Unfortunately, the description of this perk (as of patch 1.06) is quite misleading. After testing various consumables, I can confirm that what this perk actually does is increase the DURATION of consumable item buffs by 25% or 50%. For example, Health Boosters lasted 45 minutes instead of the normal 30—but they still only boosted the normal 20%. Also works the same for food buffs and Bounce Backs. No effect at all on MaxDocs of any level. This being the case, I’d say this perk is not worth it.
