    Living Dead definitely needs to be tweaked. It's only a safe bet if you have a White Mage who is understanding what is going on AND they have Benediction ready. You technically have to heal MORE than max hp considering the fight doesn't just stop when you go into the zombie state. Some of my suggestions to buff it:

    1. Add a built in Convalescence into the zombie buff.
    2. Give the Dark Knight a Souleater buff (life steal), DPS increase and Defense UP while a zombie.
    3. Add some type of visual indicator, maybe with a large Doom timer and transformation, to reflect the zombie state. A flashing HP bar would be useful.

    But.. a healer just needs to heal the maximum HP of the Dark Knight, even if the fight continues. If DRK has 10K, just need to heal the full 10K HP, even if it doesn't top off the DRK.

    You don't have to heal MORE than max HP even if the DRK is still taking damage. The condition to heal Walking Dead is actually not having the DRK reach his max HP, it's only healing him for an amount equal to his max HP. It means that if the DRK has 15k HP, you only need to heal him 15k during Walking Dead and he will be cured even if he doesn't go above 50% health because he's still taking damage. Let's take an example.

    DRK has 15.000 HP at full.
    - He uses Living Dead to survive an attack which would have been lethal to him.
    - He is now sitting at 1 HP, in Walking Dead state.
    - WHM uses Cure II, heals him for 6.000. DRK has 6.001 HP, still Walking Dead. HP restored during Walking Dead : 6.000
    - Boss attacks DRK, DRK takes 4.000 damage. DRK has 2.001 HP, still Walking Dead. HP restored during Walking Dead : 6.000
    - WHM uses Cure II again, heals him for 6.000. Selene at the same time, uses Embrace, heals him for 2.000. DRK has 10.001 HP, still Walking Dead. HP restored during Walking Dead : 14.000
    - Boss attacks DRK, DRK takes 2.500 damage. DRK has 7.501 HP, still Walking Dead, but proceeds to a Dark Arts Souleater crit which restores him 2.000 HP. DRK has 9.501 HP. HP restored during Walking Dead : 16.000, Walking Dead is cured.


    It requires not as much healing as ppl tend to think especially when he's tanking and consistently takes damage, making the healers healing him anyway.

    The tooltip is wrong and it has to be fixed however.
