Siphon Insight set in Smoke Grenade

Shouldn't the Smoke Grenade power take the Siphon Insight set, accurate toHit debuff? I respecd my widow and unslotted the Dampened Spirits set (normal toHit debuff), thinking SI would be better fit. I bought some Siphon Insight recipes, only to find they won't work in Smoke Grenade. Bug, or for some silly reason by design?

I checked the notes for issue 15, and the known issues in this forum, but couldnt find this mentioned anywhere. Seems like pretty significant oversight if a bug.

(Yes, Smoke Grenade takes accuracy enhnancements, and lists its base accuracy as 1.0. So the alternative bug could be that Smoke Grenade is actually auto-hit, and shouldnt take accuracy enhancements.)

It's not autohit, so if it doesn't take Accurate ToHit Debuff, I'd say it's an oversight

It's... a weird case.

Blaster/Devices/Smoke Grenade *is* autohit, but some of its effects over-ride that behavior (that's not exactly common, but it's not a unique situation either), and thus necessitates a tohit check.
(net result: the PvE Perception debuff remains autohit, but the PvP Perception debuff and both versions of the ToHit debuffs require a tohit check)


It's possible that the power was overlooked when Accurate ToHit Debuff sets were assigned to powers because of this reason.


Widow/Night Widow Training/Smoke Grenade is *not* autohit, but still does not accept Accurate ToHit Debuff sets.


In both cases I'd agree with your assessment that it's probably an oversight.
