Question for people on beta

I just realized that I may have misunderstood what that beta poster was reporting based on what you just posted.

The poster in the beta forum never mentioned if their FD was resisted. They just reported that they didn’t drop combat.
I ASSumed the report was about non resisted FD’s.

I remember all too well when FD got resisted and that mob just smacked your body to death.

By ‘out of combat’ I meant mob not beating on you, not you actually dropping the combat status (crossed swords).

Looking back, I think Hunters may have dropped combat if their pet was still attacking while they had Feign Death active. Immediately after exiting Feign Death, you would be entered back in combat. This was necessary for the way that traps worked in vanilla. As I do not have a Hunter and I haven’t played with any L30+ Hunters yet on beta, I’m unsure of the veracity of the claim by the poster. It could have been resisted or there could be other factors at play as well. Until another player who plays Hunter makes a post in the topic (or Blizzard confirms or denies the bug report claim), I don’t know if this is a bug that exists on Classic. Sorry!

Even after the change, it was possible to ambush from shadow meld, just not from right in front of the target. You can still use meld to go largely unnoticed, and hit an unsuspecting target from the side or rear.

If I recollect correctly, you wouldn’t target someone casting on you until the cast was complete. Currently, in Classic, players will automatically target you when you begin casting (like in BFA). So, it may be of slightly less use if this functionality remains the same at release.

@Wsl-nemesis

if you are in combat , means you have aggro i think till 1.11 we could FD and drink during boss fights but now you are always in combat, but only will drop out of combat when your pet dies or is dismissed, unless you get FD resisted

I was unable to find any documentation for this in the patch notes. Maybe it was changed at one point to where you were instantly put back into combat? I do remember being able to Feign Death and use traps, but I am having difficulty remembering if I would have my pet with me or not during those times.
