Feign Death Comments

<DIV>love FD, is very appropriate to our class, gives a ton of flexibility</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>and no, this isn't another post questioning whether FD really only fails as infrequently as advertised</DIV> <DIV>but i do have 2 comments:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>1.  when FD fails, i am left lying on the ground stunned, and must cancel FD, then use my self-heal, and then try FD a second time...my comment is, why does it stun me?  if a mage's spell is interrupted, it launches again automatically, and yet when FD fails, i must find the FD icon in my spell effects window, right click, select cancel, etc etc...given that FD has a recast timer and so can't be immediately attempted a second time when it fails, why do the devs feel it's necessary to stun me when i use it?  r there other arts/spells in the game that carry the same penalty or is FD unique?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>2.  if i time my FD such that a roaming mob aggros me but doesn't have time to hit me, why does the roamer now cease to roam, and instead camps me forever til i cancel FD?  isn't much of a reward for nice timing</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Shock</DIV> <DIV>70 Bruiser</DIV> <DIV>The Bazaar</DIV>

You can thank the devs for the new FD-camping mobs. They started doing this with EOF.<div></div>

<P>tyvm for your replies</P> <P>i had no idea that /stand cancelled feign</P> <P>i just created a /stand macro and put it next to the FD button on my hotbar, it works great for cancelling feign</P>

Press the "X" key on your keyboard... does the exact same thing and your fingers are usually right there anyways (movement keys are right above it).As for the camping mobs, they can sometimes get stuck like that (had it happen before EoF too).For that you can reset them by getting up, moving a bit and forcing the mob to move from that spot, then FD'ing again. This usually breaks them from their non-pathing bug.<div></div>

My problem with Feign Death is that it fails far too often, even with Master I it fails too often. The Master I says Feigns Death 86% of the time but it feels more like 50/50 in everyday use. I have had it fail twice in a row which is usually enough to kill me unless I am FD with full health. <div></div>

In another level I'll get to use the lvl 70 FD, which again I got the ad1 version & it's 95%.
