Thread: Feign Death revisited
- Commando/Smuggler v. Jedi: balanced? I think not.
- Commando/Smuggler v. Pike/Swords/Fencer fotm that was supposed to be a thing of the past...balanced? I think not.
- Commando/Smuggler v. ...you get the picture
Soon there will be twocookie cutter player types in the game: Jedi and Ris-wearing Melee Stacker. THEN you will see balance. 1 on 1 battles will last for 7 hours and 45 minutes and the rest of us can be crafters.

Your question isn't really about enjoying your profession it's more about making you uber enough to be anyone else.
I enjoy mine to the fullest
I'll take this profession completely as is, but I want to know what the real story behind this FD "counter move" is.
I'm happy to be a support profession, but the truth is that when I'm marked as the area rooter, I got multiple jedi on me at the beginning of every fight. Again, I am fine with this theoretically...because of FD. But now FD is just another useless icon for your pvptoolbar.
Before the CU, someone who feigned could still be hit...set on fire, decayed, blackbarred, you name it. But you couldn't get them up. Now you can't be attacked, but someone just has to walk up to you and...heal you?

The feign Death move is HealState in the xxx4Healer line of Jedi. Not many have it.
As for you being attacked first, I am attacked first as well but my protection and my other Crowd Control mans protection is paramount to the success of the Squad so I assign people to Gguard me, then my partner and I use RL to concussion or panic each others attackers as well to keep people off us.

Non Jedi are getting me out of FD.
Edit: there's a bigger picture I'm trying to address. "Heal State" isn't called "Nullify Feign Death" and I doubt that getting people out of FD is part of the move's description.
Smuggler is getting whittled down to nothing...we need unarmed and pistol xpfor a master profession that is good only for slicing, and maybe throwing a state or 2 on some people before getting ripped in 3 hits or less.

I am MC.MS.4xxxCM and the second CC guy is MC.MS.44x4PISTOLEER so he strafes intimidate and stopping shot and i handle concussions and roots, then we focus on single targets til the concussions break. If a lot are still standing i area panic.
It's nice that you guys are logrolling and all, but this thread is about FD.
I posted this to get a read on other people's experience with FD and it's supposed "counter moves", but apparantly no one has a problem with it, so I'm not going to continue banging my head against this wall.

ok ok ok im sorry for going off topic a bit. but i have to be honest. i dont use FD very often in pvp. it rather take the incap/death just my playstyle. BUT in the few times that i have used it. i have never been brought out of it. just hastn happened to me. and ive never seen it happen to other smugg's on WH so i dont know what to tell you.

Let's not forget all the tells we get from CSR's telling us not to exploit when we're FD'ed in PvP, even tho i've been using FD since january 04.
Oh and the Bomb droids used to kill us
