placate pretty much makes the target ignore you and even unable to target you until you attack them or it wears off. So it shouldn't aggro if it fires.
I recently slotted this in Poison Gas Arrow for my Ill/TA. Placate takes a foe who is aggroed on you and placates the foe -- turning off the aggro so that, in effect, the foe forgets you are there. Not only does it not notify the enemy, but it does the exact opposite -- it "un-notifies" enemies who may already know you are there. This makes it a perfect addition to Mass Hypnosis, in that not only will you not notify foes with the power, but it will turn away foes who would otherwise attack you when they wake up.

A little caveat for this proc though. The placate is only mag 2 and only lasts 8 seconds. It will also break if you deal damage to the target. Of course, if someone else wakes up your sleeping mobs it will at least prevent them from targeting you for the duration of the placate.

I have this slotted in my Mind Controller's Mass Hypnosis power, but am wondering if that was a mistake.
1) What does Placate actually do? I know Stalkers can do it, but am not sure how it works.
2) Does it notify enemies? I fear I've screwed up the non-notify element of Mass Hyp by slotting this.
