Monk feign death fail rate

[gojita69]

I thought monk feign death was suppose to work significantly better @ skill 100. I seem to still fail it 2-3 times in a row. I don't know if FD received a buff during kunark or not but I know for a fact when I played around the xmas kunark came out I never failed Feign death this much!

[Yak]

Can someone please confirm this? I thought once you hit skill of 100, it never fails.

[Chanus]

From what I remember, it's still possible it can fail at 100... but it's a very slim chance.

2-3 times in a row seems unusual if it's happening repeatedly.

From level 1-30 FD is worthless.

[Aadill]

It always has a chance to fail, regardless of skill level. It should be very low at higher levels but there should always be a chance.

I found this source about some interesting facts on Feign Death for all classes. From what I recall, some of the re-aggro mechanics will be in place in Kunark, so this will be fun to see.

Flop twice is always nice.

Yeah, FD with a runspeed buff is an uber powerfull ability... I remember getting aggro when standing up at more of a distance..

After 100 FD was (almost) alwasy successfull unless you were hit as you were going down or a mob was casting on you and it landed after you flopped. The FD failure rate on the server is far far far to great above 100 skill.

Bumping this, sorry. Is anyone else having problems with the fd failure rate? The skill is maxed for my level at 160 on my 31 monk and I'm still failing fd 2, sometimes 3 times in a row. What the hell is going on with this? I've gotten killed twice in the last few days because of feign death failing multiple times.

[Rais]

I fail like 6 out of 10 FDs at level 60 maxed. It's retarded, but I don't have numbers to prove anything "classic".

[fullmetalcoxman]

It's like it has gotten worse as the skill has gotten higher. At first it sucked as expected, then it seems like it worked pretty good around 125 or so, now it's gone to shit again.

I played an Iksar Monk from Kunark release and passed 100 skill within a month after kunark release. Once you hit 100 it should hardly ever fail. To give my personal recolection I would say 1 in 100 attempts would fail.

I dont have a monk past 100 skill on p99 so I cannot compare, but from what I am reading, it seems way off.

I would also like to attempt to make a link between These FD fails, and casters fizzleing on trivial spells 3-4 times in a row.

I personally beleive there is a problem with the random chance or " number" generator.

double and triple FD fails past 100 skill and casters double and triple fizzleing past trivals should be a VERY rare occurance, from what it sounds like, people are winning the lotto every day. Making what should be 1 in 10,000 chance of happening, every day.

Necro fd works great!

I rarely get 2 fails in a row, but it happens.

[fullmetalcoxman]

Just for shits and giggles, I'll write down the rate the I fail FD. But even assuming 1 in 4 fails at my skill level, I'm going to go buy some lottery tickets, because I must be the luckiest MF on the planet.

[Arillious]

On live, even at 60 with max skill, fd still failed very so often, probably like 10% of the time.
