Constant lack of food buffing even on EX is annoying the crap out of me.

[Khronikos]

What and the hell is wrong with the general player base here? I see literally almost no one stacking food even in high levels. I see so many of these dudes bite the dust by a hair when an HQ Button or the like would have put them over the top.... What happened to FF11 sensibility?

I know we don't have to buff but I love food in this game. And for EXs you should all be buffing if you aren't geared. It's crazy how many people totally ignore so many systems in this game.

What do you guys think?

In general a lot of food buffs aren't worth using on farm status things. Already over-geared as is, unless I am trying to beat my friend in a parse you can clear easily w/o it. Now, people who struggle often with these fights should always be using food :/

T5 is the only fight I'm clicking food on as a dps. When I tank EX titan/ifrit I pop food but that's because I'm not ilvl 90 yet.

Ex primals are piss easy DDR mechanics. You don't need more hp, more dmg, etc. Unless there is food that makes people not suck at moving out of bad things.

Did you manually click your party member though? Because the food buff is hidden unless you click on the person then it will be shown.

First question: How undergeared?

a stack of 99 food can last you a month or more, people are just lazy

You don't strictly need food to clear content, but

people are just lazy

Pretty much this. Most people can't seem to be bothered to level CUL and/or are inefficient at farming gil to buy off of MB. Then there's the issue of people throwing what little gil they make into housing.

It will last you exactly 49 hours and 30 minutes of play time without the FC buff.

for me food is only usefully in coil outside that every fight is manageable without food u'll just be wasting it

Food isn't like 1.23 or XI - It's largely only used for vit buff if anything, rarely do you see a true need for it, like make or break outside of the vit buff. Heck even on T5 you seen more people reallocate a bit of stats to Vit and use food to further boost VIT, not so much the additional buffs it gives. Since while gear in this game is meaningless in concept since next update renders prior gear useless, your gear has far more bearing than food ever will. Until they return food to the 1.23 state..for example:





Food isn't that important.
