Guild Wars 2

I’d like to know if you guys use consumables(foods, sharpening stones etc..) 24/7 in PvE or only during raids, fractals and Dungeons?

Thanks

When I remember to use it i do

I use them in WvW and when doing story bosses. Not when just running around on the open world PvE.

No… I wouldn’t even know what to use…

My female charr scarfs them down like a fat lady that loves apples.

The only ones I run open world are Halloween and Wintersday for magic find and Karma bonuses. Halloween is super cheap. Wintersday food runs respectably cheap, but the utilities are consistently run upwards of 5-10s, on par with their basic counter parts.

If there was a UI set of slots to put consumables in that I could click or hot key, I’d more likely remember to nosh the nummies. As it is, it’s a lot of bother to remember to open my inventory, find the food/utility/boost of my choice, and use them.

Besides, one really truly doesn’t need them in PvE open world. Except XP boosts while trying to level masteries, those are wonderful and I do tend to pop those. However I have max masteries right now so I only need the boost when a new mastery line arrives.

Why hello, PoF.

I use consumables 100% of the time. There are plenty of awesome consumables on the TP worth mere copper that make your open world experience significantly easier. Seriously, go buy some Mintberry Ice Cream at least.

If I remember to do so, yes I’ll use it every time I can.

(I wish there are auto-use feature for consumable when they run out of time) :p

Awesome, didn’t know about the mintberries, I’ll definitely grab some!

Thanks for your comment I appreciate.

I use them all the time… unless I forget to use them all the time…

Rarely. I should but I don’t.

I pretty much only use the Magic Find, Gold Find, and Karma consumables. I mean, I have the actual combat ones, but I only use them once every other month when I do a raid or Fractal.

My ascended gear pretty much makes food and potions unnecessary for all open world content, which is why I go for the loot-based buffs instead.

I use them when I know I’m going to be in combat a lot, like when I’m doing a big meta-event or I’m in WvW. If I remember. When I’m playing normally I spend too much time gathering, talking to NPCs, falling off the scenery and doing other things where the consumables would be wasted for it to be worthwhile.

But I don’t go out of my way to get good ones, it’s just whatever I’ve got.

I don’t think they make a big difference. Unless you’re really serious about getting the best possible stats it doesn’t matter too much whether you use them or not.

Very rarely. Usually only if I see someone has put them out for general use, at times I have put them out for general use also.

Only other time is when like Wintersday when you need to eat X sweet for the title thing, but then I can’t do jumping puzzles so it looks like I won’t ever get that part, lol, oh well I still have fun playing.

I use them pretty much only when I do fractals, so that’s about once a year.

I rarely use them, I keep meaning to use MF boosting ones, but even when I have a load in my inventory I just simply forget to use them.

fractals/WvW only and sometimes in dungeons depends on path..

I only use food in Fractals, at world bosses and HoT meta events (I don’t raid). My food is more of a convenience item so I don’t have to focus that much on avoiding damage. I use Candied Dragon Rolls which heal me when I land critical hits (so basically with every hit).

I only use nourishment in T4 fractals. Your personal damage is much more important in a team of 5 than in a zerg with 100.
