How do you give Mobs Increased Aggro/Perception Radius?

[Captain Yesterday]

Trying to get the mobs to aggro from as far away as possible. Any ideas?

Find factions with Tactics, or make Custom enemies with +Perception Powers, such as Heightened Senses.

(For the record; I'm not entirely sure if the Architect Entertainment versions of Heightened Senses have the +Perception buff.)

Thanks.

Heightened Senses? What powerset is that in/under?

[CrudeVileTerror]

There's a version under Willpower, Ninjitsu, and Super Reflexes I think.

That unfortunately gives the mobs tohit and damage bonuses, which is probably not what you're wanting to do. Unless you are, then... go for it.

IMO the best powerset for this is Ninjitsu (armor). It contains Danger Sense, which gives the mob +60% perception at all times with relatively few other attached effects. (You can also use SR or Willpower as noted above).

 

Just be aware that if even one member of the group has the extra Perception, they effectively all do.
