Going back to the original post of fixing drains.
I have not read all the 5 pages of ranting but just the first and last so i'm not sure if this has been proposed yet:
To fix drains, or at least the nanite enhanced ones, how about changing the -AAO to a conditional one like the lower drains have.
Plunder Skills (Advanced) has -211 and combined with Divest Skills (Advanced) -204 that becomes a total of -415 AR in PvP and -208 AAO in PvM only.
Since the nanite ones have no condition for the -AAO combined they do -500 AR from the skill draining + -300AAO from the AAO debuff. so thats from -415 AR on the normal ones to -500-300 = -800 on the nanite ones.
So put a NPC target req on the -AAO.
