The only good villain epic powers were gloom, Soul drain, and Lightning Cages, Arguably the pets (Dom/Corr)

Focused Accuracy just needs completely removed, along with powerboosts granting of additional ToHit, same goes for fort

Suddenly, defense would become VERY viable in pvp since FA and ToHit Stacking completely negates sets like /SR and /EA A lot in pvp, especially for brutes

never happened for me, during a solo on BaB as an AV, not once did the DoT from impale or ripper cause him to aggro on me after a placate, he just stood there dumbfounded before being Assassins banana'd again

Dunno though

it also does it in PvE

i Total focused a boss from hide (Didnt stun him) and placated him after his attack, he continued lobbing attacks even though he had no DoT on my et al (+2 longbow SS/Invul warden, boss)

DoT Never broke placate prior to i11/i12

Confirmed on my spines nin prior, BU+Ripper, placate, they'd stand up and ignore me while dot'd

A_C: it's also being bugged by my KD/KB/-def on my kat/reg, my EM/SR's stuns, my Spines/Nin DoT/immob, and every other stalker i have whose melee set has some form of secondary effect

Conviently, this also happens if i say, soul storm a mob and then placate it, when the hold ends, they go back to swinging at me like i never placated them, even if the placate hit AFTER the DoT finished

Placate is bugged by the following powers:

Any power which has a secondary effect lasting longer than .01 seconds

Conveniently, this includes almost EVERY SINGLE POWER stalkers get, In pvp and pve, placate is now broken to the point of almost uselessness, since it will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in a fight

for instance, fighting a random +3 tank swiper on my elec regen:

i ran in, BU+AS, 1/3 of his health drops, i follow with havoc, CI, and then LR, i placate him (AS was back up), and as i begin AS, he's stood back up and proceeds to claw-smack me for almost 600 damage, no secondary on him anymore (CI was off by then) but the debuff from AS Still was (Just barely)

Thus, breaking placate, Havoc punching a lone longbow nullifier and then placating him during the sleep and not doing anything, he'll continue attacking me after the sleep ends

i can come up with upwards of 800 or more times this has happened since i12 on any one of 20 or so stalkers i have from 12-on on many servers

HJHTFTDMSC! (Only a couple players will get that >.&gt

"Pain Domination" sounds glee-worthy, the mission creator is epic, and the patron respec makes me plot evilly

Placate is broke again on live, the demoralize from AS and some other status effects cause PvE (And PvP) targets to ignore the placate and continue smacking you around (Things like the -recov from elec melee, darks -tohit, etc.)

Just found that on live after the new patch with my elec/Regen

Who says you need placate to be effective? seriously, with the amount of ways a stalker has to get in and out of a fight quickly, Placate is the least of those, i have it mainly for PVE Just to get random minions off me while i kill bosses

Edit: If you've ever played WoW, you'd know that any dot on your opponet (Poisons, etc) takes off effects like blind, but not stuns, therefore, placate + a status effect (Dot, defkill, etc) and the placate not working is working as intended to me, i'm used to having something like it fail anyway
