FD troubles

[TrueJohn]

I just wanted to see if FD is working as intended or I don't know what I am doing.

I was in west karana on my necro hunting at millers farm and tiny miller aggroed my pet, since he is blood red and about 20 levels above me I just FDed where I stood and he killed my pet. He never aggroed on me just my pet.

I waited til he pathed away, roughly 15 seconds and I stood up, immediately he comes charging back at me so I ran a bit south toward the river and FDed again. I waited about 30 seconds this time, he pathed away almost as soon as I fded. I ran down to the river and sat to med so i could make a new pet, and all of a sudden there he is again charging over the hill.

So i ran east along the river about 20 seconds til I was a good ways from the farm and FDed again, waited about a minute then stood up and clicked my CoS as soon as i stood, sat down to med again. Here he comes again charging back down the river at me.

I ended up having to run half way to NK zoneline and then camped out. Am I missing something about FD and using it incorrectly? I don't have a weapon equiped so I didn't have auto on. I know he is a roamer so there isn't a set spot for him to reset at. Did I just have really bad luck or was I just using FD totally wrong. The first 3 FDs definitely gave him enough time to get back to the area he roams in, I think the last 2 times I was so far away he didnt have time to get all the way back to the farm.

sounds like it was just a little buggy in resetting. it happens with roamers.

Sounds buggy as well on that particular mob. I have had to Feign Death a few times recently against Iron Guardians in Nektulos who are also roamers. But once they get a safe distance away, I stand up and they have not be charging back at me. Granted I am a Monk, so it might just be Necro FD.

Had similar issues with hill giants.

roamers will never lose agro from an FD, if mob is under lvl like 35 i think it is, if u stand up and hit CoS right when u stand u will lose agro, if its over lvl 35 u wont. when u FD /q out n come back in to clear agro

just fd and /exit next time to shake aggro.

[TrueJohn]

ok FD and /q sounds good, I was thinking about doing it but I wasn't sure if my character would stand upon LDing and just get crushed but if they actually do stay in the same position that will make it much more useful. Thank you.

That's true on shaking aggro by FD and then /quit. However if he himself had no aggro and he FD then the mob shouldn't go after him. This happens to me time to time in OT while fear kiting. My pet picks up a red saber tooth and starts to die. I FD before he is dead and I just jump right back up. If I am not in radius aggro range the tiger just wanders off
