I have a +350 Health RIS Suit these days...I've been working towards Mandolorian but the -1000 Energy resist compared to my RIS isn't really making my move fast about it.

RIS just looks nice, usually. And it can have good resists at times if you get a good suit.
I tend to wear Katarn Arms, Chitin Helmet, and Padded Leg/Chest. Looks pretty nice, actually, and my Katarn arms rarely get hit anyway. Sort of a practical outfit, since the chest/legs/head wear out all the time so I constantly have new pieces there.

i have to ask you what good u can get out of BE clothes that u can't get out of armor? The only worthwhile mods i see are Ranged Defense,healing eff, and Terrain Negotiation. now 16-18 in Ranged defense for a double master is almost nothing. In my PvE experiences it mitigated less than 5 dmg per shot from a lvl 80 bol. And though healing Eff is usefull - u can still wear one shirt under armor. (which is what i do)
i understand for FS grinding and NPC BH marks not wanting to waste the condtion of ur armor, but for high end PvE like krayts , gorax, and Kimogilas - why wouldn't u wear armor? its like 56% mitigation if u have 8k assult armor, which means alot less healing and alot more killing.

For Krayt, Goraxes and Giant Dune KimogilasI just use Modded BE Clothing.
I always had duelist stance running and ate Pikatta Pie. I was getting hit for the same amountand with more misses than my armored friends who were down there. I have 287 Ranged Defense and with Duelist Stance I have 537 Defense total. With a duelist stance macro I don't get hit as often and usually is a 25% damage reduction than without.
I use Electrolyte Drain, Stopping Shot, and Knockdown to keep the target away from melee range. If the target get's too close I throw in disarming shot then Electrolyte Drain or in a pinch, throw in Paralyze and run away.
I use Parwan (For Burst Run) and Synthsteak (For 50% Damage Mitigation) if things gets too close. Synthsteak is great. It's really my armor, and I only activate it when I need it.
I've been going through armor once every 3 weeks.I decided to go without and switch to BE clothes. My 200K specially tailored BE clothes have yet to be replaced. This has been a savings of 400-500K every 3 weeks.
Also Clothes are a nice place to put SEA's in. Most Armor Attachments you don't usually actually use because of fear of decay. Once that armor is decayed you lose that SEA forever. Now with my BE Clothes II max out on Healing Efficiency (Shirt/Jacket), I have Melee/Ranged Defense Pants, and4 bandoliers to fit the occassion (Healing, Intimidation, Terrain Negotiation, Melee/Ranged Defense). Then I have pistol accuracy, bio efficiency, general ranged speed, tradking droid effectiveness, pistol speed, general ranged accuracy and various defense vs knockdown/intimidate/stun/blind added in. For a fully modded suit, I can wear multi socketed clothing without having to worry about decay. (Clothes decay very slowly and not at all in PVP)
So I get to enjoy fully modded abilities without worrying about decay. Yes it'll decay but it decays only when you clone.
My Armor is stored in Droids so that they don't decay upon cloning and are readily available for the situation. My SEA's in my armor are important, and I don't wish them to decay upon nothingness, so I only use the armor only when I really need it.

If im hunting melee mobs and dont want to worry about running or kiting BH armour (or if I just want to look cool)
if im hunting anything else usually wear a suit of layered ubese 8k energy, with a 1200ish PSG.

I have to ask why you are fighting jedi in assault armor when with your master smuggler template you could be fighting them in energy layered recon and have 56% protection (8000) compared to 48% (6000 thats if you assault is energy layered
)
