Spell power/crit potions and the sorcerer

HebrewHatchet

As a sorcerer, I use power surge (which I think grants major sorcery) and inner light (which I think grants major prophesy). Major sorcery increases spell damage, while major prophesy increases spell crit. Any potions that I know how to make that increase spell crit and/or spell damage do it by granting major prophecy or major sorcery, so I don't think these stack. Do they? Are these potions useless for my particular build?

Yes, if you are using panacea of spell power then you don't need to use inner light and power surge since the Major Sorcery and Prophecy from the pot does not stack with the skill. Even so inner light is nice as it provides 7% Magicka (with the Mage guild passive) which increases your damage/healing. The only benefit of using power surge is that it provides heals on crits and is cheaper than pots and there is a short window between pots where you won't have the buff unless you have the Potion Boost Glyphs to make it last 45 seconds.
