Alchemy - Why waste points with Solvent Proficiency?

jacoby.swift1b16_ESO

Why do stat-buffing alchemical potions NOT improve with their level?

Why have I spent 5 skill points to level my solvent proficiency to V1, when for example, the level 10 potion to increase Weapon Crit. which gives me 300 points (30%) for 10 seconds, is EXACTLY THE SAME as the V1 potion to increase Weapon Crit. - 30% increase for 10 seconds?

Are Health, stamina and magicka top-up potions the only things that increase with solvent level?

If so, this seriously needs to be changed.

Can't think of any.. Unstoppable, invisible and detection potions are both a fixed amount regardless of level as well.

Well, for my archer, the only useful potion is Columbine + Dragonthorn + Water Hyacinth.
As a Nightblade, I'm getting 38% crit for 13 seconds. Which makes me crit more than 2/3 attacks. Too bad I won't dish out too many of them since it takes forever to charge a heavy bow attack. So I end up doing Venoms+lights or Bombards+lights (for AoE).

Ur right, only positive and negative Magika, Health, Stamina, Armor, Resistance, Weaponpower and Spellpower pots change values by level.
Additionaly crits are only 200 since 1.3.3.

So that you can use whatever current solvent drops out of the containers you open? I mean a my characters pick up a selection of Natural to Pristine from early on in the game and you can't use Pristine without leveling up Solvent Proficiency.
