Recommend keeping that separate from just a normal feign death macro, because you don’t always want your pet collapsing to the ground when you do. It’s fairly common, especially when soloing, that you want to feign aggro to your pet.
Another worth-while book/ability that can be obtained in Sholezar Basin is the chameleon ability. Makes you untrackable.
The only way I can get FD to work properly for me is to put it in a macro along with /stopattack, /stopcasting and /cancelaura Aspect of the Turtle.
If I just put the skill on my hotbar as is, I go through the animation, but it doesn’t drop aggro. I figure it has to be a latency issue.
Noted. Thank you.
I’m just here to add that the one dude Abeaver or whatever is a complete dolt playing devil’s advocate to be difficult and stifle an otherwise intelligent conversation about an ability, it’s intent, and it’s performance in game over time.
Besides that, Atlanta has the idea.
i only notice FD problems when i start pulling +10 mobs then i have to turtle exhil maybe pop a pot just to clear distance to hopefully get another reset cause it apparently didnt even use the animation but theres a 30 second cooldown ! just make it so damage doesnt cancel the animation ? which would make sense cause when youre actually feigning death damage doesnt stop your channel
100% agree that FD is broken. I’m fling in the air, so no pets are out, and I pick up a flying mob, so I land and feign death. The mod stops attacking me, but goes straight after my pets, that were never out when I pulled the mob. So I feign death my pets, which in turn pulls me out of my FD and the mob attacks me! The whole reason I FD’d in the 1st place.
(Necro’d lol)
play dead rarely pulls me out of fd. I can faintly recall it happening, so I’m not quite sure. The majority of the time using play dead doesnt break my feign. My hunter is also a night elf so I have meld on deck
Did you try releasing your bowls? We all know that when you die that you poop, so that might be why they know you’re just faking.
So, do you have any first-hand experience using this method of playing dead?
A log verifying a successful conclusion would be best…
FD works before flying I just ran through hundreds of mobs FD waited a second for them to reset then camo’d out. Assuming you’re standing before all mobs reset.
