ZorkNemesis Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Been leveling a /Ninja Blaster and I was partially excited for Smoke Flash as a nice tool for getting out of trouble, but my attempts at using it are making me wonder if it's implemented correctly (I know Ninja Training wasn't a set on live). The power reports that it should placate targets affected by it by 300% for roughly 6 seconds, but any time i've used it the placate effect animation plays (the pink swirl at the target's head) but they just keep attacking me like nothing happened. I've attempted this on a few groups' minion enemies (Apparations, Carnival of War, Drudges, DUST) and everything has completely ignored the placate thus far. The enemies are unaffected by DoTs or even statuses/debuffs (other than the power's own -res). Am I not understanding placate mechanics or is something just not working when I try to smoke out on things? Is the -res applied by the power breaking the placate effect perhaps?

ZorkNemesis Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 Tested in PvP with my alternate account, Smoke Flash's Placate effect is not applying at all. A brute with next to no enhancements and no toggles running was not placated whatsoever, however the damage resistance debuff applied and the chatlog stated "you placated $target."

Redlynne Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Yup. That's a bug. Verbogeny is one of many pleasurettes afforded a creatific thinkerizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
