So per this thread:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Item-Restrictions-in-Raids/first

You can’t use boosters in raids.

So why is there a Raider’s Supply Package for sale on the gem store with boosters in it that you can’t use in raids?

According to the Dev posts, it didn’t seem that all Boosters were unable to be used. Just certain ones. I didn’t see Heroic Boosters on the ‘banned’ list, but maybe I don’t understand what they were saying. /shrug

Same with other consumables.

From what this post said I would assume Heroic Boosters would be disabled in raids, even if not specifically mentioned. Only ones that don’t give an edge to combat are said to be allowed.

MTX Combat Boosters – Speed, Might, Regen, Swim Speed (ect)
Food/Utility with +%Damage vs Monster Type – These will not have any benefit
Pet Consumables – Ogre Pet Whistle, Fire Elemental Powder (ect) will be disabled
Sigils of +%Damage vs Monster Type- These will not have any benefit
Sigils of Night – This will not have any benefit
Costume Brawl – Costume Brawl Pet summons will be disabled

I might have missed some things here, but you get the picture. Feel free to ask about specific items, however if they are likely to add a edge to combat, they are likely disabled.

Because a HEROIC BOOSTER is this: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Heroic_Booster

Not one thing about combat and instead all about XP and gathering. If you’d actually read the dev post you linked, you’d know that they’ve only banned combat boosting boosters (like the Strength one and the speed one).

Hopefully raids give a lot of exp then. I’m not real sure how useful a gathering booster would be.
