I was just speaking from my own experience. I've tried plenty of strategies, and the ones incorporating that potion didn't seem to work any better than those that did not. The lowered Dexterity is also a big drawback if you prefer using archers, unless you use even more potions to counteract it or happen to have a spell to do so. I've never met anyone who didn't say that potions of mirrored eyes are by far the most effective defense against basilisks. If you can't beat them within 5-10 rounds (depending on your method of protection), then you probably shouldn't be fighting them.
