Feign death suddenly not working as intended?
 

For the last few days Ive been noticing some odd behavior with FD.

I've also been having really bad connection issues. Maybe the server thinks I'm a few seconds "behind" when I'm feigning (and thus, much closer to mobs, and/or still in their LoS)

1) I pull a group of mobs of any type (all melee for example)
2) Go around a corner OUT of line of sight
3) Feign death, mobs lose all interest (con indifferent, etc)
4) No spells are landed on me after FD (or its melee that cant cast anyway)
5) I stand up and instantly get aggro again? Even though I'm not in their line of sight as far as my screen shows

Being out of line of sight does not have any bearing on whether or not the mobs blurred when you fd'd. Try using sneak before you stand.

Mobs under level 35 will lose interest 100% of the time. Did you level recently or fighting stuff tougher than 35 now? If so there is a chance they will still aggro you immediately, from the other end of the zone even, once you stand up.

That explains its, Sizar. I just recently passed 35 and thats around when I noticed it happening.

Maybe I'll add that bit of info to the wiki page for monks. Seems like a pretty important note (that could easily be confused as a bug / lag)

You have to use sneak.

FD, hit sneak (either wait until the skill would come back up if it failed, or just wing it and stand), wait for the mob(s) to walk away, stand.

Sneak-FD wipes you from any and all aggro lists. It also the single best way to pull and split groups. You can single pull from a pack of 10 if you sneak-FD, and pull while all mobs, or all but the one you want, are walking away.

I had forgotten about this tactic until someone reminded me about it. Now I use it every time.

Also, keep in mind that LoSing DOES NOT prevent mobs from completing their spells on you.

Hope this helps.
