If you're having further difficulties, with that sort of thing, or anything else for that matter, I'd be happy to help guide you. Wish I'd made that offer earlier though, because Nar Shaddaa really can be fun, even with the the grinding.
I've got two pretty reliable guides, actually.
Gamebanshee for the nice minimalistic story walkthrough and
StrategyWiki for the down-to-the-numbers info on classes and stuff.
Although, I do appreciate the help and will in fact ask a question that neither guide could answer: How the hell am I supposed to fight Visas Marr legitimately, when you first meet her on the Ebon Hawk? This was literally the one challenge that I've faced yet that I truly think that I totally COULD NOT deal with, I
had to lower the difficulty to Easy in order to triumph over her. Just like every other fucking enemy in the game, she had a 100% hit rate while I struggle to get in two hits in with a Master Flurry.*
* My other leading criticism of the game so far. The enemy is too fucking accurate. My base stats are admittedly subpar, both STR and DEX are 12, but that's no excuse for being
absolutely shit on by every enemy in the game.
I'd need more information on your pc to really gauge the problem. But, if you have such low STR and DEX you really need to make sure you have a high defense, and ideally good vitality, because you're not going to hit often or hard, so you need to be able to outlast opponents. Unless you're playing a caster, which changes things, obviously. It's worth noting that Visas has high DEX, which means she will have a good modifier to hit with her lightsaber, a good modifier to avoid your attacks and a good reflex save, so something like Force Push wouldn't be worth using. So, if you're not a caster, she's going to have a better chance to hit than you, going to do more extra damage than you, and going to have better static defense modifiers than you. If you are a caster, the bread and butter Force Push line is off the table,
and she has a good will save too, as I recall. So something like the Force Stun line, which has a fortitude save, would be best, as fortitude is definitely her weakest save. Well, that was wrong. I though she had better wisdom than charisma, but it's the other way around. So, her will save is her worst, though her fortitude isn't great either.
Additionally, if you're LS, Force buffs would be invaluable here, caster or not. The Force Valor line in particular, due to your low physical stats, would be very helpful. Certain upgrades for your armor could also help improve survivability, such as energy resistance or regeneration, and the obvious blanket defense boosts. Additionally, though this is admittedly a bit gamey, you're commitment to the Light or Dark will grant bonuses once your reach max LS/DS points, so playing a stupid good hero or a cartoon villain could help mitigate some of your issues.
Also, maybe I just get lucky, but I usually end up getting help from T3, who comes in with a shield active and just starts blasting her. Doesn't do too much, but it's not nothing. There's also the question of when you're triggering the fight. As I've said, I go to Nar Shaddaa first, and I always trigger it right after fighting off the trandoshan slavers. Which I do after completing just about every other quest I can. I think I'm usually level 12 or higher at that point, but I've not played the game in some time, so I can't recall precisely. It's possible you're triggering the fight at a lower level, and this could make the fight harder for you. Additionally, depending on what your first planet was, you could end up with relatively poor equipment.
