The difference between the brock and wolf potions

the-witcher-2

What's the difference between the brock and wolf potions? They're both described as increasing critical effect chance for the same attributes but brock costs more and also has a negative effect. Wolf has no negative effects. It seems as if brock is redundant?

If you go the way of the alchemist there are some advantages to being poisoned. Also the negative effects of potions can be lessened/removed. Thus you might prefer to use a potion with higher toxicity if you specialize in alchemy.
