When you feign death a Jedi can use the Healstate in xxx4 Healer to get you out of Feign Death

Oh and the Bomb droids used to kill us
How can you exploit FD?
By faking death?
That's the definition of feign death.
Using an ability the way it was designed is not an exploit.
So no more DB when feigned, eh?
Is it back to black-barring now?
And what is AI?

It happened to me twice last night. I finally get FD to work (4 out of 10 times attempted) and twice a Jedi ran over, healed me and I got right back up. Luckily I was nearly at full health due to teammate heals, I stuck him with concussion and made my way back to my group.

what really annoys me about fdeath is it seems to randomnly pop me back up like 5-10seconds after it works. and its not jedi healing me or anything, seems it happens quite often ill
fd, then a bunch of ppl will crowd round me, just as they are about to run off i pop back up and get worked. this seems to happen maybe 25% very annoying.

Well if a Jedi can break combat and disappear, I see nothing wrong with us playin' possum in the middle of combat.

I think you get up if you're rooted and the root goes away.... or if you have other states on you

Yes i agree, we have the FD skill but it doesnt work as supose to be i think.
I though enemy player(pvp) could break it only when dot me (e.g. choke) or a friend heal me as enemies cant.
But yesterday i found out an very odd stuff:
I was pvping and i FD 3 consecutive times in a row,and it got broke everytime in about few seconds.Only in the first time i was choking and that had wear off already,then i sudenly get up,very annoying, then i keep trying FD till a sucess it 2 more consecutive times but still it got broke and i wasnt dotted at all,with states or any friend has healed me.
So would that be an exploit? or its suppose to work that way,In my opnionif it is its sux.
Greetz,
Jac

Feign death fails often enough that it shouldn't have a counter. There's nothing worse than failing feign death three times while a Jedi chases you, taking damage while you're knocked down from the failed feign death, then having the Jedi bring you out of the state.

See trolls, now ya have two choices: flame the guy for not being uber enough to take out a jedi (ie not dabbling in the right defensive lines of other professions), or you can say "hey, you're right, while a smuggler should not be able to take a jedi 1v1 in every case, a smuggler shouldn't be such an easy automatic kill for a jedi...therefore FD should work properly."

FD only works about 30% of the time now. The success rates have changed SIGNIFICANTLY. So now can I not only NOT use it in PVP (because of the stupid HealState rubbish) but I now can't use it in PVE either because it almost always FAILS....
