Is DPS food even worth using?

[Altimis]

Might be worth it in tight dps checks like Turn 8. Otherwise, not really. But if you've got gil to burn, why not?

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)

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

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.

If 1str=1DPS.

This is your problem.... That is not a formula. By that math I should be doing 572 dps! So something that adds 5 str does not only add 5 dps. Would you please just go parse yourself on a dummy, with and with out food so you can see it is a significant increase in dps... Then we can end this stupid thread.
