with the cone attack we can only hit our initial target untill others argo us then you can hit them also. but they have to argo.
But im not sure how that works in pvp whether or not the player has to argo you too. must test this.
Yes, however it still wasn't working. I would walk up to a group of Desert Demons (example) and get agroed by every one of em at the same time and blast with a cone attack but only the NPC that I actually had targeted was taking damage. Same happened on regular mobs.

Yes but where they all in a circle around you?? you see.. they must be within a 30 to 45 degree arc in front of you (front being the direction the NCP you are aiming is at to you *so basicly where your weapon is pointing* also.. I have just come out of the Sennex cave (aka Beetle cave) and i was able to hurt/damge and burn targets that were NOT agro to me.. and even they was not agro ti me after i did the damage and they were burning... Now this could be some sort of bug.. but i had like 10 NCP's agro on me at the time.. but i was facing a direction with more NCP's that were not agro to me.. and they were getting burned.. but would not agro me until one of the ones that was agro to died, could also be there is a limit to how many NCP's can agro you????
One point of note.. i did not set out to test this.. but did notice it.. cos it kept happening.. but remeber that all MOPs in Sennex cave are RED on map... maybe this could be different with yellow on map MOPs.
Hope that helps.
Yes, I understand, and the ones standing directly on front of me, other than the targeted one, were not getting damaged. The arc from the weapon dischrage would even pass right over them and still nothing.
And like you I did not set out to test this until I noticed that none of the targets that were attacking me in my weapon arc were taking any damage. I tried this over and over from different ranges (even thought the special has a limited range), and even while engaged I would move around as such so i had multiple targets within my weapon arc and still nothing. Could just be a test server thing going on.

this happens alot to me... doing mission on talus i'd tap the lair but only x-number of mobs would attack... i could even target one that wasn't attacking and kill it without it ever agroing me... but every time i one of the mobs that was attacking me died it would agro... i even tried dropping a bleed on every mob around me that hadn't agro'd yet... the bleed would just tick away and it would do its normal walk around/laydown untill i had killed something that had agro'd me... this was on torturs and mutant kumaars, neither of which have a ranaged attack...
on npc's i'll pick up like 5 that go melee and the rest stay ranged... then one of the melee dies and one of the ranged comes in for melee... it makes sence in a way... there is only so much room where melee could hit you... if there isn't enough room they don't do anything...
and maybe go ranged.. the fact of the matter is.. Sennex NCP's do more damage to me when using ranged attack compared to melee attack.. so in really... it would make sense to send in a few to tank me.. while the rest spam specials (YES these guyes spam specials e.g an NCP's rounds of attacks on me: Normalattack, DIzzy,Overcharge,Posturechange(Down), Normalattack, Overcharge... he dies.)
