Why was Living Dead not removed?

I am also curious about DRKs HP pool, where it relates to LD and how that correlates to the effectiveness of TBN. Some of the leaks gave stat values for HP pools on WAR and PLD, I believe, but I saw none for DRK. I know DRK always trailed behind WAR on hp pool numbers due to job themes (defiance). But on the leaks, ***and granted they are leaks even if they were very accurate leaks***, PLDs hp pool was higher than WAR if I recall correctly (110k+ hp as opposed to 100k+ hp).

Pure speculation. I can see hp pools only being mentioned if they were above and beyond or extra special. Giving me the impression there was nothing special about DRKs hp pool, meaning it more than likely could be less. But how much less? Who knows. Is it possible that DRK has hp numbers closer to that of PLD, yes, but I find that highly unlikely because it wasn't mentioned and devs, in my mind, would shy away from doing that bc it would make it even more difficult for healers to reach the threshold WD demands. Even if it was only slightly more demanding. So is LD holding back the Hp pool growth of DRK for the next expansion? Maybe.

And if the hp pool of DRK is hampered to make LD easier to cleanse then it would have a knock on effect of making TBN less effective since it is based off hp percentages. Again, all speculation based on an incomplete information, but it makes me nervous never the less.

Another reason the fix or nix LD. #fixornixLD

Edit:
Replayed xenosysVex's video and saw stat values at the bottom. Thought the were blurred out for some reason. DRK seems to be up there with PLD. Open world gameplay, I don't know what level, showed stat value at 111,400 HP. So great news for TBN but bad news for DRK when using LD and healers that have to top us off. Looking forward to telling to healer when I'll be using LD and them saying "I'm clear, I'll be saving a swiftcast for you".

LOL for real, this so much this

Havent seen any footage of LS AFTER a DRK dies though, but I thought either one of the leaks, I had heard that LS was supposed to "assist the DRK with enmity gain" again, this prob came from a vid maybe raziel's from before media tour embargo was lifted. I am guessing though that like pets, once the drk dies, Fray disappears as well. If not...I guess this could be a wasteful roundabout way to avoid the healing and just sc raise the tank.... and for the record I too hate the term "magic tank" when they should have thrown that out the window the minute PLD shield blocked magic damage - period.
