[Fri Sep 22 20:49:39 2006] You are no longer feigning death, because a spell hit you.

And EQ changed the mechanics of spells/abilities before Expansions, to add AA abilities. This isn't new. So seeing your own links arguing this very fact only makes me think that FD not breaking on spell resist is working correctly.

when i fd, either to use it in a evade type way, fd to split or fd to save my life i...



always turn off auto attack!



esspecially when im tryin to fd off a mob because i caused to much agro <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT="[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]">



for me, it seems if i fd while attacking.. i fd good but there still scowling.. my only guess is i hit them while doin the FD.



every time i have a successful FD while not attacking, it works =]



also, if your being casted on by an npc.. fd AFTER the spell hits you, takes practice.. and may take a few times to do, if there chain casting or youve got 2+ caster types on you.



if you fd and a spell lands on you, fd will be broke.. youll get that message about how your no longer feigned.



turn off auto attack -> wait for like a split second -> fd

wait for spell to land on you -> fd



works for me!
Luclin Expansion. BEFORE the new UI was implemented. Find something on Monkly Business where it says you have a chance of your Feign Death not breaking on a successful spell resist.
