As the title suggests, It would be nice if the cooldown is only active, when you’re in combat. Some foods buff your maximum stamina/focus/health etc. and having to wait several seconds before you can use another one is kind of annoying, when you’re just waiting & preparing for a boss fight standing outside the boss arena. Especially Echo Knight.
Don’t really see a reason why it has to be as it is now.
I am conflicted on this matter as I both agree and disagree.
By the time you have activated several buffs the earliest buff is starting to fall off. The uptime is also quite short compared to certain boss fights.
That being said it could also be a food progression system that we haven’t seen fully yet. Where we will get higher tiers of food that give 2 buffs and then 3 before we have some kind of ultimate food that gives every buff.
In earlier Pathfinder games you can prebuff and overlap these buffs in rather quick succession. This however, becomes quite a slog since you have to repeat it every time. You start cycling through various foods for every buff.
I do think they have more planned in the future with food buffs. So this idea might not work in the long run. Since I do firmly believe we will get better foods with longer durations and stronger effects. Maybe the durations can be longer though. Or we can keep the effects up/reset by drinking a potion.
please refer to the other posts about the food cooldown.
