From my litle experience follow this "How not to get the KD bug" guide and you should be fine.
1st solution, dont fight...
2nd solution, make sure you /dump just before doing the KD recovery. It is obvious to me (so far) that recuring macro will kill your recovery...so plz /dump first.
and also dump first before figthing a defender...cause they take a while and you dont want it to end up in your underwear.
This doesn't work. I run zero macro's and it happens to me all the time from Jedi ONLY. I wonder why the jedi I hunt constantly spam saber throw. It's to try and kd bug me. I don't do it on my jedi as any BH who hunts me knows I KD maybe twice a fight once I've rooted (as a jedi).
I'm really sick of this bug on my bh though. Especially when it's a jedi I know I could kill and he then talks crap after it. That really annoys the hell out of me.
jedi spam saber throw because most bounty hunters kite, rather than standing there, personally i'm not waiting until i'm within 5 meters to start hitting you and making you heal. but i also have a bh, and this bug is frustrating in the extreme.

no its wrong to assume a jedi is intentionally trying to bug you, for most jedi its the only ranged attack they have and if you are kiting them what do you expect? for them not to attack you lol, so that you dont get the kd bug. fact is saber throw has a pretty high action cost and i would rather use other attack of i had a choice but the only way to beat bh these days is to manage to outlast there buffs or outdamage thier heals and to do the latter you need to keep up a costant swarm of attacks and saber throw is the only way to do that if they are kiting you.

Kill me if you want, but there is no such thing as a kd bug. Havent had it in months.
Just do the following: Stay calm, stay calm, stay calm and hit KD recovery once. Works for me everytime.
DONT SPAM kd recov.
If you work with attack macros you might have to /dump. Cant say because I dont use them.
And for the poster saying ALL Jedi are doing this to HIM intentionally: lmao
Totally agree....add on to this...waith to be on the ground to try recovering...if you keep smashing it while running (having the text telling you that you should be down)...you will only waste your time and get stuck on the ground. i had one fight that i was running straight while supposed to be KD for more than 45 sec.
so summary:
1-stay calm
2- wait for the animation of you falling to go on
3- /dump if you have a macro going on
4- clear the combat queue by pressing Esc.
5- Now hit KD recover ONCE
Eineet is correct. There is no "KD Bug."
If you find yourself laying on your azz, you're not paying attention. You can't shoot laying on your back. Stop trying to do just that.

Good advice... I usually /dump my macro, hit the escape key, and then use the KD recovery... as long as I have enough action, it tends to work.
Good to know. I've been hosed by KD Recovery not working more times than I care to think about at this point.
I'd been using a Duelist Stance macro, but maybe I'll just hit the command itself instead.
