So i've thrown a point into feint bomb on my PVP (not WoE) chaser,

the damage is kinda bad, is it worth leveling to 3, or should i max a debuff?

The amount of cells you backslide depends on the level of your Feint Bomb. If you feel like using Feint Bomb for getting away from dangerous situations, level 3 might improve your odds of getting out. It's 9 cells, based on what the Balance Patches say. That's a few more cells than what a typical Backslide offers. It's your call.

And no, the damage won't improve much more with the skill level.

3 cells from Level 1 Feint Bomb isn't a lot at all and there's so many attacks that can still attack you from that distance. If you plan on getting it, max it or bust.

Max FB is like spamming backslide 3x, but much faster. Leaving it at lvl 1 is the same as a backslide, except you waste paints.

It depends on your playing style really, many SCs do fine without Feint bomb. It's just another way to quickly get out of a sticky situation.

Not like PvP matters at all anyways. It's just there to kill time. Feint Bomb has also been disabled for WoE due to some people being pricks and ruining our fun by abusing a certain bug with it. Frankly I feel it's a complete waste to get it at this point, when it can no longer be used for WoE for the long foreseeable future.

It was pretty good when it was still usable in woe. Lets SCs sneak through a hard to break through precast and scramble everybody.

Can it be effectively used in PVM for, say, a quick escape from a mob?

to this point I'm thinking of maxing bloody lust instead though

[GuardianTK]

You should always max Bloody Lust nowadays. I cannot stress enough how useful that skill is now post-Balance Patch update when used properly.

But yes, Feint Bomb would be useful for escaping from mobs. Still a waste when you have Backslide though.

Isn't Feint Bomb currently disabled because of the GM Hide bug or has that already been fixed?

Yes, it's disabled because of that. No fix has been found yet. Probably won't be for another 2 years.
