It can't be used in every single damage ability a player has. Spectral and Cognitive are 12%-12.5%~ at one and and 20%-25% at the other end. Spectral is soft and Cognitive is hard control. Is Fear/Placate considered soft? Is Placate basically a negative aggro/hate debuff? Pretty sure it's an aggro prevention and removal tool rather than a monstrous perception debuff at any rate. I've never looked at the numbers for that yet. How does placate work on DoTs by the way? If you hit an enemy with a slow dot and slam placate as soon as possible, does the next tick of the previous ability instantly remove the benefits of placate? I assume so. I guess I'd have to know more about it and what the chance would be. Like it could really wreak havoc due to RNG on a team. A tanker could nail a ton of placate on rolls while a blaster could roll duds and get all the aggro, although you'd kinda want to shoot a tanker that goes for placate interface. Interesting. Last I recall, and it could've been changed, DoT ended the Placate effect, once the next DoT hit. If you have a damage aura, you're not going to be placating an NPC either. It'd be over as soon as it was cast. I would imagine, the placate effect would only be useful on a few builds and on teams when you don't want to be targetted.

Mobs just sit there, and you are right, it would have to be low chance - but I also already don't care for how low Cognitive and Spectral are. Flint Eastwood
