Aggro from Wep Enchants, especially regarding Weakness to Elements

I understand this is an issue that many players are already aware of and has persisted for some time, but I was hopeful that the patch would fix it. ZOS Devs, please comment to confirm that you are aware of and working on a fix for this.
The problem: Skills such as Weakness to Elements and its morphs are intended to be non-aggro inducing skills that can be applied to targets before combat. These skills will work as intended (i.e. not pull mobs) only if the weapon in hand does not have a weapon enchant or if that enchant is out of charges. Obviously, forcing a player to choose between being able to apply this debuff before combat or to have a charged enchanted weapon is not working as intended.
I just confirmed that this bug still exists on PTS by applying Elemental Drain to a mob with a Destro staff that was out of charges (no aggro) and then charging the staff and reapplying the skill (aggro'd).
Devs, please deal with this issue ASAP. I really like Elemental Drain, but I cannot use it effectively with a bug like this persisting.

✭✭@ToRelax , I cannot recall the patch, it was a long time ago, but ZOS stated their position on this by saying that "it should no longer aggro as part of the patch etc...".
Interesting. Well for PvE I suppose. ^^DAGON - ALTADOON - CHIM - GHARTOK

✭✭✭✭They had it fixed but it came back in 1.6.
Do spell power pots still trigger a skill GCD in 1.7? It's so annoying that I just use trash pots now.Edited by Armitas on August 7, 2015 2:01PMRetired.
