Flash Arrow gets aggro

[Scarlet Shocker]

I've never seen this before but suddenly I'm popping off Flash Arrow and I get attacked.

 

I'm running SuperSpeed and Combat Jumping and I've normally been able to get pretty close to foes and pop FA off to become almost invisible - but now from even a distance they notice me, attack at range and charge. I've picked up a few Alphas unexpectedly this way. This is only very recent - Ihave no clue what changed. My build seems solid and I have no reason to think I should be attracting aggro (lvl 50 Defender, TA/Sonic)

 

What's going on here? It's making one of my prime opening powers useless

You haven't slotted a proc in it have you?

I was playing TA in the closed beta and Flash Arrow worked as intended. And on Live I can't say I've seen it causing aggro. Perhaps, as Parabola mentioned, you have a proc going off somewhere causing the issue?

Thankyou so much. I need to respec

Yeah, damage procs and debuff procs are out, but if it's a self-buff proc like Siphon Insight's +to-hit, you should be fine.

We all do silly stuff like that! 😅 At least it's a (relatively) easy fix.

[Scarlet Shocker]

but it's ideal as a proc mule!

 

Thanks for help peoples

Quick update: A respec turned into a project but the problem is fixed and the toon is much better than before - so thanks for help!

You could have just unslotted the proc IOs.

[Scarlet Shocker]

I could have, but if I'd done that I'd have two wasted slots. So I spent the afternoon tweaking... and I stopped by to see my friend Cap'n Mako and ask if his buddy wanted to join my team.

 

Overall performance is much better
