CoE Golems - Heat Vision?

Am I missing something here? In the Path 1 event where you have to disable the alarms via the console, my immediate thought as a Thief was “perfect”. As I run up to the console, the rest of my party have pretty much managed to pull the entire room in their direction, so I have free reign towards the console. For extra measure, I pop all of my stealth CDs and a refuge directly on top of the console. Keep in mind that my aggro is completely broken away before I’ve even entered stealth.

Then, the next swarm directly approach the console (I am still stealthed and my teammates are on the opposite side of the room and still supposedly have all the aggro), sit right on top of me and stare at me as the bombs count down to explode in my face. There is no physical way I could have been found unless a sci-fi-esque explanation is given. Is this an ability of the golems eg. heat vision? I would like it to be specified on the mobs at least. Otherwise, I’m wasting my time trying to be sneaky.

So, I sat down and wrote about 3-4 paragraphs as to why the golems are behaving the way they are. It has less to do with some heat vision sci-fi tech, and more about the mental state of the poor golems simply looking for hugs and friends.

In the end I decided not to post it. It was much too depressing. Suffice to say though, it’s your fault they explode because you are avoiding their hugs and adoration. You monster.
