Smoke : auto-hit?

I just picked Smoke on my controller, and despite taking accuracy enhancements I have yet to see it miss a single time, the whole spawn goes with the little clouds over their head and that's it.

Is it auto-hit? Or is it just me?

it's autohit in PvE, but it needs an accuracy check in PvP iirc.

[/ QUOTE ]Yup, similiarily to other AoE -pers powers, and taunt.

It also has a nice little side benefit, when you smoke a mob, you will see that one or two of them are left unsmoked. These ones you can pull as singles with a snipe etc.

Slightly unrelated, does anyone know the numbers on Smoke? How much does it debuff?

10%? 5%?

Probably about 5% to be in line with similar powers.


I really should do something about this signature.

Smoke Grenade in Devices still misses some parts of groups.

Don't you always have a 5% chance to miss or hit with an attack on any mob of any level?

So even an auto-hit power is going to miss 1 in 20 mobs.

Nope. That's why it's called auto-hit, as opposed to those which require a to-hit check and which indeed have a 5% chance of missing no matter what.
