FD doesn't fail without a message.

Factually incorrect. You will not get a "fallen to the ground" message in at least two FD fail cases:

1. If a mob hits you with an offensive spell, aoe or otherwise.

2. You attacked the mob right before you FD'ed, via something like having auto attack on.

There may be more scenarios too.

Thank you for continuing to concede via trolling.

Don't need a cancelattack macro for using feign death. I've never used one. Easy enough to turn attack off.

Feign death fails on its own with the "fallen to the ground" message. It will also fail due to external factors--with no message--via a few other means. Trying to feign with autoattack running breaks it. Spells landing on an otherwise successfully-feigned player will break the effect. It can also break from incoming melee if a swing lands at just the right time as the player tries to feign. This latter case tends to be uncommon on P1999, but it does happen once in awhile and is often a cause for confusion due to its relative rarity in practice.

Exactly. This is correct.

I manually turn off autoattack on my SK as well. For my Monk I have a macro since it is instant cast.

I agree. It's very strange that you believe the mob attacking you while FD'ed is a success.

For reference, a successful FD is a scenario in which the mobs are not attacking you.

No, FD cannot fail without a message unless you do something wrong like not turning off autoattack.

What do you call a scenario where the mob is attacking you after you FD'ed?

A failure in situational awareness.
