P99's resident necro expert... and I totally agree, FD'ing probably does wipe your damage totals.

If your intention is to wipe aggro then that's fine. If not and you're unsure about having done 50% damage, pull your pet off at roughly 20% and secure the last damage through dots yourself <3

Blabbermouth more likely. :P

Can definitely agree with pulling the pet off at 20%. As soon as the mob starts death walking, let your DoTs do the work, since you wont have to keep Fear going.

once you stand back up from FD do the ticks start counting as your damage again? never seen a necro PL wasn't sure if they stay FD'd until mob dies or they can get back up immediately.

On a successful FD, you should be safe to stand back up and your DoT will not take XP. However, I found inconsistent results. Most of the times, my DoTs would not take XP. But if I stood up instantly after the FD, it would sometimes do so. So, I FD, wait 3-4 seconds, and then stand up, sit down and med.

So no, normally successive ticks after standing up from the FD do not count toward your XP. You FDing off the initial cast of the DoT forbids all the DoTs damage, making it void.
