Why did I die?

A failure in situational awareness.

Can you turn off Ripostes? Last time I checked, it isn't player error to have an ill-timed riposte cause an FD failure. This will cause an FD failure without a "fallen to the ground" message.

Also, thank you for agreeing with me that there are other methods to check if FD failed besides looking for the "fallen to the ground" message.

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

That is not FD failing. That is the mob realising that they had been tricked. FD was successful, but the mobs are smart and can work out a successful FD happened and change their opinion based on new information...

Lol that is a good analogy. Sadly the mob does not deign to provide a specific message like "you have fallen to the ground" when realizing it has been bamboozled. It will still attack you in the same manner as when FD randomly fails. That is why you /con it, so you can see if it is wearing a scowly face or not. Mobs are apparently bad at hiding their emotions, and thus reading their emotions and actions is more reliable.

Hey, uh, I have a FD question.

Does casting a heal or other beneficial spell on someone who has successfully feigned death break it?

No, it doesn't affect feign. You can receive heals/etc as much as you like whilst feigned out. I make use of this regularly when duo'ing with the wife's shaman.

Also, dot damage running does not break feign, provided the effect was put on the player before feigning out. Perhaps the most confusing is that a monster casting cancel magic won't break feign the way other spells do. I believe it's coded as "beneficial." Seeing a monster casting dispell is practically a relief.

As you can see, Troxx and Toxigen continue to concede via trolling. I am not sure why they think spamming the thread is making them look good, or correct.

Toxigen still seems to believe an FD is a success when the mob is hitting you while you are on the ground.

[Toxigen]

Yep FD succeeded, you didn't get the fallen to the ground message.

But you failed your situational awareness check. Sorry you don't got flop success hope this helps.
