More Traits not Actions for next expansion.

Something I've thought about DRK would be an enhanced Sole Survivor.
If marked target dies under the effect of Sole Survivor, Walking Dead status is lifted.

Note it's not Living Dead, but Walking Dead. Meaning you'd have to actually be under the need for a full HP recovery for this to take effect. Making it not too overpowered, but more importantly bringing DRK into a realistic balance with the other tanks as they are now.
If a PLD or WAR has the need to use Hallowed Ground or Holmgang, they both have options to recover HP during the time they're active. DRK however, has no way to remove it's own death sentence and is 100% reliant on a healer.

Just to check, are you are are you not able to die during Walking Dead, prior to its duration end? Because if you can't, you've now lost whatever remaining duration you have on being able to hang out at 1 hp when that Sole Survivor removes Walking Dead. That can as easily be a nerf as a buff.

What I'd personally like to see is for Living Dead to simply be based on a % of base HP, or quite simply allow negative HP and simply require positive hp at the end of the duration to survive. Short of a Minus Strike, there's nothing to balance out the increased healing requirement for higher vitality otherwise. The penalty increases with item level. That should not be the case.

Living Dead is Cancelled when you drop to 0 HP.
Walking Dead will stay active, and are unable to die for the duration. You must be healed for 100% of your HP in order for the affect to wear off. You do not need to be healed to full HP, but you must be healed for however many Points of HP you had lost.

Yes the idea is you would lose out on a bit of immortality time. The same thing happens when you're healed through it as it currently works.
Sole Survivor does heal yourself for 20%, so it's not as if you're suddenly vulnerable and hanging around at 1HP.
WAR/PLD can both heal themselves out of a HG needed situation. Right now, DRK cannot. The idea is to alleviate that.
