Just curious if there's a list compiling which enemies Decoy works against. It felt like everything in the Collector faction was ignoring it yesterday, but I dunno how much was just my perception.
I searched the library and couldn't find anything there, and searching the forum for "decoy" mostly resulted in posts about how useful the average PUG is. 
Only "Melee Creatures" are programmed to outright Ignore pets
(Brutes, Swarmers,Husks and Abominations are definitely in that group and I would guess seeker swarms/plagues as well)
anything else I'm guessing would treat the decoy as a viable target
Dragoons don't appear to attack turrets but Phantoms sometimes do
Non-melee enemies and non-bosses. So, yeah, Atlas is a melee character and Phantom is not.
Logic.
Not sure Atlas is "Melee Creature"
Not sure Atlas is "Melee Creature"
He doesn't attack the Decoy or the Turrets, does he? That makes him a melee creature

Yeah, not being able to figure out how Bioware decided what was and wasn't a "melee creature" is why I'm hoping that there's a list somewhere...

He didn't attack the Turrets before the change was made either if I recall

lolivia pls
To lazy to read any posts today, but isn't it as simple as enemy enemy that isn't pure melee? And, er, I guess an Atlas?
lolivia pls
Liked for gif I didn't have
and will likely use later
All Geth units
All Cerberus units except atlas and dragoons
Collector troopers and Captains
Cannibals and Marauders (Banshees kinda fall for the decoy - they try to warp the decoy and use the nova attack)
I've only seen Decoy work against Geth. Every other faction generally ignores it
Sticking it in a doorway or other choke point makes it harder to ignore

And/Or make sure shock evolution is chosen.

The change only said melee creatures ignore pets..it didn't say anything about pets ignoring them
my Turret has killed plenty of Brutes
You guys remember when bosses didn't use to ignore pets? You could totally cripple reapers and cerberus with a combat drone. It was great.
It's quite useful on Plat, especially on white when the Banshees lead the parade and stop in front of it. (Place near doorway) It's quite a bumping into each other and "Oi, move on!" from the large units behind then.

Every Geth unit ....sometimes I get Collector Troopers / Captains to fall for the Volus decoy....but it's rare .. Once in awhile a really stupid Cerberus trooper will fall for it..If they round a corner and the decoy is there and you are far behind it. Cannibals ignore it and me..just go about their business.
Volus Decoy>>>>Salarian Decoy
Volus Decoy>>>>Salarian Decoy
pls xpln?
I find the Volus decoy works more than the Salarians if ever at all against anything that isn't Geth
