VR10 drink: increase Health, Magicka and Stamina Recovery by 144 for 2 hours (5 second cooldown)

So if I recall correctly.. the current VR5 drink i've got is 8.0 H, M, S. This would probably put the buff at around the 30-40% margin. If Stamina and Magicka did not increase damage you could make a case for regen food during raid boss fights probably when encounter time is large enough that regen food gives more stats than raw food, but certainly with generally low encounter times in solo and small group play and regen via heavy attacks, I see absolutely no reason for anyone to use regen food.

Thanks for posting Kimboh

this or until stam/magica from buffood does not increase the dmg of associated attacks.

I agree with you guys, I just can't see how there is a compelling choice between food and drinks like they are trying to say there is.

The only thing I could really see being useful might be Magicka regen for pure healers. If you aren't dealing enough damage to make +dmg worth it and you are more worried about sustained healing I could maybe see a case for magicka regen food, but otherwise +dmg is just too powerful to give up in almost every situation.

For the classical tank style, +health all the way, you aren't worried about health regen in a group with a healer anyways.

The system seems like it would feel much better if you could just use both.

SO. ALL. OF. THIS. ^^^ I cannot believe they changed their minds on this. I'm so ticked off about it!

You cannot believe anything they say is more like it.

There was a post recently from ZoS stating they wanted there to still be a compelling choice between the two so they 'significantly' buffed drinks. However, a 30% buff is negligible at best and does not present a compelling reason to use drinks over food, mainly due to the +dmg you get from stat food.
