Dumb Monk FD Question

[SpartanEQ]

Thanks for the advice. I'm new to playing a monk, so I have no experience here.

I just mended while I was FD and it didn't seem to interrupt anything. What else can you do while FD that won't break it?

Mend is pretty much all you can do which is useful (that and /ooc, etc). Sense heading probably doesn't break it (although i do not have a specific recollection).

Destruction has a very good point which I forgot to mention. Losing hate entirely can be really difficult, especially with certain mobs. The only surefire way I know where 100% of times the mob will clear hate is when it returns to its spawn point, does an about face to whichever way it faces by default, and does nothing else.If it's a patrolling mob, it can be tricky. Even 2-5 minute waits while feigned didn't clear all aggro for me all the time. It normally did for any vanilla-classic dungeon, but the Kunark dungeons seemed far more complex in terms of pathing/etc. I always found borked pathing (see City of Mist Z-vector problems) and weird game mechanics issues that were never addressed. I almost always found a way to use them to my advantage though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Sometimes I just FD frog-hopped to a safe place and /quit while FD when nothing else worked (FD for 5 minutes+, sometimes more in large dungeons like Seb or something, but hate was still retained and a massive train would come at me when I got back up). You stay FD, but you go LD (linkdead) and get kicked out after a length of time. I would then log back in and go back to whatever I was doing.

Watch out though, I heard that was a bannable offense on live - never happened to me, but I am circumspect to follow admin rules here. Unless I see them say that is okay, I won't do it here since it is kind of abusing the /quit command to clear your hate list.
