How long does the placate last? I was thinking that would be pretty cool in Frozen Aura for my tanker...?

Why would a tank want a placate? If you're only soloing, I suppose I could understand, but I'm imagining the tank firing Frozen Aura, putting everything to sleep and placating it, and then a blaster waking it up with Fire Ball, and everything hunting down the blaster - because they're not allowed to target the tank.

It makes me lose aggro? I thought they just couldn't target me, not take away my taunting ability.

You never used Placate on a Stalker? Anyone you placate will immediately completely ignore you. If there is anyone else around, they will go attack someone else. If you are alone, they just stand around, or walk back to their spawn point.

According to an old post from Castle, a critter can be Taunted *OR* Placated, not both. The most recent cancels out the other. The Placate will cancel ALL previous aggro you had generated, as Agge said. You can re-Taunt the critters, removing the Placate effect, but it's a waste of time and a needless loss of control.

Placate only affects targeting ability when used on a player by an NPC, or by another player in PVP.

Ok, well, I suppose I could grab that chance for heal even though it is reallllly low... or get the chance for lethal from Scirrocco or something...

I guess Blaster's Frozen Aura may get some use of it.


What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

Dumb idea.

As a tank, you don't want to be placating things in the first place, and any damage aura you might have would probably break it anyway.

You can put it in Charged Brawl on any character that has it though, including blasters.

But you just listed the best reason to slot it.

SR/Ice tank - no damage aura. How would this work for electric control's patch? Would they only be unable to target the patch since it is a pet?

Well, sure, if you're going that route.
Sometimes, when playing a tank, I'll walk up *near* a group of enemies and type /e taunt.
Gee, it sure LOOKS like I just taunted them.....

Who says you can not PVP inside a mission?
