Would Living Dead have been a good ultimate for WHM?

So I don't usually come to this neck of the woods, sticking mostly to the tank forums, but I'm currently still fighting to have Living Dead balanced. I think it should be on the same CD timer as Holmgang since its usefulness is pretty much equal outside of timers.

That said, I would rather they replace the skill entirely, which brings me to this post.

What do healers think about the idea if they had made Living Dead a WHM ability that gave a target player a buff for 10s in which if they "died," they would need to be healed to 100% of their HP or else actually die.

I personally think the ability belongs as a healer one since it gives the healer the power and choice to use it, and WHM specifically is best equipped to deal with it. Granted, the name would need to be something more fitting for WHM, like maybe Blessed Guardian or something, I don't know.

What do people here think?

I think that would be to much stress to deal with. Besides isn't a healers job to not let someone reach 0hp?

Well the idea is that if more than one target need urgent attention, you could focus one while delaying the urgency of healing the other a few seconds. It also does save people from certain instant death mechanics.

Id rather they just rework living dead period. At the moment is one of the abilities DRKs get nervous to use. Giving it to a healer who's paying attention to group health and keeping up their dps might be to much.

Fair enough, I posted to here to get feedback I wouldn't really be equipped to know otherwise.

Gonna agree with Hugowulf on this one, it kind of contradicts with our role entirely.
