you ovisly dont PVP much....rifleman can kill a person in two shot which incude's sniper shot(seen it done) thats what makes flameout so good now...these are going to play a key roll in PVP torunments and in PVP in general(sorry for all the spelling im really tired right now......*clunk*

85% damage reduction for 3 shots can definitely be a lifesaver. But it can also be a complete waste of a full stomach. What if those three shots are a KD/dizzy combo? Sure, you've got plenty of health while you're laying there helpless... but you're still as good as dead. In good armor, a flamethrower hardly does any damage as it is, and it's the DoT that's dangerous... in which case you'd have been far better off with a different buff than that damage reduction. There's no real way to know ahead of time whether the DoT buff, the damage reduction, or a slew of + to defense foods would be the best choice, which severly marginalizes thier usefulness.

That two-hit kill by a rifleman... I can guarantee you it wasn't against someone with the +1400 to mind conferred by our current buffs.

I've weighed in on this issue previously, so I won't go to much length repeating myself.

Summary:
I don't think the new food is worthless, I'm just doubtful it's as good as what we already have, for the combat system we're currently playing under. I see some pretty obvious niche markets, and the new system certainly has potential if some glaring issues are worked out. However, as it currently stands and is reported by our TC guinea pigs, I'm less than enthused.

As a swordsman, I can tell you I wont ever be buying food again if this goes live......

Im sorry NONE of that appeals to me, the stat buffs are paltry, in relation to the damage I take from high end mobs. come on anything less than +100 for 30 minutes? right thats worth my time....

Every Chef I know on Ahazi is dropping this profession after the patch.

Chefs asked for a fix

Not for more broken food

Broken food = food that dosnt sell

This food wont sell, or if it does it wont sell well......

As a swordsman I can tell you I wont be buying it.

As Master Pistoleer/Master Armorsmith who hunts for all of his hide himself I'll be buying Veghash by crates and most likely some of Kiwik Clusjo Swirl. For armorsmith I'll be getting either Bespin Port or Pyollian Cake. For PvP it's going to be much bigger list.

Chor-nor-hoola, Deneelian Fizz Pudding, Dustcrepe, Exo-Protein Wafers, Pikatta Pie, Synthsteak, Thakitillo, Corellian Brandy (big time!), Ithorian Mist (also going to be a big seller), Flameout, Blue Milk (by crates).

And that's considering that right now, the only thing I buy from chefs is Sunburn, and I don't even use that one very often (I go through a crate of it in about 1-1.5 month).

Also, Ormachek, this one, you wouldn't be able to keep stocked! One thing is when you grind for master chef and each item gives you 100-200 xp, and it's completely other thingwhen you are a Jedi and you need around 30 million xp just to get to Jedi Knight level. I highly doubt that any Jedi out there will leave their house without a crate of Ormachek in his back-pack.

I think what chefs right now don't understand is that people don't really use their food for buffs in PvP, and in PvE they care mostly about secondary stats. This is going to change with next patch, specials will no longer use your action/mind/health bar, so you wouldn't need buff for secondary stats just to keep your bar full. If you'll need a buff, you'll find master doctor (which works much better then food anyways. And much longer) or use spices. But new food opens up whole new market for chefs. Nobody in the game can currently affect so many things like chefs will after this patch goes life! And most of the chef are still stuck on "Wow! There removed buffs from our food! Give us back our buffs, cause all players want buffs!". Buffs will now be other professions prerogative, and chefs can concentrate in selling food that affects other things (sometimes much more important things. I personally got buffed by doctor only once in last 7 month and only use spices for PvP).

A post has already been made showing that the bonus gained by eating ormachek is about 1/10th the bonus you would get from eating stat food that helped you kill another lair every forty five minutes, which is the average decay time of ormachek. Also, this means they won't need a backpack full, as one crate will last 17 hours-ish.

THe combat system is going to be revamped so the stat food won't matter anyway.

Yes, but then they will be more likely to use dodge food (so as to not get hit), terrain negotiation (because they've gots none), or maybe even crafting bonus (because when you're working on weapons with damage in the thousands of damage and millions of credits, you want to make sure you don't crit fail a krayt pearl) than an extra 300 exp every forty five minutes.
