/traps becoming /devices in cutscenes and clone arcs

[Arbegla]

So, I play a bot/traps MM, and during cut scenes of my character, especially during the Pandora's Box Signature Story Arc, I notice a 'targeting drone' power that my character is using, even though I don't have access to that power at all.

 

I also notice that when my character is 'cloned' either via Posi 1, or any other 'shadow clone, fight your clone, etc' battles, my character is spawned as a /devices, complete with Smoke Grenade, Targeting Drone, and other /device powersets, not the /traps power sets that I am.

 

Please let me fight a real clone of /traps, instead of a /device clone 🙂

I suspect that the AI for the Traps powerset doesn't exist for NPCs, so the server is substituting one that it does have. You see a similar lack of sophistication with Arbiter Sands in Jim Temblor's story arc, where he doesn't really control the Arachnos drones of his; he just keeps resummoning them.
