Hey guys I feel like this is legit so I’m posting it. Want to win Belcher’s Bluff vs the NPCs? Cast your spirit elite before starting. I can see why ANET got rid of food but, tell ya what, how often do rangers get a break, ya know? Use your class mechanic to win, why not? I hope this helps anyone who hasn’t beaten it yet. For the record, I only used it on the Norn because he was cheating: he critiqued every turn that day. How was I supposed to beat that?
Update: this has been patched

Tip for people still struggling: spam your bluffs. It’s what got me through the human and the norn. For the norn, the trick is to keep Drink Water and Belch available when he uses his signature move. This means just keep spamming bluff every turn whenever possible. When he blocks your bluff/uses Critique, that’s the time to use Drink Water/Belch. Preferably Belch first, because drinking water removes 1 drink requirement for it. If both are on cooldown, that’s the time to use Boast.
This should work with the human too.

I thought the one in divinity’s reach was harder. For whatever reason she never let her signature move lapse.
I just out-bluffed her when she started her constant signature “You will not heal”.
but norn…
after 15 minutes trying to broke him I gived it up – he should be nerfed :P
“-Shield is meant to be broken!”
“-and on this occasion I keep mine plate armors”

The problem was that she would catch my bluff every now and then and drank water whenever it was up. Meanwhile, I couldn’t build up for belch without losing a lot of health that couldn’t be recovered.
