Hi,
I'm a curious doc, whose server is down, wondering how good an alternative to Doc's Buffs you can provide.
I'm thinking maybe a combination of Vercupti plus (something else for the secondary stats) plus Brandy/Ahrisa (about which I no little, it not being readilyavailable onmy server) & Canapes, fillings allowed. I know Vercupti can do over 1k on primaries, but only for 12 mins max, & takes up a lot of filling space.
Using Muon & Neutron Pixie as an emergency backup, I'm curious how well someone could manage without Doc Buffs, thought I'd check here (tried the faqs btw - bit out of date, vercupti still down as pets only).
What's the best a chef can do, with regard to buffing stats?

Two vercupti and two boh or brandies plus spice should do in a pinch. But since it doesn't last long, it seems a waste to me. It's what I use when I'm under surprise attack in guildwar and don't have time for doc buffies. 
I've set up one of my guildies with some food for him to use when he's out grinding carbines and can't get doc buffs and so far, it seems to be working for him. He's drinking a BE accarragm and BE brandy, plus 1 BE gruuvan, 2 BE kanali, and 3 BE bofa. Overall, it comes to: 400+ action, quickness, stamina, mind, focus, willpower, strength for 45 min, 180+ strength for 45 min, and 260+ health for 45 min. Clearly not better than doc buffs, but good enough for grinding.

Here is what I've done occasionally as a swordsman with no medic skills and a rather ordinary power hammer:
1 Garrmorl + 2 Gruuvan Shaal + 1 Accarragm + 1 Ahrisa
That gives about 330 health/con, 1100 str, 400 act/qui/sta, 400 foc, and can be kept up close to full time. Not as nice as doc buffs, but its enough to throw a few specials in a suit of composite. With a higher action cost weapon, I would probably switch one of the Gruuvan Shaal to a Scrimpi.
The food buffs alone haven't been especially helpfull, but I tried using a stim-A droid also and was able to take on Merek Harvesters and Death Heads without much down time. But then, its easier to get buffs than refill the stim droid.

I've been working to make a 50 fill vercupti and Breath of Heaven. I've gotten both down to 53, but that's still a bit high. It could be used a quick blast to get a nice 2k buff for about 6
to 7 min...when in a pinch.
