Is DPS food even worth using?

I use Truffle HQ.

SO basically, If DPS is borderline then food is worth using. Otherwise, not so much. Is impression I get from the replies

I challenge you to go to a striking dummy and do your rotation for 3 mins. Once with out food and once with food. If it isn't at least 5% higher with food, I'll send you the cost of the food.

I very much doubt food available would add ~18-20 DPS It's not that good XD Maybe all 4 DPS combined using food

Why waste gil when you can craft it yourself

The question "worth it or not" will never bother

Because crafting be boring, lol

I use frog leg food (whatever it be called)

Unless you have it on complete and utter farm. Its worth it.

I havent had a single successful raid group that didnt use food.

TL;DR: USE FOOD ON EVERYONE, NOT JUST DPS.

More toons should take advantage of all meal and potions cool downs that always makes a difference in my damage. Add your primary stat potion to your rotation ant thank me later.

Sapphic Meow is clearly the kind of person who asks, "Why get a 100% on a test when I can pass with an 80%"

no sense in trying to help him.

I craft and use STR pots and potent posions.

I asked if VIT is more beneficial than dex/crit food. That if we go 15 det giving 3 str, and the crit 2 STR. thats only an increase of 5 DPS. If 1str=1DPS. 3300 damage over 11 minutes. 5 DPS in t8, thats only an increase of 16500 damage. Which if, as I stated previous, if you are bborderline to enrage than yes, if you 30 seconds or more from enrage when kill, then it becomes trivial.

I have a stack of HQ risotto that I use. So conclusions, don't jump to them, they make you look bad

Also question back at ya. Why Skillspeed on the novus and not Det, or at least crit?

BTW, I wasn't "looking for help" just opinions.

All food is basically like wearing an additional (tank) accessory with customisable stats depending on what you need.

Yes food is always worth using if you're currently in the process of "progression" or are in a pickup. Once you have stuff on farm I guess it's up to the party whether it's needed or not.

I asked if VIT is more beneficial than dex/crit food.

You keep asking that, but all food has VIT on it. No food has DEX or indeed any other base stat except Piety.

Same as with potions it gives a relatively small boost that still adds damage and ease encounters. If you are not anywhere borderline, you can easily omit food (and many do).
Food is more helpfull where there are requirements for HP (and always for tanks) as hp boost is more significant than damage boost.

For bard HQ Omlette gives around 2.2% DPS (~7.5 DPS) and HQ X-Potion gives 1.5% DPS (5 DPS).
HP boost is 4.5%

Pretty sure food gives me an extra 15~dps. That's pretty significant.
