Feign death DOESN'T WORK

If you feign death as you’re getting hit spell batching or some nonsense make it so you never get out of combat it seems. Feign works about half the time and this is incredibly frustrating. Will this be fixed anytime soon?

Pretty sure it kinda worked this way in vanilla, but felt better locally to the player doing it back then. When you are fighting 1 thing, if you scatter shot first, it will gauruntee they aren’t able to hit you when you fd.

You’d be wrong. It’s currently the busted Legion version of Feign Death. Before that you could use the ability while moving and just keep on going, instantly drop a trap, etc.

If you had something like a DoT effect on you, I’m 90% sure FD would fail the minute the damage ticked again. There was certain types of combat moves that if they were already in motion you would get hit after the FD effect still. I myself haven’t experience the Classic version of FD yet, but I can assure you… I FD trapped many times in Vanilla. It was reliable most of the time, but it always had weird quirks… The problem is I seriously have not played for 13 years because I quit at the end of 2006 before even BC. I only suggest scatter shot, because it gives you more control over what you want to achieve. FD trapping in place was always a little wonky.

Feign death can not be used while moving in Vanilla. You need to be standing still to cast it. However, there is currently a delay when casting Feign Death which is causing a lot of problems, and another issue wiht pet delay that compounds it. If working properly Feign Death would immediately remove you from combat, unless resisted, and if macrod there should not be any time for dots to tick before a trap is put up.

Hey drakke, nice transmog!

Only the third hunter ever in the game I’ve seen to still have it, including me!

Yeah. I couldn’t put my finger on it but it just does feel right. It fails all the time; trapping macros are super hit and miss; and until someone else pointed it out, I realised I’ll was attempting to FD whilst running on muscle memory.

This really is a core mechanic for vanilla hunters. I hope it gets addressed.

Feign Death needs to be looked at ASAP
