Actually, I need a droid. I am sorry if there are some noobish questions in here, but I have never owned a droid for anything other than the 110 Doc units. I am now a TKM & Master Doc and am looking for something that I can send out and get initial aggro and help me do a little damage, but also take some damage.
I have read a number of posts in here and am now throughly confused 
TIA,
Rince

Your best bet would be to find a MDE and ask for a CL30 Adv. Probot or Adv. R3 with combat and repair modules. Currently the droids, may or may not, be bugged in that 1 combat module and 1 lvl 6 armor will produce a CL30 droid. Adv. Probots hold 5 modules and Adv. R3s hold 6. So in theory R3s are better. One combat and 5 repair modules verses 1 combat and 4 repair. The probots did have a extra modifier that made them equal to R3s in stacked combat modules. This is not the case now though, both are equal at combat but the R3 can hold one more module of choice.
I personally like the ranged fightersof probots over the melee fighter of R3s but when manually targeting sometimes the height of the probot makes it a little harder to see around. People have different opinions about them both. Probots also tend to walk away when not in battle and sometimes you have to /shout your follow command to get them to come back to you. Hopefully that one will be fixed.
For what you a wanting, a droid would do it. They are great for standing outside the aggro perimeter mobs and telling the droid to attack. Then as you see the ! over the mob, use the follow command to bring the droid and it's aggro back within your range. This keeps all the mobs from aggroing you at once. Most of the time it works smoothly.
You can check the droid shop locations to find a MDE on your server or just search for one ingame... but we are few and far between.

My personal preference is for Probot Advanced w/ 2 Combat Modules, 1 Medical Module, and 2 Auto Repair/storage/whatever you would find useful if you want a DPS droid and an R3 Advanced w/ 1 combat module, 1 medical module, and 4 auto repair modules if you're looking for a tank droid.
I've been putting the 2 combat modules in the probots as a kind of semi-future proofing in case they change/fix the whole combat module stacking situation.
