I'm currentlya MP/MBH and seem to burn through my action bar in the blink of an eye which is a recipe for death against most knight marks I fight. How do you all work around the action depletion issues....what kinda foods/spice do you find work best to combat the problem?

Let the higher DPS work for you. Use your state specials and then for damage, use a marksman ability until your action regens...once it regens, you can use the high damage specials. You can't use all elite specials without some food or spices and not have your action drain right out. Save your action for rooting, KDs and reapplying states. Just because it is a slighly lower damage skill doesn't mean it still isn't useful.

Just eat some Blob candy, kanali wafer, and some teltier noodles and away you go. I made a bunch of this and ate 1 of each before we hit the lair. I was doing adv critical, torso shot, body shot one after the other and I do not believe the action bar ever got below half.

I eat a pixie, Accragm, Brandy, Vagnarian Canape, and a Kiwik Cujo Swil. It puts my ham like at 4k and action regens fine.

Are you using a weapon or weapons with high SAC ?
I went from a weapon with 122 SAC to a 94 and that has worked well for me. Might not be the end all be all fix but maybe a good start.

Buff your action by way of drink/foods etc.
Also don't forget when buying a gun look at the ACTION COST stat as well.
I bought a laser rifle that had 105 action cost, just realized this the other day, found a different vendor with similiar damage stats and noticed his rifle was set at 95. Noticed a big difference.

don't use high-action specials
i use ranged shot or kip up shot as my default attack (depending on what i'm fighting, if i can change before hand)
tried quickdraw but that drains action very quickly as well
what some people like to do is put two specials next to each other on seperate timers and just spam them.... you run out of action VERY quickly
what i do.... is have my default attack and several attacks lined up (critical shot, quickdraw, bodyshot, etc.) and just spam them for a bit and if i'm running low, i just try and run for a bit, maybe find some cover and let myself regen, or just focus on defense (healing, duelist stance, etc.)
food like brandy etc. are still VERY good considering 50% filling empties in 15 minutes
take a look at some new foods and see what they all do and get a doctor to help you out with some buffs (can't remember which one adds to action regen)

I have a friend that's a TKM. He burns through his action bar in about 8 attacks. So I gave him some Giggledust, and now he's a spice fiend. So try Giggledust.
