They made it that there is something like a 90% chance that the other creatures dont aggro on you if you hit one of their buddies??? Correct?



That means if your shooting at a pack of (aggressive) crazed durnis, 1 crazed durni your shooting will aggro on you and the other 10 will stand around like dummies.



UNFORTUNATELY WHAT THIS REALLY DID WAS.........



If your attacking 1 (non-aggressive) sharnaff bull, then there is a 10% chance the other 5 (non-aggressive) sharnaffs standing around will attack you.



WHAT THIS DOES IS DO THE TOTALLY COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THE DEVS WERE INTENDING TO DO, which is SINGLE PULL.

Acctually this isn't really about creatures being aggro or not. Sharnaffs I belive.. as most other creatures.. are social.. meaning if one member of the herd is attacked all creatures will defend it. So attacking a non-agressive herd will in most cases (if they are social) result in all attacking you anyway. This new function does help.

1. Crazed Durnis do not BAF.


2. Shanaff Bulls do.



I just conceal-shotted a lair of wood mites dead and not a single pull (30 critters in total). Those are social (brings all friendlies). The 2 boss types I HS2'ed and they did not assist. I think it's working.

I was using the master rifleman 100% pull chance to haul Jantas out of my missions without pissing off all their buddies before I was ready. I think it works great.

not master but it worked great in the nightsister cave. 3 of us and a couple nerfed pets made it almost to the end. the boss has 460k HAM, heavy armor, and100& resist to almost everything,and some really cool force moves. just stacking mind bleeds would draw one of the witchs form the group, let her follow me 30-40m from the rest sic the pets and start the burns. only one time it failed and we had 3 agro me (that sucked).

I'm confused. Can we now use any shot and only get a single pull, or is it only our conceal shot that does that?


And does the conceal shot still mean no aggro?

conceal shot works but they only agro if you miss with it. my usual routine is 2 coneal shots, then stack mind bleeds. have my pets set on guard so they meet it half way, when it does agro. usuallt the first bleed hits about then. i'll either work on their mind or KD them. depends on the mob. work 95% of the time for me

This never seems to work for me. Personally I think it is broken cause I have tried to pull mobs with this and almost always get agroed by a social mobs.

Im finally 4, 4, 4, 3. Last night I was shootin up some Pickets, and each one I shot would push away from me by about 40meters. I had to chase the **edit** things down all night. Finally got pissed and bled them all, went incapped and waited for the minds to die.
