Yeah, "nothing wrong" such balance here.
You'll have to blow Healer Cooldown if either Warrior has to use Holmgang, or the Dark Knight has to use Living Dead. Both require a CD use because you're fighting one foot back otherwise - and that's no good for you.

Yes, Hallowed Ground is the epitome of an "oh shit" awesome button. However, Dark Knight - in my view - is substantially better off than a warrior is.


1) Longer duration, more time to react and fix the issue.
2) The only drawback is that you will "Die if you aren't healed", which if you're using this emergency CD, healers are likely pumping heals into you anyways.
3) it doesn't bind you in place, resulting in possibly being hit by random AoE. I've had to Holmgang so many times, resulting in living for the duration of it, only to have it wear off as an AoE lands on me and kills me instantly (because AoE's are so much more potent.)

Do I think Living Dead is perfect? No, but I think the Dark Knights clearly whining about it have never used a truly painful CD like holmgang.
