Hey Zodiac,
Well, I will give this a whirl. It is still early post-CU though so as we work with these foods and things more this will most likely change.
I am basing my comments on my combat last night with my rifleman/ranger and the fact that my alt is a chef who is trying to figure out what to make for my guild, etc...
I agree with you....seems to me with some dueling last night and also fighting critters on Endor, including a Gorax, that health and health bar regen are probably the most critical. I also agree we need something that is longer duration....30 min or more. The really short gen stuff is obviously more powerful but then managing stomach fill is a real issue. For special cases other foods will be funcational but for normally critter fights, etc.. we need longer duration.
With all that said I am thinking Kanali Wafers are a decent option with around +165 to Health and +100 to Health Regen. Not huge but it does last for roughly 45 min (bonus and duration can really vary based on inputs so these are probably typical/averages). Fill on these is only around 15 so leaves you lots of additional options. From a health standpoint another food might be Gruuvan Shaal....+205 to Health and +200 to Health Regen...but only a 15-20min duration and more stomach fill at around 33.
As a swordsman you might consider filling in your stomach fill with: Pikatta Pie, +50 to Dodge. It's good for over 20 min and has a fill of around 25. It also seems folks miss more often post-CU...and with some hits/attacks taking awhile to regen you want to make sure and hit what your firing/swining at. So, you might also try Crispic which will give you about +25 to Melee Accuracy (also increases Ranged Accuracy but it's better for Melee and your a swordsman). This lasts for 10-15 depending on the chef with a stomach fill of around 15. I would special order some of this with lower fill and slightly longer duration...then just macro it. Keep a macro running that has you taking this food as soon as it runs out. The accuracy will really help you out. You might also consider tossing in some Rakririan Burnout which will give you about a +20 to Unarmed Damage for 20 min or so (25 fill) that is if your using your TK at all. Synthsteak is also a nice option still...I know my new batch is running at +45 mitigation bonus for 31 attacks and only 25 fill....which can really help you out at times. No room for Synthsteak? Exo-wafers are the little brother to Synthsteak....mine are running +26 mitigation bonus for around 22 attacks....but only 5 FILL. You could macro eating these a well (would drop 25% of damage you take right off the top).
All those options and that is just food!! For drinks you can fill in with many others to help you in battle. For long duration the Caf looks to be duration of about 60 min with +175 to Health and a Mind Regen of +100. Only 15 fill here. From what folks are saying this may not stack on other health food buffs so watch that (don't just use one to overwrite another one). Corellian Ale might be a nice option for you...Melee Accuracy of over +50 with a duration of over 45 min normally....and fill of only 15 or so. I use Vayerbrok also for my rifleman....+20 or so to Block...but not sure if that is useful for Swordsman/TK. If you really want to have some fun say for dueling someone or going up against some uber critter.....order some Flameout. Mitigation bonus of nearly +200...which means you basically don't take ANY damage (I call mine Invincibility!). Of course it's only good for like 4 attacks but it can really give you a leg up in some battles.
Hope that helps for now. Hook up with a chef on your server and offer to "test" of these foods and food combination for them. They get knowledge/benefit in finding out what might work for folks and you might get some free food or at least food greatly discounted. Plus you learn what works for you and your style of combat/gameplay.
Good luck.
sorry, double post
