I think it prolly p-o's people to get whipped by an emerald green 7 foot Trandoshan wearing hot pink tighties.
Yes, that would make me a little embarassed/mad to be semi-conscious and beaten and the only sight I see as I look straight up is some scaly frank and beanswrapped intight pink leotard shorts as he spinkicks my friends in a red-pink ribbon of death. Enough to logoff and seak counseling.

House in your pocket? Thought you were just happy to get an answer on the force of will thing.
Hahaha 
I have 2 sets of armor (Padded and Chiton) and set of BE enhanced clothing.
Mostly I weat the BE clothing (+8 melee defense, +16 bleed defense, +16 stun defense, +32 heal/wound). Since I am also a doctor I am always buffed. I can use specials even with VK's equiped and just smash them down. This works up fine on mobs up to about CL20-25. (Just what I have been fighting so far.)
But going up against blaster users I wear the padded (+60 vs energy, 40% head/cold) and use a PSG. I remove the PSG if they go to melee on me. This lets me close with very little damage taken.
If I am going up against something where the fight is melee and long or I am in a group I wear the Chiton (50% kinetic) and don't use specials much. I have a couple of preset macros that unequip my VK's and do the specials and then reequip them when the specials are over with.
I have macros to switch between them all. BTW macros if used right are just wonderful! I have several including one that does VKoff, KD, dizzy, Vkon, uhit2, uhit2. This one is great on low level NPC's. This lets me hit one key and ques up everthing. I have another that does Vkoff, stun, blind, and dizzy, lunge, Vkon.
I wear a full suit of advanced Ubese. It's currently unsliced because I haven't found a slicer i trust. I never take it off to do specials because I do not have to.It absorbs about 80% of the damage i take in combat. Sounds pretty good to me.
News Flash! Composite isn't the only armor in the game. In fact, situationally it is FAR from the best.
