Thread: Feign Death in PvP
Oh FD icon duh lol. So we just bled and burned him and threw everything we had on him to make his bars black.
Well i'de like to say that I have successfully used the FD in large PVP battles a few times. When I would get cornered all by myself, with no hope of getting out alive, I'de Feign. Then call in the troops. Usually a combat medic.... with area mind poison.... Thepeopleare alwaysso busy making me pay for not dying they forget to check their radar.
ThenI stand up and we both have a good laugh ![]()

I always take the black bars. Usually in large scale PvP...I sit there like a toasted marshmellow....waiting for that moment when my comrades swing the battle...stand up...and put the finishing blow on the **edit** that put me on fire.
Was it worth it? **edit** skippy it was ![]()
Without decay, it was largely a matter of how big of a hurry I was in...
If I was in a hurry, I'd go ahead and take the DB, clone, and go on my way.
Now that decay is in, I think I'd rather take the black bars. I can do that and eventually the guys will get bored wounding me. Then, I can stand up and go see my sexy Master Dancer / Master Doctor friend and be all healed up and fully buffed in 10-15 minutes.
I started scanning the surroundings to find 2 players (who showed up as red in my radar, which is what confused me since I never do PvP) standing at the edge of ranged weapon range. I noticed that one of them wore the tag of SHDWS, which is an imperial guild on Ahazi notorious for ambushing rebels showing a TEF. I'd heard stories about these guys and how they have covert buddies that will heal the one declared guy to aid in the attack in order to get a numeric advantage. By the time I gone through these thoughts in my head, the fire and bleeding had reduced my health into the negatives, and I decided to just stay down. I actually expected these guys to come over and burn me down, but they left after a few minutes.
I guess the point of the story is that FD sometimes works in PvP.
p.s. - this story isn't meant to flame anybody who might be a member of SHDWS. I'm not fond of PvP or people who feel the need to attack other players (particularly those who are weaker than themselves), but they're just having fun in their own way. Afterall, the PvP combat is built into the game, and the experience was a bit exciting in a way.
