Miscellaneous: Monk Feign Death Blur

[jpetrick]

There is no way this is working properly right now. Every time you feign there should be an increasing chance to memory blur a mob, this percentage should eventually hit 100%. I don't think the chance to blur is increasing at the moment.

i have seen few mobs insta forget you, but not ALL, pretty rare tho. The last part is for sure working.
