Class: Hunter.
Spell: Feign Death.

Issues:

  1. Drops agro from mobs in less then 50% cases.
  2. Drops agro during PVP (tested vs meele classes) in less then 30% cases.

Appropriate work:
100% agro drop in PVE/PVP.

It’s working fine and no bug.

I’m afraid of no class I’ve taken hunters out loads of time in pvp. Oh and fd isn’t bugged at all it’s working fine.

FD is bugged.
Already reported to FaiLizzard.

Proof it worked in vanilla for all you salty trolls claiming it works as intended:

yeap those vids def confirm it was working at some point. though its hard to tell what patch they are playing in exactly? and one of the video description says the following :
" Hunter spamming PetPassiveMode() to drop a freezing trap without feigning death first "
so is that the key to success?

Blizzard,FD+trap is BASIC hunter combo for pvp, fix this bug or most of us who playing PVP hunter gona leave Classic!First u keep DR bug of Scatter/trap, now we cant trap in combat at all, are u blinded?

I’m checking the forums daily do we have anything from Blizzard regarding this already?

Although I’m too old to play properly now, I spent many hours while playing vanilla at one of the top guilds in eu that time.

I can clearly say FD+trap is not working as it is used to be.

I feel delay between FD +out of combat state+ trap but there may be something else.

FD+trap combo is one of the strongest combo hunters have in their arsenal, actually almost in every pvp combat we were using it and without this combo working as intended hunters will fail.

Flaming people or saying ā€œdid you check your pet attacking or not etcā€ won’t help us.

I’m sure fellow hunters feel same problem since level 30 once they get it and started to see their strongest combo fail.

They have to fix this or most of PVP hunters will leave Classic, includes me :frowning: Blizzard plz let us trap in combat…U didnt fix trap/scatter DR bug and its fine, but now trap doesn’t works at all in combat, cause Feign death is bugged :frowning: do something,make something works… i already know 5-6 friends that’s gonna leave Classic till lvl 60 if bug still will be there at lvl 60.Its so retarded, FIX something, you cant keep every single bug for Hunter cause ā€œit was bugged in Vanillaā€.And it worked in Vanilla but Classic is bugged even more.

I can confirm that this does not work as intended. Even if the FD effect is resisted, there should be a 500ms window of leaving combat, where you can place a trap. Traps themselves are a terrible way of CC anyway, but making it only usable once every pull (premeditated that is) is NOT the way it used to be. I remember retrapping mobs in UBRS.

True, FD is not working. It should drop combat instantly so you can place trap instantly, even if pet is still attacking, as there is no global cooldown between FD and traps. People seem to forget that /petpassive was used only to keep pet from breaking frost trap, not to prevent re-entering combat. This is how it worked back in the day. Currently hunters in PvP are nerfed into oblivion, from one of the best world pvp classes to undeniably and objectively worst. Literally deprived of only CC available outside of survival tree. Imagine mage with no frost nova and polymorph - this is current state of hunters.

Possible solutions: fix batching shenanigans on FD, or allow traps in combat and cause them to trigger FD cooldown. Either way, #nochanges.

We do not have nothing…

waiting for FaiLizzard’s responce.

all i see here is ā€œWAAHH, i cant Scatter+FD+Trap peopleā€

FD was never a 100% to drop combat. (untill later expansions)
