After a lot of experimenting I’m now using this macro.
You have to spam it to make it work.
It works as a normal freezing trap while out of combat and as a fd/trap combo while in combat. It works for me.

Not sure if you’re serious… the complaint is this… traps from a hunter can only be used out of combat but feign death! ( As well as ‘tricking’ mobs) used to drop combat, combat as in the actual state of your character , in combat or not, so whether a player carried on attacking you or not that split second would drop you from combat so you can place a trap, this is what seems to be not working properly
From one hunter to another can you please type in here what the skill frein death does. Please thank you. And I will use my vast knowledge to help you.
Bro u cant find macro that works in combat cause FD doesn’t works, it works in 50% cases i will explain why. I testing it now 2-3h with friend in duels, with this delay time, enemy have chance to hit you on delay moment and that will keep you in combat, if u got me.Chance to place it is only if enemy doesn’t hit you on “delay moment” of dropping combat.So faster attacker is, like Rogue, more chance u will not drop trap.Sometimes it wont drop combat even he doesn’t hit u at all, its simply buged, most of time it do not works, i know for sure 1 example why and where doesn’t works, but there is more situation than that where FD simply don’t drop combat 
i loled hard on this.
The gnome is correct it’s working fine and my macro works also but not divulging it unless you can find me ingame. Could take you years but I’m normally hanging around a certain npc that is named after my ex.
You do know that fd is a skill that only tries to trick the mob or player into thinking you are dead nothing more. There is no 100% resist mechanism on this skill but maybe a mpv might be able to explain it better to you as you think it’s broken when it’s not. You could ask me ingame or if I’m streaming as I’m always showing my working macros but I’m not on twitch or mixer. Only leaves one other.
You people are either trolling or not reading.
Feign Death does not drop combat in PvP, ever. It is literally impossible to trap in PvP. Pet dismissed, attacking target then feigning. I even tested it several times in a duel with a lower level. It. Does. Not. Work.
Major bug, report it to Blizzard and hopefully they’ll fix it asap.
I also second the Intimidation bug. It takes forever to apply, even though it should be applied on pet’s next basic attack. I can see several basic attacks going off after I’ve pressed it and it still does not stun before a couple of seconds.
OK let’s talk about combat not dropping in pvp then I’ll explain I’m a say lvl 60 horde rogue in pvp I come across a alliance hunter in pvp we fight and the hunter fd to try and trick me I see through this trick because I know how the fd skill works I carry on stabbing the hunter till death and your saying its not working in pvp well its working fine and now thinking your making up this bug thing to gain a unfair advantage, its not going to happen.
can confirm FD into trap isn’t working the way it should
This should be top priority for Blizz. A hunter without FD/trap in PvP is like a mage without frost nova.
You don’t seem to grasp the issue, when the hunters FD it is suppose to drop the hunter out of combat (Until you hit the hunter again or he/she hits you) while they are out of combat they can place a trap.
It does not place them out of combat, this has nothing to do with the fact that yes you can still continue to attack the player, when activating FD Hunters are supposed to be dropped out of combat for a bit no matter be it PVP or PVE.
I remember hunters ice trapping me a lot in Vanilla when doing PVP using the FD technique.
What’s up with the weird guys today…
Lots of trolls who do not understand Hunter mechanics at all. It’s not that FD makes you invisible or something the point is that it should drop you out of combat for you to be able to lay a trap or shadowmeld if you are a Nelf or any other spell that needs you to be out of combat to use it. However like everyone is saying it doesn’t drop you out of combat (we all checked it is not resists at all - we are aware that the spell can be resisted - side note even when it does get ressisted you do not get a notification for it like you actually did back in vanilla).
So hunters are a broken class because their core mechanic DOES NOT WORK!
Haha, little stupida warrior, comfort yourself cause bug goes in favor to warrior.
There is nothing “new”, FD have to drop combat instant, its how spell worked and should work in last 15 years.So if it drops combat trap on macro should placed instant and thats how it works.stop spreading false information about what has been known for 15 years.
I cannot join Classic WoW just yet, but I intend to main a hunter as soon as I can. If this bug exists the way you describe it, it is a major game breaking issue for hunters.
Probably the most well known basic pvp hunter “trick” was to scatter shot --> feign death to drop combat --> place freezing trap (for which you have to be out of combat) at the feet of your enemy --> get distance between yourself and your target while marking them with hunter’s mark --> aimed shot, auto attack, multi-shot etc. …
If a non-resisted feign death does not drop you out of combat hunter is broken.
What I cannot remember is if players (as opposed to npcs) can actually resist feign death in a way that you do not drop out of combat. As far as I remember, the combo that I described always worked to a 100% in pvp, but in pve vs an npc only if the npc did not resist feign death
Sure it is bug, u have to read again and see my link where ppl in US also reporting that bug, FD do not dropping combat vs player also, that’s main problem, u cant teach me how it works when am 2.4xp player and playing world pvp since 2004. and ur random PVE guy.I perfectly remember how it works on Vanilla wow.Lol you tested it in BFA and it works perfectly!? xD is this joke? I am 2.9xp in BFA arenas, and 2.4xp as hunter/rogue , sure it works perfectly BFA u dumb,do not talk something u have no idea pls…Blizzard forum is full of players that actualy do not even understand what means when Feign Death can not drop combat vs player at all… i just cant believe how ppl cant realize that something is bug cause it doesnt doing something it supposed and made to do.Feign death is made to drop combat and it doesnt drop, u have to test in in Classic live 1.3 not in BFA.You claim something u didnt test or saw… -.- what a community… it is 50-50 to drop combat depends of FD delay… its server lag or FD bug, but something is wrong and need to be fixed.It is not about macro, FD alone is buged, when u press it vs player or NPC either, chance to drop combat is less than 50%.
i wont even read your comment after “my hunter is lvl 9” stop talk about something you didn’t even tested yet!I repeating over and over stop talking about something you know nothing about.only reason why u are against fixing this bug cause comfort yourself cause bug goes in favor to warrior or some other class.
