Might be helpful for a necro to do the same. Sure seems like it can't hurt anyways. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Another 'it-can't-hurt' tip is to make an audio trigger for "[yourname] has fallen to the ground," so you'll have a distinct cue each time your FD fails.

Just dinged 30 on my SK...so necros/SKs do get a fail message for failed FD? Guess I haven't seen it yet. Just a TON of fizzles lol!

Your abjuration skill affects your percentage chance of FD failing, besides fizzling. Necros and SKs get no FD skill, so ChanceToFail is based off the casting school.

FD will break if you are hit by a spell that was cast prior to you FDing. Proper protocol for FDing in dungeons is to round a corner, wait for the spell to hit, then FD.

Autoattacks have nothing to do with mob attack animations and will not break FD, unless it has failed. Same with dots on you or a mob, they will not interrupt a successful FD.

What do you mean?

If you fd with attack on it most certainly will not work.

I don't think this is correct. The rate of failed FD's (not fizzles) seems pretty constant regardless of abjuration skill.

[Yinikren]

I'm pretty sure your casting skill affected fail chance. And I was talking about the mob autoattacking, not you. I haven't tested autoattacking and FDing on this server.

I made an audio trigger for fizzles and now I'm deaf. Would not recommend.

lmao A+. so true..

I also found out the hard way the other day that if you FD while a mob is feared, they don't care. They'll return to punching you in the face once the fear wears off. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Seeing some of these posts seems kinda odd to me, as Feign Death has been nothing but reliable for me. DoTs being active, mobs being feared, pets doing the macarena; feign death has always stuck except the two times I got a "Qojesh has fallen to the ground" message. Note this is with max abjuration for my level.

[Athosblack]

I have to FD a few times, or more, before the mob stops bum rushing me. It's frustrating, but it keeps me on my toes even when I FD>

So what are the actual rules for feign death?

What I know.

Feign Death is an abjuration spell. Does your skill in abjuration have an affect on if you succeed or fail the feign death attempt? Does level or any other factor play in the success or failure rate?

Feign death breaks if NPC Spell hits you. Is this with any spell? Do none damaging spells (such as slow or blind) break feign death?

Feign death breaks if an NPC hits you with a melee/ranged attack For example if an NPC hits a double attack when you hit feign it breaks feign. What situation would cause an npc to not stop attacking as soon as you hit feign death?

Other questions.

Does feign death wipe the hate list immediately? I vaguely remember hearing that if you stay feigned for x amount of time the NPC forgets you. Do you need to wait until the NPC paths back to their spawn?

What is the Casting Refresh time with feign death? IE: if you fail how much time do you have before you can try again ?(this could totally affect how early and what situations you feign death on)

Can necromancers Feign pull to split mobs like monks? I know monk's feign death is an instant affect. But we have snare, can necromancers split camps using feign death?
