Living Dead and other DRK QOL in 5.3

[cactuarzzzz]

Soul Survivor would end up being used as part of the mitigation rotation, (20% bonus healing plus 30% of your HP restored? That's better than Clemency) so you can't guarantee that it would be available to use just before you need to hit LD.
Plus you need to use SS before LD or that 30% HP heal won't save you, so your invuln becomes 2 buttons... that you need to hit in a pinch. Surely that's making things more complicated?

Are you intended LD to be a panic button?

Were you intended LD to be a panic button?

That's exactly what it is, outside of Savage/Ultimate.

Within Savage/Ultimate all of these draw backs aren't a problem, because everything is planned out to the second and you and your party should know what to expect and when.
Your healer will know exactly when they need to heal you to full, so it all just becomes another 'mechanic' to address.

No good DRK using LD without planning ahead. If you intended LD to be a panic button the fault is not mine. Also if LD is used as a panic button outside of savage/ultimate then you can see how DRK would have easily died because they didn't plan to reserve enough MP like you planned.
