Watch out with these statements. I tried solo bandos with just brews and overloads and massively failed. Why? Because overloads only restore the difference between your lvl and the boosted lvl every 15 sec (which is roughly 25 lvls). If you brew a lot, you will easily go -25, so the overloads wont be able to restore your drained lvls. I was at bandos wondering why I wasnt hitting, looked at my stats, and saw an embarassing 35 str. Even with overloads that takes almost a minute to restore. Hmm arma seems to hit a lot less than bandos though, it is only very rarely that you need more than 300 LP (weird) per 15 seconds. But yeah it's still neccesary to take super restores instead of prayer potions for emergencies/healing after overloads dose etc.
