_Castle_ posted on this earlier here but it, regrettably, didn't make it into the patch notes from 12/7/06.

Blaster Devices Smoke Grenade: No longer requires a 'to hit' check for the Perception Debuff. The other effects of the power still require a successful to hit check.

This change is now included in the patch notes for reference. Happy blasting!

Awesome! Well I am a fire/dev blaster but i gave up on smoke grenade BUT STILL! 
[/ QUOTE ]
it still sounds pretty skippable even for a guaranteed debuff imo. (37 ar/dev) ....I dropped smoke on my fire troller and never missed it

Hmmm. Now... should I drop Aim for Smoke Grenade or refuse another Epic Pool Power.

With 3 Recharges in Aim it's a 62.5% Boost to base damage and 37.5% Acc boost available every 45 seconds... I'd keep Aim no matter what

I actually managed to Level 38 without Aim and then respec'd into it for the extra "oomph" in damage. It's nice, I will say that, but to sacrifice for toe bombing?
I guess I could push some the Ancillary Pool Powers away again until Level 47.
This is great news! /Dev is getting love at long last! w00t Cant wait to pull Hakashi outta the hive and um SG some foes to death!
