Placate - this isn't the stalker you are looking for

[Frosticus]

Here's a little demonstration of placate. I'm mostly using it defensively here, but you do get a bit of me using it offensively for double energy focus. Basically I placate the group I don't want involved and then use the offensive boost against my target.

 

This build is a bit different than what you generally see from a defensive perspective, but that is a different discussion.

His webnade only checks ranged def, so I'm webnadded most of the fight. Crimson has quite a bit of defense. His cloaking device is 30% and he also has elude, so that is annoying.

 

The fight is lvl 54 Agent Crimson + 4 Ballista EB allies

No insp/amps/temps/lore

 

First video is with no placate. I just attempt to "scrap". I actually survive quite a bit longer than I thought given their tohit floor is around 9-12% for various attacks. Could I "win" this encounter? doesn't look like it...not with this spec.

 

Second video is using placate. As you can see it is about as easy as it gets

It also has a very fast cast time now. 

Extremely useful power.

I think this video more clearly demonstrates how powerful placate is.
