The last post says
Nah, still possible to outdamage the droners. Take an AoE cannon (Doomie or Mal) AND a direct fire weapon. Load yourself up with energy and xray armour, and have your PPU with you. Go for direct damage when the droner has most of the aggro, get the base commie down, AoE if on own/tank has most of the aggro. Recast absorber often (shields wear down). If you really want to rush through it, have a second damage dealer come along too and just bash the hell out of the commie.
This to me sounds like its suggested to Kill steal from droners why would you othervice try to outdamage them when they have the aggro?
Yes I know what PVE killstealing is and in my view this post and the whole conclusion of the thread is that one should let a droner take the aggro and then outdamage ( ie. Kill steal ) mobs from him. As far as I remember the person that have done the most damage to a mob have the first loot rights.
Thats why I asked if its generally allowed to Kill Steal since it used to be something one could get into trouble of as its considered harrasment.
Just wondering since Ive started playing online games ( in the 1990s ) the person that first hits/engages the mob and start tanking it have the "right" to the mob and anyone else engaging it without permission is trying to Kill steal it.
