It’s incredibly easy to break the animation and stay in combat, if you’re even holding right click it wont go off. Now in PvE when I use it I take my hands off of my mouse/kb except the 1 button but even then sometimes it still wont work, I’m guessing due to being hit, for PvP however it’s much worse. In vanilla I don’t recall needing to practice special tech just to have a shot at getting FD/trap in PvP but today I’m at a 90% failure rate on getting the trap.
Edit: and I’m using a proper macro that puts pet on passive.
Can confirm this. Any sort of movement seems to cause unexpected results with Feign Death. No resists present, mobs will continue hitting, never detarget and keep the hunter in combat.
In pvp additionally, player attacks often carry through after using Feign Death instead of canceling attacks and deselecting target.
As well as the above issue, there seems to be a substantial delay between casting Feign Death and being able to use a trap.
What’s up with this? FD seems so buggy , I can’t FD trap very well in pve and it’s 10x worse in PvP. I played hunter on private servers before , this combo isn’t anywhere close to as buggy and broken as on classic rite now. Blizzard fix this garbage, I’m getting wrecked by trash players that belong in little blue cubes
If it is the pet does anyone know of a way to make a macro so feign death has 2 conditions: in combat and pet being on passive, before feign death is cast? That way we can test it out and see if that is the problem?
Did some testing, if you hold RIGHT MOUSE when you cast feign death and move at all it stands you back up or puts you on feign cooldown and does not feign you.
Drakke, that is because its almost impossible to keep your character from moving if you are holding down the right mouse button. Feign death is reliant on your character standing still. As soon as you move, it’s cancelled.
Yeah, it’s not supposed to function this way in classic at all. This is the scuffed post Legion version of the ability that they still haven’t fixed almost four years later. You didn’t need to stop moving, hit the button, and wait a full GCD for the ability to work properly vanilla-MoP.
Even if i pull my hand back and let go of my mouse entirely feign death simply goes on cooldown when I press it. No resist, just cooldown. Are you guys telling me that your feign death works consistently when playing? I only played a hunter in vanilla and have never seen it fail so much.
first casts pet follow then only activates if combat and pet following… from what im understanding theres a delay between pet follow cast and when the game actually regs it as following so maybe if the macros activation requires that as a condition it would work? not entirely sure if it’s even written in the proper format, not sure if petfollow even qualifies as a possible condition for a macro
right? when a melee player jumps me i try to FD trap, but nothing happens … i look like an idiot and then have to raptor strike my dignity away until i die to a key turning clicking bfa player.
Feign death seems to fail for me unless I make sure I’m literally pressing no movement keys at all for like 1 sec prior to using it. Makes using it in PvP really awful.
