WvW consumables question

A question for the more hardcore WvW guys out there.  I've heard there are several key consumables that help tip the scales in WvW, especially if the majority of people have them.  What are they, what do they do and how do you get them?  I'm working my way back into pvp after being gone awhile and am looking to get up to speed here.

Thanks!

Food is a matter of choice. I prefer Omnom Pies which give a life steal and no cooldown on crit. Also you can get a variety of items to augment your stats that don't count as food. Things like sharpening stones, oils, crystals. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Omnomberry_Pie http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Weaponsmith#Consumable

I agree with Q but I also use Skale Venom/Oil. It inflicts weakness and vulnerability and is very cheap.

I'm not referring to food or stones/oils... I think there are offensive consumables from events or something that put pools on the ground or inflict conditions? Skale Venom sounds right... How do you get it?

Skale venom, and similar consumables, stack with oils/stones and food. There are three "consumables" buff slots. As for where to find Skale venom, I don't recall off-hand, but you can google it, just like I'd have to, to answer that. edit: Also, IMO, and in my experience against enemies that do, these consumables don't give that much of an edge. Good builds and knowing how to play them, do. I'm not saying that they're not useful, I'm saying that they don't add a remarkable difference between a win and a loss, regardless of the scenario or amount of players using them. Some are on the nerf block for March's WvW updates, though.
