Soft cc and agro - on ARSE

[Mir2]

I do not know how certain cc is supposed to work, so I do not know if this is a bug.

 

I was farming with my Ars/Ars Dom on the asteroid.  Tank taking care of everything and I was hovering above him, invisible (cloaking device), doing nothing.

 

I decided to toss out a sleep grenade on a group that was outside of Tank's taunt range (they were throwing boulders at tank).  Soon after I did that, they threw their boulders at me and killed me.

 

Then I tried the same thing, but with Smoke Canister.  Same effect.

 

Are those powers supposed to cause aggro?  I assumed it was passive (like Illusion's Confuse) and MOB would ignore me.

sleep nade does damage and alerts, so expect retaliation

smoke can should not have alerted or aggro'd unless maybe you have a proc slotted in to it? ie. damage proc or the -rech debuff proc from dark watcher?

Thanks for the feedback. 
 

I am completely unslotted. 
 

Sleep grenade does damage?  Why?  Mobs wake when then receive damage. 
 

Guess I need to look at descriptions more closely.

ya it does a decent chunk of aoe damage and then puts them to sleep immediately after. Like an aoe mezmerize if you will.

 

dunno why cannister aggro, it isn't supposed to
