Well, like the above user said, it all depends. I personally equip my best lightsaber/weapon(not guns. She has a lightsaber), armor, implants, and shields. I am usally pure DS and have maxed out on Storm and Life. So I equip my Armor - whose name escapes me - that doesn't restrict force. Zeision Sha or Jal Shey if I'm correct. My lightsaber usually has my name crystal on pure DS and other powerful components that I made by abusing the Hanharr glitch(+STR, -INT, INF DS. INT loses so much it is reset to highest level impossible without using that glitch). I go in and start attacking. If I have a large STR and CON, I can last the whole fight(even the next section) and lose half or less of my health(With implants that increase CON too, of course )
Second Section:
I'm guessing you haven't gotten this far.. so... Possible Spoilers Ahead!
