Some FD lessons...

1. If you are being hit the FD is harder. The more mobs hitting you the more difficult. I try to get a little space before I FD.

2. If the MOB is a caster and is in midcast you're fucked. It won't stop the spell because you are FD and once the spell lands they will be on you like white on rice.

3. If you break aggro and the mob walks away don't get up. Wait for a message (usually takes a minute to two minutes) that says, "Your enemies have forgotten about you!" Otherwise, they will be coming back for you.
3. As has been said, no.

2. Only damaging spells, or dots with a damage component, or fear. Root/dots, things that you wouldn't imagine would make your character visibly cringe/react do not, as it were, *out* you to the mob as alive.

1. This may be so, that feigning as you're being swung on decreases success chance, but I can say of a certainty that having more, or higher level, mobs simply aggroed on you decreases success rate.

A couple tips for the monks out there:

First, make a feign-in-combat hotkey. /attack off. /doability X. /sit. /attack on. Pretty damn useful.

Be familiar with using f9 to change views, and obv. use line of sight.

Most sexily, feign as you round a corner and you just cast monk disintegrate. Stand up without waiting on the mob and it's like the mob ceased to be.


He recalled countering Sammael's last move with something particulary nasty, but he could not pull the memory to the surface. Not balefire. "Mustn't use that. Threatens the fabric of the Pattern. Not even for Ilyena? I would burn the world and use my soul for tinder to hear her laugh again."
