Ninjitsu: Smoke Flash?

While I'm aware that you don't get 'crit-Hide' status from using Smoke Flash, is it supposed to be aggroing a mob that hasn't even seen you yet?

Example: I'm in Hide and come upon a spawn of critters. I throw down Smoke Flash (thinking that it should do the same thing as Fire 'Trollers Smoke; instead, Hide drops, the spawn attacks me briefly and then goes into Placate mode.

Is this WAI?

Any version of placate has always worked like that, even the single-target ones. So yes, I think it's working as intended.

See, now I know I've used placate from hidden status and it hasn't broken hide. You can go in game right now and placate any mob you choose and you'll still be hidden to everyone in the spawn.

But where smoke flash is concerned you are quite right- it breaks hide. Which - along with its punitive cast time - makes it worthless.
