Guild Wars 2

+200 Power for 30s on kill
+70 Ferocity

+200 Condition damage for 30s on kill
+70 Precision

60% Chance to gain swiftness on kill
+10% Damage while moving

I can’t imagine anyone using the gain might/health on kill buffs for wvsw. So out of those 3 does anyone find them viable? In what situations specifically? i was just wondering if maybe they were an ideal food when outnumbered 1 vsmany or in zerg fights where u have many vs many.

Seaweed Salad and inferior food is frequently used as range food for zergs. It’s more about the +10% damage though. Power on Kill was a commonly used range food before Seaweed salad rose in popularity. Health on kill (Omnomberry Compote) wasn’t rare before Lemongrass Poultry Soup became frequently used.

Theoretically on kill food should work by killing the soft targets of your enemies and with the gained momentum/endurance being able to wear down the meleetrain.

That’s rather intersting I did not know that, honestly have never seen seaweed salad (or any variant) used anywhere in wvsw.

Is there a guide on what the damage bonus of seaweed salad does and does not work with? And how much power it equates to in relative terms (say you have 3000 power and 50 crit chance or something)?

I mean for example I run warrior as my main. Sword/shield + gs. Gs 5 (the lunge) doesn’t trigger it apparently. If gs5 doesn’t trigger it I would assume that any 1 press button that creates movement, where you can’t wasd, does not trigger the bonus increase.

So what would imply:
sword shield: 2, 4, f1
Gs: 2, 3. 5

yes, they are fairly effective in large scale organized groups, but lose effectiveness in small scale because you simply don’t get enough kills often enough.

it all boils down to the team comp and what the team could benefit from the most.
