Summer Block Buster, 4 Sentinels, Vulnerability makes all AVs run

Summer Block Buster

Windows: team of 4 Sentinels. any time Vulnerability was cast on any of the AVs, they immediately started running. We tried it on all AVs in both features. It was stated that the new Sentinel ability "Vulnerability" is non-aggroing, so why does it make all AVs run.

AVs tend to run when no one in the group has a form of a taunt power.  Made worse with burn and rains

iirc, -res can have that effect

Did another SBB, with a Sentinel, team had a tank with taunt and used it.  Made sure to use Vulnerability on all the AVs, no running. 

 

The 4 Sentinel team was a lot of fun, we did kill 53 Ninjas and 78 Monkeys, my best on that badge.

 

Thanks for the info.

There are a lot of different things that can trigger "panic" AI.

One of them is DoTs. Another is taking damage when the target cannot be hit, so if the Sentinel at the top of the aggro list was Defense based that can have an impact.

The thing with Vulnerability is confusing...the ability is tagged Enemes Will Not Notice This Attack, but I don't know how the various effects play with AI...

One day the devs will bite the bullet and delete the fear code(s) but that day is not today.
