Thread: Feign Death question
Oh you prolly didnt miss him either. When we Feign Death we actually take the hit and then some and we feign that that hit killed us.
Love teh skill..i often use it when PvP'n and i want a smoke or somethin..I'll run into battle and fiegn death. Do this if I'm in say Theed and not many Imperials there at the moment to help me out. I could use a break, but wanan keep teh rebs there...hehe so i run in ,Feign Death, and wait till reinforcements show up...While you lie there I usually collect quite a crowd.
It's just fun sometimes. hehe .ok enough spice induced ramble..

Nevermind, hehe Ireread your post. I see where you said he was fightin the ST's.
You also can rack up quite a pile of battle fatigue while feign death if they are attacking you I've noticed.

Smugglers not only take wounds when Feigning Death but their equipment can also take damage. So if you really want to do some damage, ruin our armor while we lie on the ground. I think most smugglers would stand up and take the 5% decay to our armor from death rather than to have it destroyed while feigning death.
No more decay in faction death .... yay!
I escaped certain death once via feign death. I was riding around AH when my speeder auto-stored. (I was overt) Decided to creep up to tousche station and call my bike. A rebel rifleman spotted me and gave chase. Several of his shots landed and I was forced to feign death while he stood over me blasting away. After a few minutes I sent him a /tell saying that my incap counter had triggered and I needed 50 seconds berfore I could stand up. So he stopped attacking and sat down to wait for me to get up. In reality my incap counter was only 20 seconds. So i waited then stood up.... Low blowed him, panic shot him, and burst ran out of there. (shrug, just one of my ol' war stories)

If i had a nickel everytime FD saved my arse.....
Usually when I'm getting pounded on while /feign...i send a /tell to the attacker and ask "So....have you had enough yet?''
At least it get's a chuckle out of them.....then there are the countless people who ask me "how do you do that? Why can't i db you?'' and get a few accusations of hacking and what not...i simply tell them it's a smuggler trick. It's fun being a smuggler....wait for them to gett attacked, then just haul arse out of there.....
which makes the DOTs own looting rights.
when it comes to DOT's, even if the DOT itself did 99% of the damage to your foe, unless you actually directly had an attack that affected his primary HAM pools, then the DOT damage is "up for grabs".
that's my impression at least. many times I hit a creature with a DOT, then FD. I never did any damage to the primary HAM pool. and if the creature died (way back when DOT's could actually kill) then i got zero XP. Now i usually LB, apply my bleeds, and fire a few more shots to make sure i do some real damage before I FD to make sure I get all the credit.
DOTs don't count towards XP now, so I'd guess that they don't apply to looting rights, either.
