FD Fail rate since Velious

I'll start this saying Monk is all I've mainly played since about a month after EQ launch in 99...

P99 Kunark was somewhat bearable with FD fail rate, didn't feel it was complaint worthy.
P99 Velious, first few weeks.. I didn't mind losing hours of exp every raid, but it's starting to get pretty painful.

Don't get me wrong - I love a good challenge, but when pulling turns into ''Let's see if i'm lucky enough to flop 5 times without failing!..." It isn't really skill anymore. 4/5 of my deaths are from FD failure. Failures going up to 3 FDs in a row. I have also heard rumors of FD failures happening 4x in a row from some people.

I don't remember as much of classic on live as I do Kunark+, but I vividly remember gasping at double FD fails because they were so very uncommon. Here, they happen multiple times every day. Flopping from one end of TOV to the other was never a gamble because of FD fails, it was more a gamble from actual errors.

Anyone able to help give physical evidence to help me back this up?




PS: While i'm in this forum.. on live when you would stand and throw jav, then feign before jav landed, the mob that was hit by the jav would inch a yard closer to you while the others stayed in place. This would also reset the standing time of the mob you hit. Am I crazy or was this a thing too? :P
