Thread: Action Regen Bonuses Do Not Work At All
Message Edited by Phaylen on 08-22-2005 08:34 AM
Perpetuating a myth I'm afraid. Regen foods DO WORK but maybe dont work as you expect them too. Because regen is so slow to start with, spamming specials tells you virtually nothing. You need to completely deplete HAM bar then time how long it takes to get back to 100% with food and without. This rumour keeps arising because we cant see regen stats since CU. Tryit for yourself and you will see that regen foods decrease regen time by about 10% BUT THEY DONT STACK WITH THE 20% FROM SPICES. If you pop a Booster Blue then the Spiced Tea will NOT do anything, without the Booster Blue the Spiced Tea will give a mind regen bonus of about 10%.
I have tested this so many times recently that I am even starting to doubt, but the results of EXTENSIVE testing always seem to bear out the 10% bonus. Firing off Headshot2 5 times IS NOTextensive testing.
Tell the next Jedi you fight that his mind regen food is not working so it's not worth his while taking it and see what reaction you get (I guarantee the word "noob" will figure prominently in his reply
)

I've noticed a difference when I use my foods when fighting elite and boss marks. I use booster blue, accarragm, synthsteak (right before I attack), kanali wafers, snow cakes, and sometimes crispics. I haven't timed anything but I do notice my action and mind regens skyrocket when using this food combo. It regens much slower without using any foods/spices, etc
