One of the confusing aspects of this, however, is that a successful FD should cause the mob to stop swinging. So how could they swing and hit you and break a successful FD if the FD was successful? FD either stops them from attacking you or it doesn't.

Logically, the only reason it should fail is if the mob had an in-progress swing - but there's really no such thing as an in-progress swing unless there's lag - so ultimately the issue is lag. I'm not even certain that's the issue since I never saw SOE take the issue on directly - it's just what lots of experience (and FD-related deaths) led me to believe. That's why I built an entire framework on how to help FD work (see my first post in this thread).
