I agree. It's very strange that you believe the mob attacking you while FD'ed is a success.

For reference, a successful FD is a scenario in which the mobs are not attacking you.

No, FD cannot fail without a message unless you do something wrong like not turning off autoattack.

What do you call a scenario where the mob is attacking you after you FD'ed?

Hey, uh, I have a FD question.

Does casting a heal or other beneficial spell on someone who has successfully feigned death break it?

No, it doesn't affect feign. You can receive heals/etc as much as you like whilst feigned out. I make use of this regularly when duo'ing with the wife's shaman.

Also, dot damage running does not break feign, provided the effect was put on the player before feigning out. Perhaps the most confusing is that a monster casting cancel magic won't break feign the way other spells do. I believe it's coded as "beneficial." Seeing a monster casting dispell is practically a relief.

A failure in situational awareness.

Can you turn off Ripostes? Last time I checked, it isn't player error to have an ill-timed riposte cause an FD failure. This will cause an FD failure without a "fallen to the ground" message.

Also, thank you for agreeing with me that there are other methods to check if FD failed besides looking for the "fallen to the ground" message.

That is not FD failing. That is the mob realising that they had been tricked. FD was successful, but the mobs are smart and can work out a successful FD happened and change their opinion based on new information...
