Ok, we are not monks, we cannot leap in the air and fd mid fall...no no
no, we must STOP while 80 mobs from hell are breathing down our backs,
NOT get stunned (large races like to turn to face the mobs cause they
cannot be stunned from the front...we poor humans and smaller get broken
from the front just as easily as from that back), cast a 1.5 sec feign
spell that MAY or may not get interrupted due to stuns or us just not
stopping short enough while casting, and fall down to play dead at a
mob's feet. We can only pray that we have the mana, cause SKs only get
as many feigns as they got the juice to do it...
((So YES, this is a hint...SKs that are not troll/iksar cannot regen hp
or mend like monks, and NEED mana....so enchanters with crack, druids
and shammies with regen spells, take CARE of your sk pullers, they regen
mana and hp back at 1/4 speed when feigned))
I used to just cast my feign spell gem blithely, I don't anymore...
Why?
A) Healers don't realize I am going to feign, and start healing me
before feign....so even tho I successfully feign off the ten mobs on me,
they go look for Dr. Strangelove the Cleric who healed me while I was
awake.
B) if I have auto attack on, and i successfully feign?....the mobs don't
GIVE a crap....I will continue to get pounded, and pounded hard.
So, I make a hotkey:
/attack off
/cast 7 (the spell gem I have feign in)
/groupsay Feigning off %t
This assures my group knows I am TRYING to feign or have NEED to feign,
and also turns off any accidental swings of mine that will cause feign
to fail
some other notes:
While I have SUCCESSFULLY feigned, feel free to heal me as much as you
want.....once I am down for good, healing will not add you to the mobs
hate list
Thorns and damage sheilds I BELIEVE (need to verify, but I seen it go
bad before) bump up the sheildcaster onto the hate list when I feign
myself off the hatelist, so I remove sheild buffs when I pull, this
includes some ranger buffs that have a build in damage sheild. Nothing
like successfully feigning off 5 mobs and watching them all book back to
your camp after the mage with his damage sheild on you.
When pulling around water, sks and other feign pullers, if you dont have
your own breath of the dead up, get someone to water breathe you JUST in
case....nothing worse than successfully feigning but in a body of water
so you drown to death rather than have the express train you pulled
flatten you like a pancake.
