Thread: Stop the 33% Canape bandwagon!!!

It looks to me like all the arguments for not triple-buffing canape are simply arguments for not using canape at all. If you expect a fight may be longer than 10 minutes or short enough that regen doesn't help, then isn't canape just a bad choice however its made?

My question is this: given a choice of

1) Ahrisa 400 Focus, 45 minutes, 33 filling
2) Canape 650 Focus/Willpower, 10 minutes, 33 filling
3) Canape 750 Focus/Willpower, 12 minutes, 38 filling

is there any situation where #3 would be the best choice?

I can see situations where ahrisa is clearly superior and others where 33% canape is clearly best, plus some where the answer is none-of-the-above. But I can't see where the 38% canape is ever more than roughly equivalent to the 33% canape - where 2k-ish focus/willpower won't save you but 100 focus/willpower will provide enough benefit to justify the extra 5% stomach space.

Of course, if your customers are all on the 700+ canape bandwagon and you can't do both, I guess there's nothing wrong with giving them what they want

Well i am a human Master Combat Medic/Master Doctor w/ marksmen 4004, so depend on Mindshot1 with my 450ish krayt Jawa Ion Rifle.


For Battles, i use 3 canape's, get mind focus and willpower bufffed, and drink 2 brandies. On top of 800+ encumberance armor (90% composite) I always seem to run low on mind lolol. I finally bought a insane helm made with nightsister parts that freed up 200 mind on the HAM cost. Basically between healing people, using the /healmind command to brin back people before being deathblowed,using flameblankets, using cure poisons/diseases, Throwing poisons, getting shot by rifleman in my head, my mind is the first thing to go down, my health action obviously never drops below 90%. If the battles last any longer than 10 minutes i usually give up and retreat since i carry some hefty mind poisons that can take out most groups in like 30-40 seconds, just a matter of the rest of my group using mind shots to finish them off.


anyway thats why i like 3 stacked canapes, its lets mymind regen extremely quickly even with hefty armor on
