Smoke Grenade Aggro


Bloodspeaker

 

Posted

So I'm a little confused. I have a an AR/Dev/Muni Blaster whom I picked smoke grenade and cloak so I could use timebomb effectively. Ever since I got to level 49 though, it now draws aggro on npcs when before they wouldn't even bat an eye. Even when I'm cloaked they start shooting. Did I miss an update or does this normally happen?

If it keeps drawing aggro I'll probably wind up using it only in teams now if I don't respect it out of my build.

Do you happen to have any procs slotted in the power?
Even if the proc doesn't fire when it checks for the chance it creates aggro


Mighty Lornac lvl 50 Fire/fire/Flame Blaster
jarlxaz Lvl 50 Claws/regen Scrapper
Beware the Bowtie lvl 50 Dual blades/willpower brute
Static Guardian lvl 50 FF/Elec Defender
and a few others

Ah okay. I have a recovery and recharge debuff slotted. Thanks for the answer!

*nod* Does that in Flash Arrow (and Confuse/Mass Confusion - not seeds of confusion) too.

Have to watch those procs.

Hehe, can't remember what set/proc I originally meant this for, but reminds me of a comment I made elsewhere. Something about Chance for +facepalm.

Yes, I've done the same thing.

Only procs that don't as I recall are the confuse and placate, IIRC.

Placate Proc: A chance for a power to tap the enemy on the shoulder and say 'WOW! Look over there!'

Actually, thinking about it, it probably wouldn't matter. Agro is upon the to-hit check, generally - then the placate would hit.
