Back-Alley Gourmand vs Order's Wrath

Hullooooo,

Back-Alley Gourmand
5 items: While you have a food buff active, your Critical Damage and Critical Healing is increased by 13%.
Aren't food buffs active for about 2 hours?
Isn't this better than:

Order's Wrath
(5 items) Adds 943 Critical Chance, Increases your Critical Damage and Critical Healing by 8%.
This add crit chance which is more than the above


ie
Increase Max Health by 4620, Max Stamina and Magicka by 4250, and Health Recovery by 462 for 2 hours. These effects are scaled based on your level.
Isn't Back-Alley Gourmand a decent choice in PvP?

Anyone use this in PvP - I never hear about it.

Tankz,

Z

    Maybe a year ago or more they were both pretty common in pvp for crit-heavy builds, especially for Templar. Before the changes to sorcs that made max mag good again, they also sometimes used either of them. Generally, I think Gourmand slightly wins out but Order's wrath is much more flexible in that it can be any weight. Both are fine to use.

    The crit damage cap would be a factor and, unless it has been changed, I think the cap is 125%. It's possible the extra 5% crit damage from BAG could be lost. Orders Wrath, while it offers 5% less crit damage, it has extra crit chance. So, basically, discover what your character's crit damage is during combat and decide from there.

    Might be joking in comments.
