Annoys the hell out of me too, died a few times because of it in Mnalus Lair. Getting up should toggle FD off, it doesn't.

Have they considered changing the aggro radius around a mob to be smaller when attacked from behind??  Then when we feign, and mobs turned to go back home, we'd be less likely to aggro other returners or fewer of them like back in Eq1.  If they're close enough it's gonna happen some, but doesn't mean all mobs would turn around again.  Just a thought to help with overall use of FD pulling, and maybe toss a bonus to rogues.  Also, i'd think that linked mobs would have a central target everytime... a leader.  Attack him, all come as he's barking orders to attack... attack the lesser grunts, they run in single or with a mate or 2.

Really? So does that mean we're stuck without random walking paces until next year?

I really don't like the way this new FD sounds. I like the way FD is now,  save for the fact it never works on mobs significantly higher than you, but I can deal with that.

If they're gonna turn it into a "skill" thing (which I personally dislike) a la EQ1, they need to cut the reuse timers on all versions of the spell in half and make it not run on the global cooldown.

hmm ok i have couple ideas that might work as kinda like a patch sort of, how bout when we pull let's say some linked mobs.

#1 the "wink" ability..ok so u have mobs camping ur corpse well not really corpse cause were only faking out death  you know the slow heart rate ect ect., but anyways as mobs are standing there we can   open one eye and wink at the mob we target causing confusion and the others just leave.

#2 the "psst" abilty as the linked mobs leave we target one mob and use the "psst' abilty  so only the targeted mob hears it and comes back to take a second look?

i think a 5 min reuse timer on either of these to abiltys would work nice in a raid scene

 also on the fd skill lvl mentioned lvl 50= 500 will lvl 50's be granfatherd in or as well as all current lvls to have there fd skill match there lvl?
  how will the skill lvl be raised?  not gonna be very popular if ur in a grp fding all time while grp fighting  :ocause u need to raise ur fd skill lvl

just curious how that gonna play out for lvl's 1 thru 49

I once saw a Monk with a Ring with about +70 Feign Death. Does this work ?

At work and trying to remember... do mobs hang around after they kill you ?  That's what old eq1 had, and a random time period that they lingered over the fallen.  Sounds like the whole things an issue with the way mobs path... i've pulled before only to feign, and noticed roamers run back to where they would have ended up if they'd continued along without my having disturbed them.  Like somehow their still tracking the path they would have taken.  Sorta seemed like their pathing was too pre-ordained.  Maybe they learned it in MOB 101 : Be here or be square!

Ditto to losing the global cooldown for FD!

Q for QTM... when it becomes skill based, (or maybe we should say Rating based), will that apply to disciples version also?  Am assuming no for necros as theirs is a spell.
