Fix smoke grenade-like powers

Some to-hit debuff powers can slot accurate to-hit debuff sets, while others cannot, and there doesn't seem to be any reason for this.

Powers that CAN take accurate to-hit sets:
Trick Arrow/Flash Arrow
Traps/Seeker Drones
Ninjitsu/Blinding Powder

Powers that CANNOT take accurate to-hit sets:
Fire Control/Smoke
Devices/Smoke Grenade
Night Sidow Training/Smoke Grenade

Why not let them all take accurate to-hit debuff sets?

I imagine it has to do with the set pieces involved and/or the set bonuses... They probably don't want the latter three sets getting even MORE damage (Cloud Senses, Chance for Negative energy Damage) or perhaps it has to do with the defense values offered by Siphon Insight.

Though I agree. I don't think those reasons are good enough, and honestly think "Tohit Debuff" sets should all carry an accuracy component, as all tohit debuffs need a tohit check, don't they?

Um... no?

No accuracy required:
  • Darkest Night
  • Chill of the Night (auto power PBAoE used by Dark Servant)
  • Radiation Infection
  • Liquefy
  • Hurricane
  • Flash Arrow*
  • Earthquake
  • Smoke*
  • Smoke Grenade (Night Widow version)

* Autohit in PvE, but not in PvP

I may have missed some, but not all -tohit powers require a hit check.

Ahh... See... I always think of Darkest Night as a Damage debuff, rather than accuracy. >_< And I never got to the point of using Liquefy or Hurricane (always got annoyed at the sets) Don't know why Earthquake and Radiant Infection slipped my mind, though.

Thankies!
