Should drink buffs stack with food buffs?

I dont know of anyone that uses drink buffs for combat. Everyone uses food. It might be used for a few niche builds but its definitely not common. I use drinks for writs and to level provisioning. Other than that, i never bother. I think they would see more use if they could be stacked with food or if their effects were either greatly increased or changed.

Do you think drinks should stack with food?

    You can already combine drinks and food. They have hybrid foods that provide regen + max stats and the numbers are adjusted accordingly.

    Back in 2014 they said several times they were going to make it so you could use both. Instead they came up with event recipes that give you something like that.

    If you could stack the 2 best food and drinks it would be way overpowered. You guys seem to think zos is a group of *** who don't know what they do.

    If you could stack them then there wouldn't be any incentive to upgrade provisioning for the blue and purple recipes.

    While it would be absolutely broken to be able to use a food and drink at the same time, drinks absolutely need to be improved. Your max pool of magicka/stamina affects your damage directly, whereas recovery not only does not, but it matters less than your max pool.

    Drinks are useless and anyone that says otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about.

    You must not know that Witchmother's and Dubious are drinks, which I find pretty comical considering your last sentence there.

    This was the original intent of Provisioning but they scrapped that idea. I personally think Food + Drink would have been a good way for them to go as well but they're the devs.

    Hmm... I don’t know. The way it is now requires some decisions to be made. Would allowing them to stack throw off the game balance too much?

    I’ve got food and drink items that both increase my stats, which would be almost an extra 8k health and magicka when combined. That’s a pretty substantial boost.

    So your response to me saying drinks are useless is to mention literally the only two that aren't totally useless, and aren't even widely used. Good job I guess?

    That would go far in undoing some of the sustain nerfs. :lol:

    I think everyone would roll provisioning and fish for a living though!

    All that leading to; Fishing OP! Pls nerf!

    For those that say that witchmothers and dubious already do this. They do, however you lose a large amount of an important resource to gain a small amount of a not so important one. Recovery rate just isnt a good option when compared to others available for provisioning.

    I'm fine with it but I do think there should be a way to improve recipes - maybe this will be feature in one of the future expansions - food crafting, in the same way that we can combine different strength glyphs in enchanting for instance. That way I may be able to craft a Salmon-Millet Sop that lasts two hours instead of one!

    Just the buff to health recovery since you can apply defile and bam you get 200 regen from drinks. Making it pretty bad. ZOS should focus on the green food and drinks. It terrible! Only players who start a game will use that. The stats should be twice as much than the blue provisions. All players use is just blue/purple/gold. Sure there is plenty of diversity meals and drinks out there but if you want to stack a lot in one stat green should be the option.

    The holiday food has it covered and they are balanced already.

    Seems like green pact + bone pirates + ozorga pie + dubious would be a bit crazy. I’m sure lots of people would come up with better, but you can see where it could go.

    This would bring us back to approximately pre-Morrowind sustain. I am all for that!

    I think some changes would be needed though, so drinks only gave regen and foods only gave max stats. Then you couldn't stack multiple max stat consumables (would be a little too powerful).
