Monk feign death

[StephenD]

I was in Paineel with my monk and found feign death didn't work against the skelly guards. Is that normal? It works with my necro there.

Perhaps you forgot to turn off attack before FDing ?

[Baler]

What's your FD skill? How many times did you test it? What level is your monk? (level should be irrelevant just checking though)

Or maybe you just failed every time. heh

[StephenD]

OK, I just popped in to test the "turn off attack" and it worked. Thanks. I've never had to do that before with fd. It worked and I am happy. Thanks.
The monk is lvl 24 with fd maxed out. I tried it at least a dozen times with failure each time.

you always have to turn off attack and then do it. Was like that on live too. I suggest making a macro

/autoattack off
/pause 1
/doability (# that FD is at)

this is the best macro you will ever make

[StephenD]

Thanks. That is gona be a game changer.

Throw a sense heading and a /loc in there and you sorted!

In my opinion don't use a macro. There is a delay involved. Just practice hitting attack off before you feign death. Both should be bound to keys. I had Q for attack and F for Feign Death.

[Rygar]

I would suggest using the macro, the time it takes you to hit 2 keys is basically equivalent of the delay on the macro, you don't even notice a difference. Also less risk of a fat finger on 1 key stroke instead of 2.

In addition, I always put sneak on after I FD in my macro. I know it is less useful with the nerf, but it still can help and I also flop crawl a lot of dungeons.
