    I personally wouldn't mind losing Dark Mind in exchange for a life leech on Sole Survivor. But even as it is now, WAR and PLD already have some short CD, pretty strong self-healing and a better ultimate mitigation move, so I'm not even sure DRK should have to sacrifice anything.

    To be fair, I don't think DRK should be able to leech its max HP amount, but it point another "flaw". Right now, whenever you have to do something solo as a PLD or a WAR, you can recover on your own if you're ever in need of using your "I won't die button". On its own, DRK using Living Dead is either useless or a death sentence. So, maybe the mechanic of Living Dead needs to change.

    I had an idea a long time ago that Living Dead should create a zombie/clone/shadow/grim_reaper/whatever_you_want_to_call_it if you reach 1 HP (With the same HP as your max HP), and that you needed to kill it before the WD timer reaches 0. So, a solo DRK with a Sole Survivor HP leech could recover some HP (I'd say about half with the effect alone for its full duration) and kill the target on its own to survive Living Dead and keep fighting.

    Since WAR and PLD can recover much more than half of their max HP every 2 minutes, I don't think it would be overpowered.
