Hi, I am a newly master DE on eclipse. This is my alt char that is a pure crafter.... anyway my main is a mbh/rifleman so I decided to make him a droid companion to aid in the hunt. I make an adv probot chassis and make the combat modules for him (3 that go in the combat socket and 2 that fit in the other slots). Now I am not using totally worthless components. I experimented each combat module to 93 rating.I took my droid for a spin on my bh looking for a mark and he was doing terrible damage. I was under the impression these things would hit for around 100+ damage?
Around my mark who was a level 80 gold elite were some level 46ish voritors (this is on dantooine). I test my droid by sending him in to attack the enemy and he uses his blaster and hits for 14 on the lizard. In melee mode he hit it for 25. I help my little friend out by killing the voritor and then proceed to take on my mark. I call in my probot for back up and he hits for 14 at ranged...and missed a lot. I figured the misses and such, but that damage was horrible.
I definately don't wanna sell anything like this to someone. As I would feel they'd think I ripped them off, but I used great quality resources in crafting this droid and fully experimented it 
Please does anyone have any ideas on whats going on with this, as I donot want to make a mistake (if I made one) like this again.

There is a problem with Probots where if they get to within 30m of thier target then they will basically swtich to melee mode (although it still shoots) and will start doing crap damage.
There is no real fix for this other than trying to keep the droid at range so that it works as intended.

The damage stats start from 61 and rise to 200 I think so any values between there are possible.
The droid will only really out damage players that are low level and thus are really good as tanks in that respect for them. However, for those high level players that will almost always be the focus of those being attacked the droid can be a hindrance to them.
It doesn't matter how many combat modules you add the damage will not change. At least until they consider it a bug that the description they added to the Publish 18 update didn't ring true.
