Due to my playtime availability versus my SG, I spend a great deal of time in PUGs on Excelsior. There’s always good gaming going on and enough of us able to cover the rough patches.
Confront (and it’s friends) are the way that Scrappers keep AV aggro, so that one might not receive any adjustments.
If Placate was replaced by an AoE/Cone (especially on the older melee sets), we would definitely have to venerate the Captain as divinity.
Its hard for human calculation capabilities to keep up with that if a functioning AI. Honestly, so long as this one leans more towards Johnny 5 than Skynet, just look at the Bopper AI as a community benefit.
Just as an FYI, you can now leave your aura(s) active and just take the OAS (Only Affect Self) power from P2W to suppress them while stealthing (I’m not certain which Dev came up with that one, however, they should be venerated as true divinity).
