.
Is there something I’m not thinking of that would cut down on potions and spell energy needed, other than just grindin the profession adversary build?
REALLY hoping the profession adversary build cut way down on potions and spell energy needed to take a level 3 out as you finish the build. Otherwise this will get really tedious quickly.

max out extims and/or wit sharp from sos trees as well as healing potion, both potency and brewing time nodes (the more damage from 1 potion= fewer potions used) and if you havent do all the feared nodes in new tree. But yeah so far the data seems to suggest this:
play Magi to save potions but use a lot more SE
Play Auror to use potions, but save time & energy
and just look at Professor like Chrome looks at Internet Explorer.
Personally Ive made over 400 dada from this event but my potions stocks feel like Armageddon (auror here) from 130 potents im down to 50, 29 strongs from 120, 49 healings from 150, 28 wits from 79, lol....I guess imma be renti' the extra cauldron daily from now on hah.
So, if you have a lot of SE on the ground and/or a lot of inns where you play and can play for a time at a time i'd suggest maxing out both of magiz's existing trees and going full magiz on adversaries. A few ppl in a discord im in have harvested 200-400 dada as magizs w a fracrtion of the potions I've used, I would too but ive not the patience to smack something 20-40 times for it to die xD
As a professor I cry tears of blood T_T
as a professor...max out either auror or magiz and have some fun. lol professors are nice in forts, theyre hugely unbalanced in overworld map and advers...
That's the thing I've no desire (nor the green book or spellbook) to multiclass :/ even if I did I can't afford to spare spellbook at the moment to do so, not before I max out precision against feared adversaries at least.
But Wait... If I do a quick calculation you had at least 479 potions... That would make you maximum energy something like at least 515... That's considering you would not have any other potion which is doubtfull... O_o
And here I tough I was too much with 305 ^^
I have 1425 SE vault, and i spent more than 500 potions this weekend....imma hafta replenish them now lol, i also have fully maxed out all 3 professions (not the adversarial new plans obvs) and fully starred all pages explor/challenge all existing non-advers. pages. And during this event I made and spent 604 dadas and have 9 to spare, lol...I also walked 7hrs on sat and 4-5 hrs on sun and today.
well that's impressive ^^
With so many DADA book, did you by any chances, already bought SAGE ADVICE ? "Book III, lvl 42 node" for the RARE Spellbook gift ? Suposedly this is giving the rumored "Magnificent Runestone gift" but I could not find anyone who bought it prior to the event. I'm dying to know what's inside those gifts.
EDIT : I supose you managed to get both the Draco and the Fenrir page to gold ? how many fragment are required to re prestige the foundable once the page is gold ?
didnt manage gold, broom and fenrir's gang member just. wouldnt. drop...but im ok w what i managed, got both placed on silver other than those 2 images got all other images ready to prestige to bronze if i can find 1-2 things, got 604 dada books out of it, more than all the months since sos release combined x100 lol
gold gift (100)
potent extra charge (80)
ex rune node (90) (sage advice)
maxed wit sharp: (8x3, 10x2, 15x2)
maxed strong extim (20)
invig extra +1 focus (30)
red book nodes (hogw, mom, comc, mags, oddities (20x5)
spell mastery node (17x4)
finished depart denial node (3x14)
and some non-dada nodes that got ungated.
and yeah got sage advice but altho i fortressed last night i was already past the 100 gifts so i didnt get anything.
cant dm here, so if ya want come join us in https://discord.gg/TmyWRsj5 can trade gifts (separate channels), coordinate for fort battles over discord and so on, and can dm you my friend code if you want for daily gifts (I send only preem stuff, no basic **** lol), just dont want to place it over public forums.
and yeah i dont think anyone could have done it prior to the event, considering you needed 80 dada to get extra potent charge to ungate the 90 dada sage advice node. 80+90 lol, ppl just managed to gather 100 for the gold gift (preferred client) last month (daily dot for x5 months straight to get that one since release of sos).
So we have the answer several people already got the magnificent runestone gift it's 2500 XP and 2 Spellbook.
I've not seen it yet, only been getting ex runes so far.
