I get my health bonus from the Caf. I seriously doubt that Kanali Wafers last longer than an hour or give more than +180 to health regen, please correct me if I'm wrong. I'll take a look but I doubt it's an improvement.

I have 3 BH's all at different lvl's and I have no problem with any of the marks. I only wear armor with the gold marks and I use a probot droid. You attack first, then have the droid attack and then you move 90 - 180 degrees from the droid , the mark will attack you and not hit the droid. Don't stay at rifle range,move it it's pistol doesn't hit as hard. I use a low SAC advanced laser rifle , all the bowcasters I have are way toooo slow. If you're a CH use a pet to tank

I have never used Caf. Heck I don't even know what it is LOL. Sorry for my ignorance. This is what i use and it seems to do well.
Booster Blue, Spiced Tea, Blob Candy, Kanali Wafers, and Snow Cakes. Then I use Deuteurium Pyro for the gold boss marks for the added ranged accuracy, and I use synthsteak for the mitigation. I never drop below 50% health when fighting a boss mark.
Should I change up any foods? What I'm using right now seems to do ok.
Thanks.

this seems to be more of an equipment issue as i am a TKM/MBH and take down the 30k ham gold marks with no healing just using stims. Ialso tend to use a different setup on food then you but ill list is here.
silver marks:
vasarian brandy
neutron pixie
gold marks:
crispic
neutron pixie
ruby bliel
kiwik clusjo swirl
Vercupti of Agazza Boleruuee
using these combos i tend to lose very seldom, for those that say having healing is necessary its not, i dont use a gun just my katarn knuckles. Since the new changes ive lost one fight against a 34kham went back adjusted my tactics and brought him down. so it is possible without healing.
the gold mark combo will give you 250 regen on all 3 ham bars

Back when I left, I was only using Vasarian Brandy and Canape for food and drink, but since the CU I know that has all changed. Are you all eating this stuff at one time?
Someone mentioned Ubese Armor. I wasn't aware that Wookiees could use Ubese Armor? Has this changed?

Yes I start with booster blue, then blob candy, then kanali wafters, snow cakes, etc., then right before I attack a boss I click on my deut pyro drink, and my sythsteak because those two only last like 40 seconds. Seems to work fine. I really don't have to heal but maybe 2-3 times during the fight. I'm MBH, MCarb, CM 4000 and right after I click my duelist stance macro I drink both of those, then I use my KD macro. Then immediately hit my 2 best damage shots, Imp leg shot and adv crit, then torso for bleeding then stun/dizzy him, rinse repeat, then reapply my duelist stance and KD him again, rinse and repeat. I only have to heal about 2-3 times for the whole fight.
My armor is 6200 energy resist imperial faction stormtrooper armor (non-adk'd). I have a few 2100 energy fully charged PSG's in my inventory but I never had the need to use them.
My weapon is a e2 mk2 carbine:
438-919 dmg
1.30 speed
71 SAC (after pup)
Good luck.

If you've not done so already, try usingthe duelist stance special to boost your defences. It makes a big difference

Yep and make a macro for it so you know when it needs refreshing. Macros that I use are:
DuelistStance Macro
/dueliststance;
/pause 28;
/tell <your name> Refresh duelist stance now.
Underhandshot Macro
/underhandshot;
/pause 30;
/tell <your name> Knock him down again.
Always keep duelist stance going...it makes a difference and knock him down every chance you get and always follow up with your 2 best damage shots. Boss marks stance no chance if you consistently do this. Make sure you bleed him and dizzy/stun him too. Very important.
Good luck!

I have only one combat prof and i kill lvl 82s without any problems. yes, it might take me longer than an uber combat template, but i just keep healing and my health never goes below half.

WOW,I must really be doing something wrong when i'm fighting these marks 
EVERY mark i've taken in the last 3 days has been lvl81-82, single/double gold/silver chevrons with 31k-35k+ HAM and I've had trouble with all but one of em. Needless to say, i've had to give up on a few just cause I find myself healing too often and my mind goes to nuthin.

Needless to say, i've had to give up on a few just cause I find myself healing too often and my mind goes to nuthin.My template is: MBH, MRifles, Pistolsxxx3, Medicx2xx
I'm using a slicedadv laser rifle (710-1233 dam,90 sac, 1.5 spd), Tantel Helm, chest,legs. (6k energy, 4k kin), and have 2 cyber arms to increase range to 79m. I'm also using a PSG with 2k+ energy resist and wearing +19 heal eff shirt.
For foods, I'm using Blob, Bofa,Caf, Sarch Thrust (or BB), and arifle acc shot before the fight. Then have Ruby on standby with 920 strength StimDs.
Most of the time, I find myself trying to kite the mark similar to how I handle a jedi but somehow these npcs manage to hit me outside the usual 64m range. I try to use the terrain to buy time to heal/reg but ultimately end up standing 40m from the mark trading shots and me healing. The only time I took out a 31k HAM mob so far, I did so with less than 10% HAM across the board. Basically, it was whoever gets next shot wins... It took 4 attempts to finally beat the baztard.
My most recent mark was 35k HAM on Dath (of all places..sheesh) and the best I got against him was down to 30% health before he db'd me. I guess they can shoot through trees now cause hiding behind them didn't work. I gave up on this guy after 2 attempts.
I think this proves that player skill always beats the resources at one's disposal. I'm not used to fighting mobs of this strength alone so I guess I just need to learn my temp a little more...or at least take medicxx2x instead of medicx2xx.
Thanks for any input. I've been debating dropping pistolsxxx3 and going for CM4xxx but kiting is my style of play and I enjoy root too much. LOL
