<span><blockquote><hr>Nerill wrote:<div>/cry</div> <div> </div> <div>:smileysad:</div><hr></blockquote>I dont think it is just FD that is borked.. I was in CL last night helping a guildy kill fallen guardians for his AQ...  another guy was there doing similar, yet solo..  I watched him go up to a group of mobs with 4 total but one guardian.. he killed the guardian, did a /yell and took off...  the mobs reset after a bit and ran back to their position and went back to normal agro mode (red border on name).... this guy came back in the area, but was still outside of agro range (I know this because he was further away than we were from the mobs and we were not agro'd) and BAM off goes the three mobs chasing him... Was funny to watch but was definately not normal agro that I am used to..</span><div></div>

<DIV>FD isn't broken. Moorgard confirmed in another thread back when the problem first came up that it has to do with the mobs no longer chasing you for as long as they do if they agro onto you without engaging them.</DIV>

Ya Evac does the same thing too =p  Evac'd from bottom of Sol E and a couple mins after evac the encounters broke finally

<P>I'm having a problem with FD not working, period.  The mobs never believe it!  I can understand it failing sometimes, but it seems like it fails ALL the time.</P> <P>I have the AppIV of Play Dead and am at lvl 33.  I can't even shake green con mobs with it - they still pound on me.</P> <P>Is anyone else having this problem?</P>

<DIV>Looks like we wont be getting the fix for this till LU8, caught this on <A href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=tup&message.id=50#M50" target=_blank>test notes</A>:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Feign death now works correctly against creatures that become aggro due to proximity without being locked.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>On a side note, Tagarr if you wouldnt mind or if anyone else here has the stats on stop heart adept 3 could you post them here or pm me the details?</DIV>

<DIV>Easiest way to work around this is to get the mob to lock in combat with you.  Its only broken if you get proximity agro on a mob (i.e. run into agro range but do not hit the mob) and then try to FD.  Taunts or ranged attacks work well for this if you are worried about getting hit.</DIV>

<P>Hey guys - I just read the notes for the latest patch on the test server, and guess what?  Monks get some love! <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P><A href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=tup&message.id=50" target=_blank>http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=tup&message.id=50</A></P> <P>And I quote:</P> <P><STRONG><FONT color=#ffcc00><EM>*** Spells and Combat Arts ***</EM></FONT></STRONG></P> <P><EM></EM> </P> <P><EM>- Spirit of the Wolf now lasts 30 minutes instead of 15.</EM></P> <P><EM><STRONG>- Feign death now works correctly against creatures that become aggro due to proximity without being locked.</STRONG></EM></P> <P><EM>- When charm wears off a creature, it can again be targeted with the "target nearest enemy" key.</EM></P> <P><EM>- Hostile point-blank area of effect spells will no longer initiate a recast timer or consume resource pools or components when there are no hostile targets in the radius.</EM></P> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So, perhaps when this goes live, FD will be at least partially fixed....?  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>/em crosses her fingers.</DIV>
