I used to have a macro set up when I played live. I had "/doability 1" (mend) and then "/doability 2"(fiegn death) and then "/con" on the next line. That way with a push of the button I could attempt mend, feign death and con the mob to see if feign was successful. A successful attempt the mob will con indifferent.

Great idea on the /con

I'm gonna add that to my macro on my Necro. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is how it used to be....

I don't remember spell:Feign Death ever failing. It should be 100% success.

That was the pros and cons of each type.

Monks - instant, no need to memorize, chance to fail.
necro/SK - 100% success, cast time, interuptable

This is how things changed...

Oh yeah it does fail. i'd say about 25% of the time. maybe a lil less. Death Peace is a bit better and has a much lower cast time. One trick I use is to macro my FD spell and have it cast three times. So you if you fizzle it still casts.

/pause 7, /cast 8 (or whatever gem your FD is on). and then repeat this once and the third line is just /cast 8

I just have to say FD is one of the coolest abilities in-game. For an AFKer, it's a true godsend. It's like the pause button/key in a single player game. This is one thing MMO's often miss.

It's like the people who design these think we don't have real lives.

One of the stumbling blocks with FD is when you're fleeing from caster mobs. If you feign while the caster is mid-flow casting a spell, it will still land on you and when you take the damage it exposes you as still being alive [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Only way to get around it is to eat the damage, and try FD as soon as it lands...tricky though in places like Mistmoore where there's occasions where a train includes more than 1 caster ;(

seems to work better if you manually turn of auto attack vs letting the spell do it. Mechanically im sure no difference, however i have observed this.
