Anyone else feel like DRK is a bit lacking in PvP?

I know what they all do, I just don't get how that makes it terrible...

Compared to the other 2 skills like it on the other jobs, its nowhere near as strong on the CC side

Its basically just a bad version of hallowed ground. im only comparing it to holmgang because it has the same effect of keeping your hp at 1

Duo'd with a WAR the other day and he Holmganged a dragoon off of the spawn point and we ganked him haha. Good times.

Except no.

A group of rival GC members are trying to cap/uncap a node. PLD goes in to stop them. He can use Circle of Scorn and Glory Slash, if they're up, and then he's limited to single target attacks. If there are more than two people interacting with the Tomelith, the PLD will not be able to protect it. If he pops Hallowed Ground, he'll just be ignored and the point will be capped.

Same situation with a DRK: The DRK runs in and can AoE until they run out of MP, which basically means that until that DRK is killed, the tomelith cannot be captured. Add onto that Living Dead and you've got a target who is preventing the entire enemy team from capping the point AND appears to be almost dead, and suddenly you're going to have an entire alliance targeting your ass and ignoring everything else, leaving your team free to heal, kill and cap.

Congrats on completely missing the point of my post

I said that Living dead does not have the lock down capability of holmgang, or the CC immunity of hallowed ground while only having the same basic functionality of denying death

at no point did i say living dead was weak in FL, i said it was weak compared to holmgang and hallowed where CC is concerned
