An Odd IO Proc...I have no clue

I have no clue what Fortunata's Hypnosis does, nor have I noticed it doing anything.

My mind/Psi dom uses her AOE sleep a ton. I love it and live by it.

But I bought the entire Fortunata's Hypnosis set because it was cheap and the bonsus are wonderfull.

But this 20% proc to Placate?

So...in my experience the only time I see Placate being used is by stalkers, Widows and Banes.

So, I don't actually have a stealth power (yet) I may respec into it.

But 20% chance of Placate on an AOE Sleep.

Does this mean if Im taking aggro it will take aggro off of me if I put them to sleep? Because does a sleep not already sort of do that?

I could see an illusion controller using it in Blind because it also excepts sleep IO's but Im not sure I have ever seen this do anything.

Does anyone have information on this set?

Even funnier the main ATs that use Placate (Stalkers,Banes,Widows) generally don't get sleep powers.

And Ninjitsu has Sleeping Powder.

So in all of two sets we have 3 powers for an entire AT that can slot an IO that uses an effect the AT was based on.

My point still stands.

Sonic Attack's sleep power Siren's Song does damage along with the sleep. It had gotten me killed the first time I tested it out (on a bunch of AVs ). I guess a +placate would go well here.

That point was made long ago. In several other threads.

No, my point was we have this Placate IO, and it's funny the At's that get the most use from Placate effects can't use it.

Not any kind of malicious funny or sarcastic funny but genuinely humorous.

In all seriousness, the Placate effect by itself is fairly useless even to a Stalker. That's why almost no one takes Smoke Flash.

Well...I must say I do use it before, during, during and during a battle. It staggers damage caused to a tank/AOE quite well, and halts many other issues.

Yes AOE's break it, but it still works. I mean the entire concept to me of a sleep even in an AOE battle is to reduce enemy DPS, Drop Toggles, and considdering many toggles drop when hit by sleeps it works well, and not many thing can resist sleeps.

If I am placateing them and then not taking damage it works ok.

I usually open with Terrorize and then hit the AOE Sleep...and it seems to be working.

I guess my thought is that considdering it's the only purple sleep has...placate seems to be...well again, I have no idea. It;s like it should have a chance to slow? Or a chance to Stun. But even then since the sleep duration of Fortunata's Hypnosis is improved I would rarely see the effects of it's proc...almost never

But the chance to placate on the only purple slow just does not seem to make sense unless you have the ability to crit hit.

Although the set bonus put me at perma dom soooo...well I wont complain.

It just seems pointless

The placate proc is awesome in PVP. Even a few seconds of re-targeting can mean a lot sometimes.

I find it mostly useless in pve.

Last time I checked Blinding Powder accepted confuse sets but not sleep sets.

The Chance for Placate proc only serves one good purpose that I can see.

You see, some Purple IO has to be the Least Valuable on the market. And, I'm pretty sure that = Chance for Placate.

I just 5 slot the set (leaving out the Placate chance IO) and move along.

I think this proc would see some use (not much, but some) in Siren's Song or Flash Freeze, since those sleep powers generate agro with their damage component (as opposed to Mass Hypnosis or Spore Burst). In those, assuming it proc'd, even once the sleep wears off, some of the mob would not be aggroed. Af course, they could just blindly follow those that are, see you, and decide to join the poundfest, but they wouldn't do it out of anger, just lemming mentality.
