Monk skills: Leveling up Feign Death and Sneak?

[Sillyturtle]

What controls when these level up? Is it just the same type of thing as Sense heading, where repeated use will slowly level them up, or do you have to be sneaking near a mob? Is it time spent in sneak mode, etc?

[Qian]

It's just like Sense heading, keep mashing the buttons and they will keep going up. Nothing special needs to be happening around you.

Thanks very much!

I suggest just making a macro you call "AgroDrop" and use it from now until the end of time. Use this in groups and raids with a tank so as not to be called out as a mongo and noob by l33t players.

Put in it (bonus if you are Iksar):
/attack off
/doability #where-forage-is
/doability #where-FD-is
/stand
/attack on

You can also work Sneak into it to level that at the same time.

Then just keep mashing it when FD comes off cooldown.

I made a macro w sneak, sense heading and /loc (and /who on red) and bound it to me right movement key ^^ Was able to keep sneak capped as I leveled up. I use an n52te, so it was more convenient to just flick the stick rather than constantly mash a button. Though mash I did for FD. Sneak maxes at 113 though for monks, which means even when maxed it may still take a few tries to work.

It is also important to note that successfully sneaking while FD acts like harmony and causes mobs to turn and depart for their spawn points at the exact same time making them difficult to split. Ideally, you should wait until only one remains and only then pop sneak and stand once it turns around. You'll then be ready to snag it w/o Re-attroing the others.

I'm pretty sure this is incorrect.

That is very not how it works, they return in the same way no matter when you sneak during FD

That macro needs a delay and an autoinventory. You're probably better off just moving forage to its own setup.
