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.

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.

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.

You still didn't answer my question about riposte lol. Can a player turn off riposte to prevent an FD failure due to a poorly timed riposte?

Thank for for continuing to agree with me that there are other ways to check if FD failed too.

There is no way to turn off ripostes. Riposting can break FD without a fail message.

I have heard some SKs do not train riposte ever in order to prevent this.

Also, just a note to the many many people reading: riposte is pronounced rih-post. Like “rip” a piece of paper, “post” it on the wall. Incorrect pronunciations I have heard include “rip a site,” very creative, very annoying.

Thanks Videri!

I know you guys love to bash people, but that doesn’t mean we can ignore the correct things someone says.

Just so we're clear here, riposte is not a threat to breaking FD and no, FD classes don't "skip" training riposte for safety.

This is ancient aliens level delusion.
