Maximum stamina and magicka recovery consumable

Asardes

I've waited for the new festivals with some excitement, thinking they will introduce a more varied combo of buffs in the new recipes. What I've found instead that they just made foods & drinks that have identical effects to those already present in the game, or introduced with the previous festival, while leaving out a 2 effect combo that would actually make a lot of sense for some builds, namely tanks that have sufficient buffs from racials and gear to get their health close to 30K - which is about as high as it needs to be - without actually investing any points in health.

Having a large stamina pool makes a lot of sense for a DK tank, because:
- luminous shards restore 25% of the stamina pool
- helping hands passive restores 5% of the stamina pool from earthen heart abilities
- you can't regenerate stamina while blocking, so when you fill the more you fill the better
- pierce armor, heroic slash, vigor, ring of preservation are all stamina skills
- ultimates restore all resource pools, including stamina

Having high magicka regeneration also makes a lot of sense because:
- many other utility skills consume magicka
- you can regenerate that while blocking
- you can trade it for stamina, using earthen heart abilities, from the said passive (ex. ingenous shield)

At the moment we have:
Maximum Magicka + Maximum Stamina - Crisp and Crunchy Pumpkin Snack Skewer (Witches Festival), Jagga Drenched "Mud Ball" Recipe (New Life Festival), 1-3 other recipes at each level tier in the base game
Maximum Magicka + Stamina Recovery - Crunchy Spider Skewer (Witches Festival)
Maximum Magicka + Magicka Recovery - Ghastly Eye Bowl (Witches Festival)
Magicka Recovery + Health Recovery - Bowl of Peeled Eyeballs (Witches Festival), Bethnik Twice Spiked Ale (New Life Festival), 1-3 other recipes at each level tier in the base game
Maximum Magicka + Health Recovery - Frosted Brains (Witches Festival)
Maximum Stamina + Stamina Recovery - Lava Foot Soup-and-Saltrice (New Life Festival)
Maximum Stamina + Health Recovery - Bergama Waning Fire (New Life Festival)

We don't have:
Maximum Stamina + Magicka Recovery - N/A

There is only one purple 3 effect consumable, but the each of the effect is individually weaker than it would have been for a 2 effect one, and the extra health is useless to builds like mine because of existing health bonuses:
Maximum Magicka + Maximum Health + Magicka Recovery - Witchmother's Potent Brew (Witches Festival)

I would just like to see a max health max stamina max stamina recovery event food. Basically the stam version of witches brew.

In the mean time I realized that the maximum magicka + magicka recovery consumable is actually pretty effective on my tank. It already has 27.8K health and 23.8K stamina, and Ghastly Eye Bowl brings my max magicka to about 18.1K and recovery to 1.4K. I can spam chains and talons and don't run out. And I don't even have the LA passives or optimized my CPs yet.

Maybe they are avoiding that combination as too overpowered for stamina builds? Weapon abilities etc. scaling off max stamina, and most class abilities being magicka based.

Well, they just added that with Jester's festival. But in the mean time I realized max magicka and magicka recovery is actually better for my tank build.

Candied Jester's Coins (blue drink)
Increase Max Stamina by 4256 and Magicka Recovery by 425 for 2 ohurs. (6 second cooldown)

but I think the best is

Dubious Camoran Throne (purple food)
Increase Stamina Recovery by 319 and Max Stamina and Max Health by 3192 for 2 hours. (6 second cooldown)

It will make quite a nice combo with the Bone Pirate set for PvP.
