Hey just tested Dustecrepe's, I know I am a bit behind the curve here. Great Idea to balance out Combat medic. but the mechanics to limit the food sucks. you can use it once per 15minutes.. and With awesome resources, a master level Micronutriant suppliment and amazing successes on experimentation I got it to 25% time reduction. now not saying thats the highest possible, but lets take a look at this.
I can reduce one DOt time effect by 25% every 15 minutes
I can eat more than one wasting the extra foods, to generate a system message only.
they do not stack.
and... the effectiveness is low.
now I understand its an artisan food, but this is an awesome oppurtunity to balance out the CM AE poison in pvp. give us a Chef food that has a greater effect in this area, just like you did with the damage reduction foods. or make the dustcrepe more effective. take away teh 15 minute timer, and increase the filling and keep it an instant effect. so you can use em at least a few more times in combat.one simple change, and one requiring a new schematic. and for the new schematic, make it a quest/loot schematic maybe with a base of 50% time reduction, experimental up to 80% this would make this particular food effect much more valuable, and add some balance to the CM pvp effectiveness.
Just an Idea.

There are other foods that give you protection from getting poison or disease in the first place. Don't you think the two of these together would be effective enough? Just a question./

the food that gives defence bonus too resisting poison is not very effective, I tested it against master CM and i got one resist out of fiven attacks with a +20 resist food buff. so together they are marginally successful, untill the second poson sticks.

Well, it looks like it's doing what it's supposed to, then (20% resist = 1 out of 5), although maybe not as useful as we might wish. Was the CM using 100 power/effectiveness (not sure of the stat) poisons? It's too bad Cho-nor-hoola can only take a light additive, although even there we might be able to get the resistence up to 30. That'd give you 1 in 3 odds of shrugging off the poison, more against non-Master CMs.
