Hacked orbital cannon codes instantly aggroes mobs.

I am not sure if that item is "working as intended" (sic) or bugged, but the mobs rush at me as soon as the red reticle appears on the ground under their feet, which renders it practically useless at long range... Since this power is essentially a clone of the Gadgeteering power Orbital cannon, i'd imagine it would work similarly, with the reticle being simply a visual display and not something the mobs can actually see.

Once again, not sure if this is a bug or intentional, but all in all, it kinda defeats the whole point of the item, except perhaps in a boss fight where someone else is tanking.

Edit : after a couple more tries, i think i have isolated the problem : the item instantly places a plasma DoT on the mobs even before the cannon actually fires. Which is, clearly, a bug.

Maybe it's tachyon cannon - that burns enemy even before shoot; next version gonna apply that burn even before you pressed a button. On a serious note - yah that device's likely #BUKT.

Didn't test myself, but l also saw several reticles appear under several targets, and several beams were produced simultaneously on some alert - maybe that's Hacked Code too, but this one maybe intended.

At any rate, this is illogical that the reticle itself would cause a plasma DoT before the beam even fires. The reticle isn't supposed to be something tangible, for all i know.
