Advice on FD macro
As a Monk, I have heard talk of needing a macro to cancel your autoattack right before you FD. I've been doing this for a few days now, and I see no difference over just using the FD skill directly. Is such a macro really necessary?

When I just used regular FD, I had situations where I'd be fighting a melee mob, FD successfully, and the mob would keep attacking me. After I created a macro with just two lines (first turn off auto-attack and then use FD), I have since never had this issue. If you don't have this issue then don't bother, but I hear it's pretty common.

/attack off
/feign /sneak /pause 1 /sneak Dont know if the sneak applies anymore, dont really care as it doesnt hurt or delay anything. I dont group anymore but I used to have this macro and basically a macro for simply shedding aggro where I add /stand and /attack on at the end. And I definitely notice a difference with ending attack first. For me, this absolutely and unmistakably increases successful feigns by a non trivial amount. | ||

Make a macro: /attack off /doability 1 (if Feign Death is skill box "1" on your abilities hotbox) For training up FD, make an "evade" hotkey and if you aren't tanking just hit it a few times a fight. /attack off /doability 1 /doability 2 (or whatever number sneak is) /stand /attack on | |||

Thanks guys. Estu, I've noticed that if I FD while a mob is in mid-swing, my FD will fail, even with the macro. I had always thought that melee attacks were instant, so this was not a factor. Am I wrong, or do you know of another explanation?

Back in the day, I used to have to hit the Esc key and then my FD key to first drop target or else it wouldn't make the mob necessarily stop attacking, though I want to say even then it was odd at times. But, that is basically what it looks like the above macros are doing. I hit esc to stop attacking target, their's is just straight up stop your attacking. I would probably just make a macro if I were to play Monk again, perhaps. Yes, macro probably best as hitting Esc doesn't stop auto attack. =/ But to share anecdote from past
