(Advantage: you can't forget to use it or go to use it too late, disadvantage: you can't uneat the food if the fight goes well and you didn't need the buff.) Maybe my view is skewed by running skirmishes (tier 1, not the fancy tough ones) on my Champion, but there are definitely Lieutenant pulls that go badly where I need cooldowns plus consumables to survive (and end the encounter very low on morale to boot).Green Armadillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564045048380177626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-71112576317586004412010-03-02T13:07:15.575-05:002010-03-02T13:07:15.575-05:00The only food I will ever use is in combat power r...The only food I will ever use is in combat power regen, and even there only in really tough instances. The other options aren't nearly compelling enough to bother lugging around a stack. <br /><br />My downtime in between combats is pretty close to zero without any food. I also can't imagine that slightly better in combat health regen is going to determine whether I live or die in most situations. On the rare occasions I do get killed, it's not likely to be a near thing . . .Yeebohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028940396189544294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-51018347104917399892010-03-02T11:32:13.495-05:002010-03-02T11:32:13.495-05:00I very rarely have to deal with out of combat down...I very rarely have to deal with out of combat downtime in this game, so for me the choice will always be the in-combat food type.Blue Kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837719824734379806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-86973756523825942752010-03-02T09:48:08.270-05:002010-03-02T09:48:08.270-05:00I would call the food types "dungeon food&quo...I would call the food types "dungeon food" and "world food".<br /><br />There is not much out there that can kill me easily, so I would always eat the out of combat food.<br /><br />This said, is this a good or a bad way to differentiate food?<br /><br />(BTW, your assumption is a bit off, if I die, the chance that this food, that food or no food would have changed that is not always given. In fact it would not have mattered most of the time, given my LOTRO experiences.)<br /><br />I am not sure how to answer this, but this is an example how I would play: out of combat regen food. If I see a group that I deem dangerous, I will eat some incombat regen food before.Longaschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315739202508784897noreply@blogger.com
