Now, I could be mistaken, but the only advantage I can see you getting out of the Swordsman is some counter attack points. From my experience, damage mitigation does not work outside of it's grouping.

For example on my TKA/Brawler/Fencer toon, when I went pistols to get the state defenses, I got HAMMERED while grinding when I actually got hit... same melee defense, same dodge (though, no COB) but Melee Mitigation did not seem to work at all.

Could be wrong, but others have told me the same thing.

How does 0002 CH help with Explosion Droids?

Creature Handler dictates how many pets you can have out. Pets includes classic CH pets, faction pets and droids. Since Jedi can't block the exploding droids, they are very effective at killing Jedi. Following the same logic, 2 droids is better than 1.

BUT the extra pet comes at 0003 CH......hence my confusion.....

yes but also mitigation is preventing 40% of the damage i'm taking in PvP, chances of ME successfully kiting = 0 so that mitigation is kind of necessary.

It is VERY important to learn as a ranged profession that dizzy prevents burst running. If you keep an opponent dizzied such that they cannot burstrun, you should be able to kite them easily.

Also, instead of mitigation, rely on intimidate. If a melee character gets close to you, intimidate them so you take no damage then focus on posture/KDing them and use the delay to put distance between you and them. Keep them dizzied and they cannot catch you.

Tactics.

Must have something to do with being the correspondent or something

If you can't afford or find the speed tapes etc. then maybe the BH template would be better? Although you can still do pretty good with speed sliced carbines even without extra speed mods, they just make things even better.
