I've seen some material that says MCMs should use composite encumberance sliced armor to maximize our mind stats. But if we're in heavy PvP trying to dodge all those shots (given that we're almost always target #1), should we use effectiveness sliced or maybe a combination?
Since I'm also a master rifleman, I usually PvP by combining offensive sniping with poison/disease throws (and a bit of team healing too). Comments welcomed!

I totally have to have a completely encumberance sliced set of composite armor in pvp. A lot of it depends on what race you are. I have played both a human and a zabrak as a cm. As a human it did not matter a whole lot b/c of the higher mind stats they get. Now as the zabrak I currently am I need enc sliced armor, brandy, ahrisa and occassionally muon. I also try to have the dancer/musician buff on top of that to help out too. I also like the same for pve as well as its nothing for me to black bar my mind pool. Also, as a rifleman, the specials really take from your mind so I still have to vote adamantly for encumberance sliced armor; that is for pvp and pve as well.

mcm/m.rifles here as well. usually in a support role so if im in a big group pvp battle will sit back without armor and toss area stims and area poison/disease. If i feel like using rifles and get in some action i will most likely use my pvp 40% stun armor.

If you are rich - effectiveness sliced
If you are poor - save up and buy effectiveness sliced, and mind food/drink/buffs ya cheap bloke
I hit through 80% kinetic armor for 150 points per hit, with a VK

I go effectiveness all the way. With buffs the way they currently are, there is no need for otherwise. Especially my guildmates buffs, lol. I'd rather last longer in battle w/ my 90% base armor (allows for more poison ticks) and fight it out w/ swordsman. Not only that, I'm usually healing/chucking in PVP anyways so most of the time i'm taking a beating out there. That and most ppl know to attack me first
