I used to be able to solo nightsisters with ease before these patches, but now they are landing huge bleeds on me and they seem to be bypassing any melee defence i have :S

I have noticed this as well. Last night,I fought two Stalkers using kinetic weapons, usually a walk in the park. After they killed me, and quickly at that, I checked my combat log, and even tho I was wearing full ubese, most of their kinetic attacks weren't being stopped by my armor. And i know this wasn't the case even 4 days ago, when I took on a protector and threesentries at the same time, and managed to defeat them.

I have noticed that the initial shots from most of the NPC's seem to be hitting with much more damage, even with armor on. For example, I had 80% kinetic, 60% base protection armor on, and was hit for 1200ish damage the other day by a Nym guard, and my suit only blocked 400ish of it, leaving 800 damage with one shot. I was unbuffed at the time, and attributed it to the "wookiee armor hole" and they conned red to me so I didn't think too much about it...
However, that doesn't explain the damage that I have been receiving from various other NPC's around with my human character while wearing composite armor, I have a crafter character who had to run for her life the other day, from low-level swoopers of all people. Wearing 80% kinetic, 70% base armor, I barely got away withjust a sliver of action HAM left after what was normally a minor inconvenience attack while laying harvesters. These were light blue cons to me as well...

Ive also noticed, that when im fighting npc's, my stats begin to fluctuate. one minute my focus will be 1600, then next minute it will be 1100, then it will shoot back up to 1700. This goes for all stats. I can sometimes see turquoise numbers rising above my head, and stats going down, and up...

That's an Executioner. It's pretty normal for them to do that.

Yeah, Simply I thought it was a cool screenshot 
Anyways the nightsister thing has kinda been weird, I got my @$$ handed to me by two spellweavers this morning where as i'd usually kill them no problem.

Just wait til the combat balance, you'll need a group to defeat those. The way it was meant to be.
