Companion: Jimmy Kraud for 550 (700-150=550) more leadership and also his slots are PERFECT.

Artifacts:

Helm: Elven Crown: 1000 leadership (surprisingly enough, this seems to be the best helm without the giftbag mod, mask of hate doesn't even come close)

Weapon: Axe of Ice III, with this repair droid can melee (which hits A LOT harder than their ranged attack) without retaliation, +10% physical resistance

Companion Weapon: Royal Hammer, -15% droid leadership requirement

Chest/Bracer/Shield: Scaly Set, +20% physical resistance

Companion Chest: Slippery Curass: +10% physical resistance

Boots: Twinkling Boots: +15% physical resistance

Companion Boots: Perfect Shoes: +30 mana (best shoes, hands down)

Artifact: engineer's badge: -20% droid leadership requirement
Artifact: Horn of King Borg, -10% droid leadership requirement
Companion Artifact: Skull of Death

basically, droids have 82% physical resistance; 55 (from items) + 20 (droid innate) + 7 (guardian medal III)
leadership requirement for guard droid: 66; (down from 120)
leadership requirement for repair droid: 44; (down from 80)

I am only level 32 yet I find myself literally unstoppable!(impossible, mage)

If you find anyway to improve my setup, let me know!
