Does that reduction really have to be in there for a tank of all things? It's not exactly like we do a lot of damage to begin with. I'd still have a fairly hard time justifying spending half my mana bar or more just to dark arts this thing if so

Combined DoT potency is 240 which isn't affected by fall off. Maximum damage would be 480 and minimum 360 after all DoT ticks.

But to answer your question, I'm not sure. I didn't want to make it too strong.

Yeah the stun would pretty much be the only thing I'd use it for and honestly it's kind of absurd that any ability uses half our mana bar to begin with. Imagine if Warriors burned half their TP on a skill, it's crazy and dumb that they made DP like that now to begin with.

DP just needs a complete reversion. There is no excuse for it being the way it is, nor is it necessary to re-work the ability into something else entirely. Just put it back SE.

Grants the effect of Living Dead. When HP is reduced to 0 while under the effect of Living Dead, instead of becoming KO'd, your status will change to Walking Dead.
Living Dead Duration: 10s
While under the effect of Walking Dead, most attacks will not lower your HP below 1. If, before the Walking Dead timer runs out, HP is 100% restored, the effect will fade. If 100% is not restored, you will be KO'd.
Walking Dead Duration: 10s

Changing the ability as I stated basically allows healers to top you off as soon as possible without nullifying the defensive buff. Essentially turning it into something similar to holmgang with a longer CD, but it still requires you to die to activate, and has the risk of dying after.

Edit: Actually I understand what you mean now. I would rather change the effect from most attacks will not lower your HP below 1, to renders you impervious to most attacks.

Yeap, can't argue with that one.

That'd just make it Hallowed Ground except inferior.... Which it already kind of is anyways honestly.

Which is basically what it is now, but it would at least be more useful. The way it is now requires lots of tank/healer coordination.

What it is now - a worse Holmgang with a 2 min longer cooldown.

What I suggest - a worse Hallowed Ground with 2 min shorter cooldown.

Thinking that DRK needs maybe a little more utility, and a bit of its identity as 'magic tank' back. I'd stuff both of those into Sole Survivor because I'm boring like that.

Sole Survivor:
Increases target's magic damage vulnerability by 10%. (everyone)
A portion of damage dealt to target will be restored as MP. (everyone)
If the target should be KO'd in battle, a portion of your HP and MP will be restored. (the Dark Knight only)

I'd probably make Quietus oGCD as well, maybe. Not 70 on it yet, feel a bit unqualified to add much.

I like this! Although I think it would make everyone use the skill on cooldown for the debuff effect, making the heal kind of niche.

Sole Survivor:

Marks target with the status Another Victim. A portion of all damage taken by the target will be restored as MP. If that target should be KO'd in battle, increases Blood Gauge by 25 and 20% of your maximum HP will be restored.
Duration: 15s
Additional Effect: Increases targets magic vulnerability by 10%.
Duration: 10s

Reduce cooldown from 120s -> 90s

This skill is crying out to increase the Blood Gauge as well.
