Ability Breakdown & Details

Feign Death



What does Feign Death do?

First and foremost, Feign Death (FD) is a PvE skill, not intended for PvP.

Once a player gives the feign death command it goes into their command queue. The next time they are hit after Feign is queued up, they will perform an incapacitation animation. The player will stay down until they choose to get up by giving a stand or posture change command. MOBs will not attack players while they are in this feign death state (although AOE shots from NPCs and Creatures can and will cause "real" incapacitation; if this happens 3 times in a row then the player is killed. After the player initiate a feign death, the NPC's and creatures will lose interest and eventually wander back to their lair. They will however re-aggro the player if they are still nearby when the player exits the feign death state. Players under feign death can be immediately death blowed by hostile players. HAM does regenerate while under feign death, presumably at the same rate that prone regeneration occurs.
