When monks INTIMIDATE FD doesn't do anything

[Stormfists]

Keep dying when using intimidate then FD'ing. Not classic.

Thought best to let someone know.

[Daldaen]

This is extremely vague.

What is the issue?

You hit intimidate, you FD, mob continues to beat on you? Intimidate has to go through its full set of motions before it fires off the fear component I thought? So if you are FDing before that occurs, it's possible the client considers that fear as you breaking your FD.

Try again let the intimidation animation complete then FD and see what happens.

Are you turning auto attack off before you use feign death?

I'm trying intimidate right now in game:
1) gain aggro
2) activate intimidation
3) while intimidation graphic is active, use FD macro that turns off attack before FD'ing
4) mob stops attacking immediately on successful FD

[Stormfists]

Auto off, intimidate still running, fd successfully, melee only mobs, dead.

Mob patted through wall and brought back 2 adds so had to FD then and there as was 8% health.

Probably considers intimidate running a breaking of FD... couldn't remember this being the case in live though, although haven't played in a while.
