That's right, the whole point is to avoid the death blow. They can still whack you, etc. so that's the only point. If they ever got rid of that, it would be useless.

I mentioned this in another post......but the 3 times I feinged death (ever)I got stuck in incapp. Chem was nice enough to teach it to me me, but the darn thing doesn't seem to work for me I don't know what gives?

This might have been explored before but I don't feel like searching right now. One thing I have noticed since I got DF4 is that IF i successfully FD, I will NEVER die. Even if I have 200 HAM left and get hit by a dark jedi master for 2k(but oh yes, my ham bars drop!). I am not sure at what skill level this happens(DF2,3 or 4) but I can go make dinner while feigned in the middle of a night sister camp on dathomir.

huh clearify? feign death means you can't get DB'd thats what the skill does, allows you to 'die' in hostile territory hopefully having your friends clear the space out or drag your 'body'.

Actually, just having DF I,you cannot be DB. It's how I was almost able to solo a.... better not say, but it's soft hit is for 5500 xp.


Spice and armor... pretty much useless in that matter. Next time... t-shirt and underoos.

Are you saying that Feign Death stops you from being death blowed? I was under the impression that it just acted like a incap and that mobs that would normally walk up and DB you, would still do that.. If I am wrong on that, it might actually make that line worth having.

yes if you can actually get the thing to stop thinking you are running it works. Again if you know you are gonna get killed try to cue it up before you get hit. If you get hit with a bleed I reccomend staying down till it stops, because its a one use only. If you get up then incap again without feigning you can die like normal.

I remember when I first got feign death, I decided to test it against a famba on naboo. I was hit for about 1200 to my mind and was killed without a death blow.

Regarding getting it to work while running, just replace it with a macro


/prone; /feigndeath


Easy.

I was actually able to use it multiple times on a single mob. It's how I was able to solo Baz Nitches, Mulclock Bulls, Mtn Clan people, etc.

I solo droideca and other big hitters using feign death. I pop off a couple heartshots make sure to hit it a few times with regular shots then FD.Let myselfheal up while the mob slowly dies. Get up when it wears off rinse repeat. Its not the best way to get exp butIts fun to take out things that most people cant solo.If I was really lucky I could take down a dragon that way. The point is in some ways we are the best soloists in the game.


I have taken down many big hitting reds this way not that I do it all the time becuase it takes so long but once in a while I try something really nasty. I have assasinated IMP generals surrounded by stormtroopers the same way.


I dont recommend trying this for exp becuase like I said it takes way to long but if your feeling lucky and have an hour you might try killing something that makes most professions just run in fear.

Bleed / Feign Death is the best solo Combo in the game.


The other thing I use it Low Blow / Head Shot 3 with my 772 Dmg T21.. 4k Dmg Bleeds on Mind.
