For what it's worth, any mage typically has the upper hand against a warrior when it comes to who can burn more DR preps without necessarily feeling it.

That may not always help when the prepped-up warrior comes for their item back and you can't effectively run them off or distract them, but in many fights the mage simply has to work the warrior into a scenario where his potions are going to fail long before their wands are, for example.

Similarly, a warrior is both much more limited in the total # of ticks worth of certain preps he can carry as well as where he can get those preps from, the latter also giving his opponents the advantage of knowing where he's likely going to go to resupply.
