Thread: Feign Death
the time it takes to initilize is proably due to your previous move, if you do something like shoot last ditch, you have that long delay before the next combat que action triggers.
Once FD triggers you have to actually get hit, you go down but it says that you FD and you get eh little FD icon in your HAM bar.
The incap timers still shows while your FD but you can hit /stand anytime. and ya in PvP folks can still bleed you and stuff. knock your ham all black if thier board enough. But the one thing FD does for you is they Cannot DB you.
Note: If the hit that you take to FD knocks your HAM into negative numbers (ie - you get the little red countdown bar in your incap timer), you need to wait for that to get to 0and make sure all of your HAM bars are positive before you hit /stand and get up. If you HAMs are still negative when you try to stand from a FD, you'll end up incapped for real...which will most likely result in a trip to the cloning center.

Ok i know the incap timer will come up but will stay at 0. Now i didn't know i needed to be hit for it to work, and with that hit does it usually do more damage then usual? So when they do that and i end up getting incapped and the timer isrunning down from say 45does that mean i can be DB'ed? even though i have the effects of FD on my bar?

you can never be DB while FD.

Hey guys! Working my way to smuggler now...though I'm curious about Feign Death....
To what extent is the first box of feign death useful vs higher end NPCs? I'm talking like stormtroopers and such.
And feedback is appreciated, thanks!
Its extremely usefull.
It will fail now and again at the lower levels but being able to FD bleed those high level mobs is the difference between living and getting great exp and dieing a painfull and ignominius death.
While fighting some meansith force guy I did /helathshot2;/feigndeath, and having a pretty fast pistol ( .5 speed ) I managed to shoot him once and do feign before he managed to actually "incap me" and ive noticed fiegn being considerably slower with slower pistols, anyone else notice something like this?
