Guild Wars 2

Does anyone use these in their builds?

Is the -28% condi duration worth ~ 4 – 5s compared to -36% at >15s?

Is the 30% endurance regen and 80% might on dodge worth ~ 2s compared to 40% and 100% at ~11s?

Just curious to see if they are worth using – the disgusting price of lemongrass and now even leek/poultry is forcing me to look at other options – I do not want to have to farm to earn back enough coin simply to be able to afford more consumables (exaggeration, but the point stands – you need to earn back at least 20s/30mins to cover both consumables if using leek/poultry, which can restrict freedom in play)…

Any other foods where you lot are making compromises based on price?

Pizza. Condi dmg/duration on my roaming thief. I make these for myself but I don’t make the top one. The truffles are simply too expensive to spend on this.

With such differences of prices I’d go for the -36% and 100% might on dodge. Their price is still quite low and you’ll notice the improvement.

For condition duration, go for Koi Cake (~4s). Gives you max condi duration for 20 min instead of 30, but at a third part of the price of 30 min version. For more healing, you can try Omnomberry Pie (~6s). And Plate of Truffle Steak (12s) for flat DPS boost.

Apart from that, there aren’t more interesting foods at a reasonable price.

I have noticed a difference stepping down to the -28%, although not game breaking so I’m coping with it for now.

Will likely step back up to -36% once I’ve built up a decent reserve of gold again (I’m very low on coin at the moment).
