Like Pikatta/Air Cake?

A few people have told me it doesn't, I'm just curious if I'm wasting fill space eating it.

I'm currently investigating whether or not the Melee Defense food works, but I have a hunch that this Dodge food doesn't work either. It wasn't really a scientific experiment, but while getting hit by about 10 pikets at the same time constantly and watching the damage numbers fly, I ate some Pikata. The number of misses in those numbers did not increase.

I use Pikatta Pie on my combat toon pretty frequently, I can tell a difference between when I use it and when I don't.

Yes it does work.

If you check your combat log before and after a few attacks you will notice a damage reduction after eating the dodge food.

This for a fact does work, you take slightly less damage and from my experiences your harder to hit.

Ive tested dodge foods with someone that doesnt have defensens aka Master enhancer. Pikatta pie does not work, or there is no way to measure the difference because its negligeble. I still do not know if this is based on the defenses, then it is obvious why it doesnt work.

i've tested it on my master chef who has literally no defenses. ranged defense 0, melee defense 0. she is CL 15 from having some scout and BE but no combat skills whatsoever.


i just had her default attack a level 7 nuna (green con to her), it hit her for 127 damage six times and never missed, without pikatta. healed myself up and ate some pikatta, it hit for 121 damage five times and missed twice before i had to call the fight a loss and run to safety.


clearly 0/6 misses without and 2/7 misses with the food isn't nearly enough for a statistical test, this was just a quick thing to do this morning when i read your post saying that there's no way to measure the difference, to see if they'd changed it on toons with no defenes. she gets hit for 6 points less damage, that to me shows some effect. and i've used it extensively on this toon when in danger areas (out harvesting for example) and also on my m def jedi. IMO it makesme get hit less in both cases, and pretty much all my combat toons eat pikatta pie or air cake when they might take a pounding.


but i definitely disagree with you about "if this is based on the defenses, then it is obvious why it doesnt work." i can see an effect evenon literally 0 defense toons.

This food works. It increases the diminishing latency of a creature that you are fighting missing you as opposed to hitting you on the second tuesday of the month immediately following the 3rd hotfix of any given publish.


I tested it. True story.

Would not leave home without Pikatta.

I've not bothered with tracking hard numbers because the effect is obvious on my toon.

With Aura and Pikatta, the flytext above my head is Miss, Miss, Miss, Miss, some red number, some red number, Miss, Miss, Miss. As soon as the Aura or Pie run out the misses decrease immediatly. I don't need to look at my buff icons to know one of them wore off.

I have tested this with a mls vs menh high acc vs low def(actually no def)
2 sets a 40 hits, i consistently missed 2 times every set.
1 with pie and 1 without.
So i must say i dunno, doesnt seem to be working, perhaps its more noticable with vegesparsine and pie. With dminishing returns, i would say no, its not measurable.

They do work but you will notice Higher rate depending on your defense status. and yes you will hit harder since foes miss more your accuracy remains level.
