Feign Death TCG

In the TCG

Hunters blur the line between life and death.[1]

Feign Death is a level 6 hunter ability. It causes the hunter to fall to the ground and pretend to be dead for up to 6 minutes. This clears the hunter's threat, leading mobs to either attack the next-highest target on their threat list or, if no other target is available, drop combat altogether. It also prevents nearby mobs from noticing the hunter as long as it remains active.

Hunter pets can be commanded to feign death with Ability rogue feigndeath [Play Dead].

Tips and tactics[]

  • Feign Death is immediately canceled by turning, moving, or taking any action.
  • Ability hunter camouflage [Camouflage] can be used straight from Feign Death.
  • Feign Death cannot be used to drop combat during boss encounters.
  • This ability will make the hunter drop from enemy targeting, forcing enemy players to re-target. It also cancels any in-progress spellcast targeting the hunter, and makes pets and minions stop attacking until they're ordered to attack again.
  • While Feign Death is active, the hunter's health bar will appear empty and display the word "Dead" to other players. A quick way to tell a dead hunter from a feigning one is simply trying to attack them. If the game returns a "Can't attack that" error, the hunter is dead; if the attack lands, they're feigning.
