Game Mechanics: Monk Feign Death PL no longer works?

[xabler]

I used to be able to PL with my monk.. looks like there was a ninja nerfed, The PL chart no longer gets exp even if there was a Successful FD. Yes, i tried many times on multiple zones.

Are you staying down? if the mob is over 35(?) you have to stay down until it's dead.

[xabler]

Well i PL my friend a few months back in DL at the yetis and it worked fine. it didn't work today on the same mobs. Yes i stay down until is dead. did they do changes on the mob level in order to get the exp? it worked a few months back on the yetis at DL.

Did you remember to disengage auto attack before flopping.

[Brocode]

con the mob, if ready to attack, your fd didnt work.

you need a macro key as

/attack off
/doab # (number of FD)

if attack is on and you FD your FD fails but no message.

[xabler]

Working as intended. I don't remember ever doing a macro with attack off then FD to be indifferent during a PL. Then again i haven't played a monk in a few months. Anyways macro works. Thank you all.

You always have to have attack off when you FD.

[Danth]

You don't "need" the macro, that's only a convenience to turn two button actions into one. I've never used a macro on my own FD classes and have no difficulty. Point being as said by others in this thread: By whatever means, autoattack has to be off before you feign.

I've found that below a certain level mobs will always forget you after a successful FD. However, once you hit somewhere along 40....they won't forget and you have to stay down until the mob is dead.

You’re a high lvl monk capable of PLing yet you dont know you have to turn attack off before hitting fd for fd to work at all?
