DRK's Over-reliance on WHM: Are we Dead or Alive?

[Brightamethyst]

That said. A SCH excognition and auto crit + shield to healz can top you off easily with Adloquim just as quick as a whm not using benediction.

That's assuming Excog and Recitation both happen to be off CD at the time, right as you pop LD. The odds of that are pretty low.

Still a healer issue not a darks. The game currently relies heavily on whm due to it having 13 heals all higher potency and mostly none sharing a cooldown. most whms don't even use their resource for healing while sch is stuck relying on multiple timers for its abilities along with low potencies and AST may as well be a support dps with the nuber of actual heal abilities it has and their actual heal output besides Essential dignity.

Would be nice if something like benediction was a role skill for healers. WHM players might whine a bit but everyone else wont. Just give WHM something else unique to compensate

I like everyone giving ideas but in my opinion Living dead would be better with the effect of: when the player hp hit 0 he dont die. And thats all i mean something like holmang were you are invulnerable to death. Make it 1 or 2 seconds longer because if when effects end you are in 0 hp you die and the warrior at least have 1 hp.

I’d rather not. We don’t want to repeat Stormblood where we threw most of WHM’s utilities to other Healers. Plus, it’s healing we’re talking about.

Every time I see this thread this goes through my head:

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted (wanted!) dead or alive

I'm starting to think Dead or Alive would make a great skill name only I'm not sure if DRK or GNB would be more appropriate for it.

It’d make more sense on DRK given its theme of life or death. Still, I’ve been thinking for a bit:

Living Dead
Cooldown: 240s

Applies Living Dead to self.

Living Dead: If HP is reduced to 0, this effect restores HP equal to the damage taken from the previous attack and applies Back from the Brink.
Duration: 7s

Back from the Brink: Reduces Damage taken by 90%.
Duration: 7s

If Living Dead were done this way, it’d make it very, very close to a Tank Invuln due to the 90% Damage Reduction after you take a hit that would kill you(i.e. Titania Lightning Tether), and also the HP Restored from a big hit. It’d help alleviate Healers a bit in dungeons as well who might be struggling to keep up at the moment too.

The 240s CD is tentative, since an ability like this would be beneficial unless there’s a situation that reduces HP to 1 as an effect for a Tank Buster.

This isn't needed at all since they all have their own versions. Just two of those has been nerfed to hell while WHM wasn't touched.
