They clearly do work at the same time. I have hunted krayts with a rifle equipped at all times. When I dropped an elite melee profession, I got hit for a hell of a lot harder from the krayts than when I had melee damage mitigation 3.

I have also noticed that they do work at the same time. I regularly do the Tusken Fort dressed in nothing but Tusken clothes and have not seen any difference in the amount of damage I take from ranged firewhether my pistol is equipped or my VK is equipped, and vice versa.

Some players understand it, some players don't. We have a couple of threads about it, but I wanted to make a concise summary.
The basic function of damage mitigation is that it reduces the "spread" of damage on the weapon that is attacking you, also known as it's "damage range." It reduces the range by a set percentage, and accomplishes this by reducing the maximum damage. The reduction amounts are as follows:
-
Level 1 damage mitigation limits damage to 80% of the range (20% reduction) -
Level 2 damage mitigation limits damage to 60% of the range (40% reduction) -
Level 3 damage mitigation limits damage to 40% of the range (60% reduction)
To determine the amount of reduction, use the following formula:
Max Damage - Min Damage = Range
Range x Remaining % = New Range
Min Damage+ New Range = New Max Damage
Lets try it. Say we have a 60-200 damage pistol, and we are facing a target with Level 3 Ranged Damage Mitigation:
200 - 60 = 140
140 x 40% = 56
60 + 56 = 116
So the new damage range is 60-116.
Some more rules:
- It functions in both PvE & PvP. NPCs and Creatures currently do not possess damage mitigation themselves.
- You can stack both Ranged & Melee Damage Mitigation. They willeachbe in effect at all times.
- Multiple boxes of the same type of Mitigation (Ranged or Melee) do not stack with one another. The only way to get Level 3 is to master an elite combatprofession, and multiple boxes of Level 3 provide no further benefit.

according to one of the reports from the fanfest,
"Melee and Ranged Midigation, ONLY WORK with the type of weapon you are using.. If you are using a sword,you only get melee midigation, if you are using a ranged weapon,only ranged midigation,so what about smuggler and commando??well, i you only get ranged, since they are ranged damage, only ranged midigation applies, they are trying to fix that evenutally."
swg.stratics.com
its about halfway down the page. search for "midigation"...they spelled it wrong.

Whaa? That isn't what was explained to us months ago when it was implimented. I direct you to this quote from an oldPhilospher1976 thread:
1) Perrish asked: "Any word on whether mitigations from multiple professions will stack? If you're master carbineer and pistoleer, is there an advantage in mitigation?"
DEV RESPONSE: "The Ranged and Melee Mitigation levels do not stack. Two level ones does not equal level two. Only the highest one is in affect. Ranged and Melee Mitigation can both be in affect if you have both from different profession. They are not limited by weapon equiped."
I'll change it in the meantime since your quote is more recent, and try to find out the truth.

i know. that's the weird thing about it. i know with smuggler, i never seemed to be taking any less melee damage, though...

any final confirmation on this, RandonB? might wanna go ahead and edit your post, at least. by the responses we're getting, they do both work at the same time.

No confirmation yet. I'll change it back though, as it appears that dev at Fan Fest was just misinformed. It happens.

Dont know about stacking but I do know they work together
I have ranged Mit 3 from Master Pistoleer and Melee Mit 1 from Smuggler pistol dirty tactics line...both classes require a pistol therefore I get both mit at same time.
