Both my RL and HPB are working as intend and get a full group aggro on me. I found with the HPB I have to make sure there is no one in front or behind my target for 40m or they will aggro. I even had an NPC walk out in front of my target, the critcal flashed above both their heads and they both aggro'd, however only my target took damage. Also my acid beam aggro'd everything in a 20m radius, so this got put away. So every weapon I had from commando became useless when going after large high level mobs. Yes I have the LP but I have many other weapons with much much higher damage and DPS. Trust me when doing large group rebel mission and you have over 100 stormies spawn in one area, the last thing you want to do is aggro them all.

I am having the same experience with my weapons. I do not just aggro the mobs withn 6m of the target, I do so in the area, even over at the next lair and through walls. I find myself not using my commando weapons at all so I can hit with more precision, which in the post-CU world is a reality. Not sure if this is how it was intended but I definately find my commando religated to PvP only

My RL has the same problems too (and that's rocket launcher, not real life...)
