Has anyone tested the new HAM system with food and buffs in general on the TC? I must admit I sort of understand the new system, but can't quite figure out what impact it will have on us (and docs, spice, etc.)

I've seen various posts claiming the sky is falling, but wanted to hear from my own people what is going on.

Thank you

check the brawler forum. There is a thread up now talking about how the new system is garbage, but the correspondat puts some light on it there.

From how I understand it, the new regen rates are so fast, you dont need high secondary stats to increase regen rate much, or worry too much about HAM costs.

I cannot test this, as my TC char doesn't even have one box of anything filled yet , but if this is the case, then half the chef market just disappeared.

MOst fighters bought sunburns, vercupti, angerian etc to increase secondaries, to increase regen rates & lower HAM costs, so if the new system is as fast at regenning as I'm hearing, only doctors, artisans & BE's will be needing secondary stat buffs.
If this is the case, then the changes are extremely short-sighted, and should not be introduced until after the Chef rebalancing, if that ever happens.
If not, and the changes to HAM costs in combat go through, the chef is going to get the shaft again :/


As I say, I haven't had the opportunity to test, I am only going off 3rd party reports - and I dont like to rely on those unless they are from someone I trust.

If someone with a decent skill char on TC could shed some light on the new HAM system in action on the TC with regards to regeneration rates and costs with low secondary stats, and then buffed, we can get a better picture as to whether chef has been ripped to pieces again.
