Feign Death

[Messianic]

Jump-Feign is your friend. Particularly jumping around corners, off ledges, etc and feigning.

Reminds me of Vanish for rogues in WoW never working...

I got it to work last night after 4 attempts. Seemed to work when I didn't get the message "Soandso has fallen to the ground". At what skill does it work 100%, or does it never work 100% where I don't get that message.

Never 100% as far as I know but at high skill levels it rarely fails. Something like 1-2% fail rate.

Not sure on the figure (might be 95%), but I had it maxed on my live 53 monk and it still failed occasionally.

Three things can go wrong.

1. YourName has fallen to the ground means your FD failed and you are basically still viewed by mobs to be alive and delicious.

2. Your attack is on and you don't turn it off before you FD. Fail or not, you are still viewed as alive and tasty.

3. A mob started casting on you before you FD and you are still in LOS (and sometimes even if you're not). In this case, unless you resist the spell, its lunchtime.

Its higher than 1-2. I don't know what it is, but you get 2 in a row just often enough sometimes at level 50 with 200 FD that 1-2 is way too low.
