Dark knights - Living/Walking dead bugg

I don't have the specific time for this but I can give the information I know.
My raid group was in Ravana EX, we were going to have the DRK use him Living Dead for 1 of the mechanic. After the buff turned from living dead to walking dead. me and the other healer healed him up and after the timer ran out, he still died.

To confirm this, me and the tank went to helix to test this out. The DRK took all his gears off so he died faster from 2 adds. When his hp was low enough, he used Living dead. After his hp hit 1, I spam healed him up to full hp and even had a adlo on him. the 2 adds that was on him also went to me from the healing so he took no further damage. He also was healed up 3 sec at least prior to the buff timer run out. After the full duration, he dropped dead.

The tooltip is written terribly. You have to heal him for the total amount of his full HP, which you cannot do if he doesn't take additional damage after your first heal since he still had 1 HP left. Have a look here. So basically you need to heal > he takes more damage > heal again (at which point he doesn't need to have full HP, the total amount you healed just needs to equal his max HP).

If this is intended behaviour (which would be stupid) then the tooltip needs to change. My assumption is that the skill needs fixing so that heal to full = Living Dead disappears.

Thats just plain stupid. I think they did not intend to have it like that. That is a complete waste of a skill. practically 0 chance of living lol

Agreed. Most of my DRK friends don't use it because nobody knows how it actually works. With that tooltip and the stupid mechanic I'm not surprised.

Now I understand why I sometimes still die... And no, it wasn't that instant % heal issue. Just with pure raw heals spammed.

If this is intended to count the 1 hp from the buff... Then this makes this skill 100% useless in some occasions where YOU CAN'T TAKE MORE DAMAGE subsequently ...

We just did some testing and got some very interesting results. Here they are :

1. Aggro a mob
2. Active Living Dead
3. HP drops below zero - Walking Dead is activated
4. Kill the enemy
5. Benediction

SUCCESS

1. Aggro a mob
2. Active Living Dead
3. HP drops below zero - Walking Dead is activated
4. Have an off tank provoke the enemy and establish aggro
5. Benediction

SUCCESS

1. Aggro a mob
2. Active Living Dead
3. HP drops below zero - Walking Dead is activated
4. Stun the enemy
5. Benediction while enemy is stunned

FAILURE

1. Aggro a mob
2. Active Living Dead
3. HP drops below zero - Walking Dead is activated
4. Stun the enemy
5. Have an off tank provoke the enemy and establish aggro
6. Benediction while enemy is stunned

FAILURE

It seems whenever stun is involved, it does not work. What the hell?
