I was talking about how it acted on a live server not on p99; I know all too well
how FD works on p99, and was only talking about a resisted spell breaking or not
breaking FD on live.

If a mob casts an unresisted spell on you and it doesn't break FD regardless
of lvl, then that's a bug, but getting FD to work 100% correctly has always been
a mysterious art on emulated servers.

Actually I can't remember if dispels are still considered beneficial spells on p99,
if they are and a mob dispelled you, it might not break FD.

After lvl 40 you can forget about roamers ever forgetting you except for 1/100,
but you can use a stalking probe and sneak when you stand back up to pull
and split casters without them ever having line of sight on you in the first place to
even cast once.

There are 2 non-classic things that happen on this server that never used to:
1) Dot Ticks ignoring re-aggro rule after feign death. When a mob is dotted and you feign, the mob fails to reaggro while your dot continues to tick.

2) Fully resisted nukes that do NO DAMAGE break feign death. Spells without a direct damage component break feign death. This was not classic, I remember playing a monk and shadow knight in Vellious and hoping that I would resist a caster nuke so that feign death doesn't break. This is not the case here.

1) DoT ticks should reaggro but not if you have a successful mem wipe on Feign. If the NPC resets it WILL NOT reaggro because of a DoT tick.

2) No. Any spell cast on a player that was FD regardless if it was resisted or not broke the Feign. You needed to Feign in between NPC casts or wait for refresh if you got hit.
