Feign Death in PvP...

[mattmandude]

<DIV>I've never been able to get any use out of this in PvP :smileysad:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>People have told me that it un-targets you, but I'm having doubts. With that said, I've tried several things to try to get some use out of this skill, but nothing's worked. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>One thing I tried was making the following maco: ;useability Feign Death ; /stand (not sure if that coding's right, but you get the idea).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyways, have any of you found a strategy/tactic that made feign death usefull in PvP?</DIV>

Pets still work the same as NPCs. If you get any kind of pet on you (be it dumbfire or the shammy dog) you can FD and the pet will stop attacking you and will return to it's owner. And since dumbfire pets can't be controled, you just lost yourself a dot <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

<DIV>Wow, that's awesome! Thanks for the tip.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Are there any others?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Oh yeah, something else that's always bothered me, I've never gotten the knockback abilities to actually knock someone backwards... I've tried the old "kick the mage from the hill trick", but it's never worked. Any suggestions?</DIV>

It works sometimes.. The only benefit it has is the enemy untargets you but it's not like they're going to think you're really dead. Pretty much useless.<div></div>

It's fairly useless unless you manage to duck behind a hill or use that wheel with shadowstep on it to step out of direct sight. If they aren't a tracker they may assume you died to someone else. It's no evac, I wish they had done something with it on pvp so you couldn't be targetted for a few seconds as long as you remained feigned.That said, I'm happy with my monk on pvp. Scouts suck. Wardens aren't any fun though. :/<div></div>

<P>Well, if we have classes with Evac, my own *personal* opinion, is that feign death should have a lower success rate, but is an immunity to targetting by players, or npcs. Granted, that's uber, but with a *much* lower success rate.</P>

[mattmandude]

<DIV>Yah, that'd be pretty awesome. Lets say, a 30% chance, and when successful you are immune to PvP damage, and/or perhaps they really "fake" your death. That would be hilarious! With a "gained fame" message, and "you killed..."</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Truth be told, I was a little dissapointed with my feign death when I first started, having big expectations for it in PvP. But then again, I'm not gonna go threaten my account over it <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>
