PSA: Living Dead not affected by Benediction!

[Violette]

I'm also posting this in the bug section, but I thought people should know:
Living Dead does not work with Benediction!
Tested this intentionally in tarasque fate by popping living dead, proc'ing into walking dead and then having the healer benediction me. The debuff was not removed.
Replicated this in the Aery and in Sohm Al.

Beware Drk's, the time to write a macro saying;

/ac "Living Dead" <me>
/p I'M GONNA DIE, DON'T BENE ME! CURE II PLEASE

Ouch that's weird.

Does Benediction + Cure (overhealing) works?

Server went down before I could test that, however in the tarasque fate I was bene'd then I got a medica and was still dead. So, gonna start killing myself all over the place to test :/

It probably is a bug or just that Bene doesn't "Cure". It just "Resets" your HP back to Full.

I've only had Living Dead trigger once and it was in Syrcus Tower believe it or not.
My macro states that I used the skill and healers agould heal accordingly.
When there were a few seconds left I was healed full and walked out of there like a baws.

Truth to be told though. It's pretty nervwrecking to see the timer tick down waiting for heals hoping to survive lol.

Yeah, that's what I think it is too... which is actually really bad if you think about it, since with benediction it was a "this is great, healers can do other things then poof I'm up!".
Now it's "This is worse than holmgang because I will die if they're every 1 hp less than full"

Not quite. I still have to see myself, but I was informed Living Dead's Tooltip is inaccurate. You only need to be healed a "Total" of your HP. Not be completely topped off. If you have 9k HP then you only need to be cured for a -Total- of 9k.

I don't know what happened on your end but i've yet to get this bug. Bene works fine for me when I use living dead and have the walking dead debuff on

Well, with this and Zethie's post below it seems like Living Dead is just bugged to hell

If it's the total, it'll be pretty good but I still see it as lacklustre because of no healing bonus from it (the same reason people don't like holmgang.... though defiance gives the bonus healing, greedy wars).

Benediction doesn't appear to "reset" your HP to max. I see green healing numbers equal to my max HP when it's used on me. Seems that it just looks at the target's max HP value and gives you that exact amount in healing with no modifiers. Now, are you sure you're not falling afoul of the old bug/delay we have with Hallowed and Holmgang where you KNOW you hit that heal/CD in time but server says no? (But your skill on CD says yes. )
